The poetry of Alexandra Troush

Alexandra Troush is an Israeli poet and personal friend. She helped to get Murtadd to Human off the ground by translating Hebrew texts into English. I would like to introduce another side of Sasha to readers. Two of her poems are published below with her kind permission, and may be found here, amongst others.

Academia

When all hell broke loose
Something within me opened
What released itself was resentment

It was dormant all those years
Accumulating over decades, centuries, millennia
Of being prosecuted and ostracized
Demonized and dehumanized
Thickening in my blood
And the angrier I become, the more they point their fingers
“Look, they really are evil!”

“Don’t burden yourself with these thoughts
Or you might find yourself isolated”, I’m told
When what alienates me is having been born at all
A living Jew, no less
What an irritating anomaly I must be!
To the modern academics and intellectuals
Debating the Jewish question still

The Future

All of these kids don’t know
That they are calling for my murder
Chanting for my death
In the name of what they think is just

None of them sees
That they are being purposely blinded
By hate
By politics
By propaganda
Carefully designed to appeal to these young social warriors
Who consider themselves too clever to be fooled

The only thing that makes me happy these days
Is that I don’t have children of my own
I’d be devastated to have brought them into a world
Where they’d either become mindless tools
Or the few forced to stand against the mob

Dear Anjuli Pandavar

Thank you for publishing Alexandra's poems. I certainly understand her frustrations but there's hope, and the hope is with these wonderful people who will save the Jewish people from themselves and the woke regressive Leftist useful idiots in the West.
