My THANK YOU letter to the LATimes for clearly stating and publicizing the fact that anti-Palestine laws need to be repealed!!!!

RE: Editorial: Using the United Nations- The lopsided vote for Palestine's entry into UNESCO shows how isolated the U.S. and Israel are.

Dear Editor,

Because of Israel- specifically Israel's talented lobby which seeks to use American laws, courts and Congress to oppress and persecute Palestinians both here and there, America foolishly vetoed Palestine membership in UNESCO and next might pull out of the United Nations agency "that helps protect patents and copyrights and is of great importance to Hollywood and Silicon Valley...."

THANK YOU LA Times for clearly stating and publicizing the fact that anti-Palestine laws need to be repealed!!!!

Congress might not do the right thing- but they are certainly much more likely to do the right thing if we the people and our fourth estate help our Congress understand and support the right thing.

Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab, American homemaker & poet
