Dear President Biden (etc) What Others See

Israel's Apartheid Wall in Palestine


Dear President Biden (etc)

In the Middle East and beyond Arabs & Muslims etc get a steady stream of Israeli violence live streamed from Gaza, while here in the West we get polished up Zionist propaganda aimed at keeping American money & weapons flowing into Zionist hands.

The international court of justice recently ordered Israel to prevent acts of genocide by its troops in Gaza, and to allow more aid into the besieged territory. 

In the Middle East and beyond they find a huge glimmer of hope in South Africa using a court of law to try to stop Israeli violence & allow aid into Gaza. 

BUT here in the misguided West our elected leaders are inspired by the ICJ ruling to cut funding from international law & the main charity for Palestine refugees, UNWRA, that feeds Palestinian refugees trapped in Gaza as well as in all the many more refugee camps crowded with Palestinian families forced from their original homes & lands by Zionist soldiers and politicians since 1948. 

In the Middle East and beyond they ask why Israel is allowed to "defend" itself, but Arabs and Muslims are not allowed to do so. 

In the West our own homegrown terrorists are seen as separate individuals with life stories that might explain what went wrong, while we are told that Arab terrorism in the Middle East is SPONSORED BY IRAN.  Seriously, is Western intelligence so racist that we can not conceive of Arab individuals and groups being bright enough to think their own thoughts, draw their own conclusions, and then decide on their own to hate America due to our total lack of interest and empathy for the very real plight and suffering of the people of historic Palestine.

If we want to stop escalating violence & war worldwide, we have to start with our own misguided support for Israeli Apartheid in the Holy Land.

Sincerely,

Anne Selden Annab
