My letter to my elected officials: Hamas violence, Israeli violence, American violence, domestic violence- ALL are ALL WRONG & totally counter-productive.

Norman Rockwell's Golden Rule- United Nations
Dear Elected Leaders

Hamas violence, Israeli violence, American violence, domestic violence- ALL are ALL WRONG & totally counter-productive.

Do you want fair and just laws and policies to shape a better future for more people, or do you want to send the message that violence "wins?"

Winning with violence is a dangerous delusion. Those left to tell the tale write the story. That used to mean the side with the strongest army & the best weaponry including the most talented writers and extensive propaganda wins.  Not anymore. In today's world, with global communications witnesses see, share, and show the vile cruelty of war and home demolitions.

The Genie is out of the bottle as real human beings describe the murder of beloved family members, and the horrors of being forced into exile over and over again: The very real plight and suffering of the native non-Jewish Palestinian men, women and children is a crime against humanity, and has been since 1948 when racist Israel refused to respect the refugees right of return. Now racist Israel is hell-bent on the pulverization of Palestinian refugee camps. 

Racism and corruption are a bad way to shape our foreign policy & any government: Please stop arming, empowering, and excusing Israel.

Sincerely,

Anne Selden Annab

American homemaker & poet

Israel’s Christmas present to the tiny Baptist church in Gaza on the second Christmas Day is a tank shell that penetrated the building and damaged and destroyed the interior.

US Foreign Policy Is a Scam Built on Corruption

Displaced with his family, Sulieman Tarazi sought refuge at Saint Porphyries church, where he extended help to everyone around him. He was killed by Zionists Oct 19, 2023

250 Palestinians have been killed and 500 wounded in the past 24 hours. A holocaust is happening right before our eyes in Gaza, and world leaders refuse to stop it.

Invest Time & Money in American Ideals - NOT ISRAEL ... letter to my elected officials

"Where, after all, do universal human rights begin?

The UN Mediator for Palestine, Count Folke Bernadotte, believed that the Palestinians displaced had a right to return to their homes and wrote several UN reports to that effect.

"It would be an offence against the principles of elemental justice if these innocent victims of the conflict were denied the right to return to their homes while Jewish immigrants flow into Palestine, and, indeed, at least offer the threat of permanent replacement of the Arab refugees who have been rooted in the land for centuries."

Bernadotte was assassinated on Friday 17 September 1948 by members of the group Lehi, a Zionist terrorist organization, commonly known in the West as the Stern Gang

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world
