Jewish organizations and advocates for Israel should remember that "speaking truth to power" does not work when you are seen as the powerful one.Check out his complete op-ed. |

Broken (Feb 01 2005 00:58 GMT) - If you break my heartIt won't be the first timeI have put the pieces back in placeAnd with all my strengthMade them bindTo form a fragile replicaOf the first heart I possessedBefore one and many moreToyed with it carelesslyAnd tore it from my chestWithout a thought as to whome it belongedOr if they knewHow much it wanted to believeAnd felt the words they spokeWhich sounded so sweet and trueBut held only bitter griefSo if it is games you intendAnd know nothing of the love I needThen do not hold my heartFor one more shatterWill make it impossible to mend |
