My letter to the New York Times RE Biden Calls Ties Between U.S. and Israel ‘Unshakable’

RE: Biden Calls Ties Between U.S. and Israel ‘Unshakable’

Dear Editor,

Israel is constructing more illegal settlements, exasperating tensions, empowering radicals and throwing up crazy ideas in order to either continue on with its illegal occupation and harsh oppression of the Palestinians- or to have as much bargaining power as possible as a huge international push for peace and Palestine forces everyone to take both peace and Palestine quite seriously.

Netanyahu's
calculated foolishness in demanding "an Israeli military presence on its [Palestine's] future eastern border to prevent the import of weapons and rockets that could be aimed at Israel’s population centers" completely ignores the fact that that eastern border is with Jordan and Jordan is already perfectly able and willing to stop the smuggling of weapons and rockets used to target and harm men, women and children in Israel, Jordan and Palestine.

Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab

Need the facts on Palestine?
