In 1948 Israel could have chosen to include all indigenous Arabs- Christian and Muslim- as part of the process to make a real democracy for all human beings, but Zionists did the opposite by creating a huge refugee crisis.

 

Old PHOTO: Palestine, 1948. Refugees [try to] return to their village after surrendering in the war against Israel. The conflict forced 85 percent of the Palestinian population living in what became Israel to leave their homes. Their right to return was writen into a U.N. resolution that year, but 65 years later this issue has yet to be resolved.

Dear President Biden,

It is villainous for American leadership to empower Israel's ongoing quest to ethnically cleanse the Holy Land from the river to the sea. 

Israel is a cruel war machine: We should not be arming and enabling Israel's violations of international law and basic human rights.

Every IDF soldier and Zionist settler is forced to look back knowing their crimes against humanity. They have to live with themselves either by feeling remorse & soul crushing guilt, OR by finding solace in a boundless DENIAL that what Israel has been doing to the native non-Jewish Palestinians is absolutely wicked and wrong. 

Denial is a major component of Israeli life and public relations as Zionists seek to gather funds and support from individuals and governments every where and in every way worldwide. Our Congress and our national newspapers are pawns for racist Israel as they foolishly foster monstrous misinformation provided by the nefarious agents of a foreign country.

I abhor HAMAS, but please start noticing that for the past 100 years Zionists have set the example of arming religion and using terrorism to gain land and political power. Israel wants HAMAS to thrive, to demonize and further undermine Palestinians' quest for real freedom, justice, and true democracy.

In 1948 Israel could have chosen to include all indigenous Arabs- Christian and Muslim- as part of the process to make a real democracy for all human beings, but Zionists did the opposite by creating a huge refugee crisis.

Air dropping food to the starving people trapped in Gaza while also arming Apartheid Israel with lethal weaponry, money AND a green light to further impoverish and displace Palestinian men, women and children is a PR stunt.  A more honorable and helpful way forward is to PLEASE RESTORE FUNDING TO UNWRA ...

& Please STOP FUNDING ISRAEL for everyone's sake.

Sincerely,

Anne Selden Annab

Where you stand matters

Every nation that has divested funding from UNWRA is complicit in the starvation of human beings... and the torture of children

Our beloved "friend" Israel has been actively oppressing, demonizing, impoverishing, and displacing the native non-Jewish people of historic Palestine and has been since 1948.
