| Freedom, Justice, Equality |
America's freedom is a wonderful thing ! I am so proud of our
Founding Fathers & Mothers who talked & thought their way
towards and into the creation of our Declaration of Independence
and our Bill of Rights: Happy 4th of July!
I am also so very proud of all Americans who valiantly fought in
WWII to defeat Hitler and his horrible Nazi Holocaust. Racism was
wrong and evil then, and it is wrong and evil now as
Jews-preferred Israel cruelly persecutes, impoverishes, and
displaces indigenous Arab men, women and children all through out
the Holy Land.
Our so-called "friend" Israel uses
American money and weaponry to terrorize and kill Palestinians.
Furthermore Israeli forces attack journalists and deliberately cut off
electricity and telecommunications to prevent Israeli war crimes
being documented and exposed worldwide.
Israel is not defending itself, it is in the process of
intentionally tormenting Palestinian families and destroying Palestinian homes. Our own Trail of Tears, the ethnic cleansing and forced
displacement of approximately 60,000 indigenous First and Forever People of America between 1830-1850, was a huge and heinous
tragedy. We know better now, we live in a more aware world where
racism of any kind is known to be evil and wrong. At least we say
it is wrong- but here we are with our elected officials and far too
many of our our religious leaders plus our failing fourth estate
ignoring sovereign Israel's very real crimes against humanity and
the indigenous First and Forever People of historic Palestine.
Real Freedom, Democracy and Equality is an ongoing project here
in the USA, and we have a good foundation on which to build....
BUT not as long as our elected officials and religious leaders and our
failing fourth estate continue idolize and admire Zionist Israel,
a very foreign country that has no constitution and no respect for
the native non-Jewish Palestinians.
We should not be funding Israel's war on the indigenous First and Forever People of historic Palestine.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab

Nakba is an Arabic word meaning “catastrophe” and refers to Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestine, its exiling of Palestinians and making them into refugees, its dispossession of Palestinian property, its destruction of Palestinian cities, towns, and villages, and its attempt to erase the existence of the Palestinian people from its homeland in 1948. https://imeu.org/article/the-nakba-and-palestine-refugees-imeu-questions-and-answers
