Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Our people strewn across the lands, With sharpened crosses and books of lies, By sinful minds and brutal hands, They smote with hatred in their eyes, Our spirit beat so strong, Our children took to the streets with heart, Yet guns curtailed our Hebrew Song, Their blades to rip our kin apart, But now we see a brighter day, And glories from a clearer sky, We'll see our brethren and we shall say, The Covenant's day now is truly nigh, For Beiteynu! For Beiteynu! In all we do and all we love, We aim for one uniting goal, Never again shall the tyrants' gloves, Brandish our bodies, sheathe our soul, For Beiteynu! For Beiteynu!
