What Israel, Palestine and Hamas needs is a great big Melting Pot

The words to this song may sadly be considered too inocent, too simple and so many would overlook the importance of simply trying your best to be friendly and respectful of all people no matter what their race, religion or beliefs. Sadly we are seeing some of the most intense bombarding of inocent people in Gaza by the Israelis in return for what they say is attacks on civilians by Hamas. Who is to blame.

I don’t think blaming someone is going to solve this fighting. Unfortunately I think this continued fighting is not going to be solved overnight, It may take generations of gradual change. Children need to be taught respect for other people and as they grow and become people in charge of the countries, only then will change start to happen.

So if you feel like you can do nothing to help, why not sit back and listen to the words of this song and maybe think about talking to your next door neighbour or that person down the road, who may not have the same colour skin as you, but is still a member of the same human race as you belong to.

See the full words to Melting Pot below

Take a pinch of white man
Wrap him up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of red Indian boy
Curly Latin kinkies
Mixed with yellow Chinkees, yeah
You know you lump it all together
And you got a recipe for a get along scene
Oh what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take
The world and all its got And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score

Rabbis and the friars
Vishnus and the gurus
We got the Beatles or the Sun God
Well it really doesn’t matter what religion you choose
And be thankful little Mrs. Graceful
You know that livin’ could be tasteful
We should all get together in a lovin machine
I think I’ll call up the queen
It’ s only fair that she knows, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take
The world and all its got And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score
