Are we a nation that sincerely respects real democracy with the rule of fair and just laws honoring all basic human rights and international laws...

PALESTINE REMEMBERED
Dear President Biden (...etc.)

It is absolutely diabolical and unjust to withdraw funding from UNWRA based on Israel accusing several UNRWA employees of allegedly taking part in the ghastly October 7th attacks on Israel.  

Nothing can justify intentionally starving and tormenting an entire targeted population... or terrorism of any type, including state sponsored terrorism.  

Please do not help Israel starve yet another generation of trapped & traumatized refugees based on a rumor started by a nation at war with all of Palestine and Palestinians, a nation that clearly wants both Palestinians and UNWRA gone... a nation that wants the land, but not the native non-Jewish population of that land.

Tens of thousands of Palestine refugees who lost their homes and livelihoods due to the 1948 founding of Zionist Israel continue to be displaced and in need of support, nearly 75 years on. 

Jewish refugees from all over Europe have benefited from international law including but not limited to the inalienable natural and legal right to return to original homes and lands since the devastation of WWII.   However, tragically for all, Israel spent its history demonizing and refusing to respect the Palestinian refugees' inalienable natural and legal right to return to original homes and lands.

No one should be discriminated against due to their supposed race or religion.  Nor should leadership of any type be leading their followers into injustice, hate, violence, and war against "others." 

The world is watching: Are we a nation that sincerely respects real democracy with the rule of fair and just laws honoring all basic human rights and international laws, or are we a nation of wage slaves for Israel's war on "others"

Sincerely,

Anne Selden Annab

NOTES

UNWRA's Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini: "I have taken the decision to immediately terminate the contracts of these staff members and launch an investigation in order to establish the truth without delay.  Any UNRWA employee who was involved in acts of terror will be held accountable, including through criminal prosecution.

UNRWA reiterates its condemnation in the strongest possible terms of the abhorrent attacks of 7 October and calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all Israeli hostages and their safe return to their families" https://www.unrwa.org/newsroom/official-statements/serious-allegations-against-unrwa-staff-gaza-strip

I have hope

Responses to genocide are often determined by where the crime is committed, and what the victims look like...  How can so many in the West so easily ignore genocide?

Violence is the feel good answer in movies & on TV- not in real life.

The human cost and the environmental cost of war in the Middle East is horrifying, and yet America's mainstream newspapers, TV news, and politicians itch to have more & more war, investing in Israeli violence at every turn.
