Rev. Sandra R Mackie's 1-6-22 letter "Supporting a country that denies human rights is wrong"

Dear Editor,

Rev. Sandra R Mackie is right: "Supporting a country that denies human rights is wrong"(Jan 11).

This tragic situation has been escalating for decades, with American money and clout empowering Israel's long term quest to impoverish, oppress, and evict the native non-Jewish population of the "Holy Land."

Too many of our elected leaders, and too many religious leaders, have been pulling a 'Ghislaine Maxwell' in helping Israel violate international law and the Palestinians' basic human rights. 

Modern man-made "Israel" really has been brilliant with PR (and subliminal persuasion) for instance stealing its official name from many a beloved hymn and prayer, so that Christians tend to just think warm, fuzzy thoughts at the mention of its name. 

As American newspapers racket up the charge for subscriptions and more people are inspired to seek out news elsewhere, I very much hope (for every one's sake) that more Americans are able to see and understand how culpable and wrong our elected leaders have been to worship at the altar of [AIPAC] the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Sincerely,

Anne Selden Annab 

Mechanicsburg
