| WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER |
Self defense? Israel commits genocide claiming it is "self defense",
and now America is bombing Yemen claiming "self defense."
This is more like selfish defense of villainous politics, greedy
business practices, plus the West's insidiously racist attitudes towards
Arabs and Muslims.
You already loudly endorsed war and escalating violence by providing Israel with money and weapons to a bomb a basically unarmed Arab population that has been cruelly imprisoned and tormented by racist Israeli laws and apartheid walls for the past 75 years...
When a big weaponized bully beats up a small relatively defenseless being, that is not self defense, that is being a big weaponized bully.
Violence is only the feel good answer in movies & on TV- not in real life.
Self defense for America in these troubled times has to be upholding the rule of fair and just laws & policies based on full respect for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and international law. That would mean respecting South Africa for stepping up to use a court of Justice to hopefully help stop Israeli violence against Palestinians.
People worldwide are not as stupid as American politicians seem to think: Legislation that refuses visas for Israelis who wreck havoc in the illegally occupied West Bank might look good on paper- but Palestinians and Israelis both know that most of those Israeli settlers are U.S. citizens who don't need a visa as they have U.S. passports. Palestinians live for decades with statelessness while Jewish Americans get full rights, full citizenship, and good employment opportunists in two countries. That is just plain wrong.
So is being a big weaponized bully.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
