Please don't be an idiot for Israel

From the rubble in Gaza Palestine
Dear Elected Leaders

Our Congress cares more about Israel than American ideals and has been foolishly pandering to a very foreign country, a heavily armed and dangerous nation that is intentionally tormenting and starving millions of human beings who have no freedom or justice in the land of their birth.

Targeting and displacing the native non-Jewish people of historic Palestine over and over and over again since 1948, modern man made Israel is an Apartheid nation built on segregation and injustice. It did not have to be this way- but it is.

It is heart breaking to wake up to realize that all the lovely old Christian prayers and hymns about Israel have been hijacked for racist Israel's religious tourism and the fund raising efforts of a morally corrupt backward nation state that wants the land but not the indigenous people of that land. 

Our newspapers, TV broadcasts, and commercials are full of Zionist propaganda pretending to be news and entertainment- toxic propaganda aimed at strengthening Israel and/or cutting all funds and support for the native non-Jewish men, women and children of historic Palestine.

America's Christian Zionists are volunteering to be soldiers for Israel, and too many American churches are either silent or fully supportive of racist Israel's cruel war on Palestinians.   

Americans who even tried to fund or join ISIS got arrested. So the message is clear. Judaism can and should be armed with lethal weaponry and a will to persecute & kill "others" but Islam can not. Do you really think that logic will prevent more religious extremism and murderous cruelty! 

Please don't be an idiot for Israel.  

Sincerely,

Anne Selden Annab

The Gaza famine is human-made. And the US is complicit in this catastrophe- Mohamad Bazzi

 Experts first warned of rising hunger in December – yet when Israel blocked a vital US food shipment, Biden did nothing

There is no moral argument that justifies the sale of weapons to Israel - Israel has shown it will use these arms indiscriminately against Palestinians. Why does the west continue to supply them?

by Mary Lawlor, the UN special rapporteur on human rights defenders

Gaza’s health crisis has its own dreadful momentum. Even if the shooting ends today and the aid trucks begin to roll, the dying will carry on for some time

Palestinian Christians Suffer—and Many American Churches Don’t Care ... Why do so many Western churches ignore us?

BBC News "Gaza has no functioning port, so a makeshift jetty stemming from the shoreline was built by WCK's team using rubble from [Israeli] destroyed buildings."

Mosab Abu Toha: After 14 hours of fasting, this is what families in Gaza are breaking their fast on. Some lemon and cooked grass.

Laila El-Haddad: A Cuisine Under Siege- I couldn’t rescue my aunt in Gaza, but I can keep her recipes alive.

Over 200 european organisations urge immediate suspension of the EU-Israel association agreement amidst Gaza crisis

What Israeli soldiers' display of Palestinian women's lingerie reveals about the Zionist psyche

Israel's no-state solution... Palestinian sovereignty has always been out of the question for Israel, as have equal rights under one binational state.

The European Union's top diplomat Josep Borrell has accused Israel of using the starvation of the people of Gaza as a means of warfare.

TikTok... Freedom, justice and equality are not empty words.

"Think of Others" Mahmoud Darwish of Palestine

Palestinian Poet Marwan Makhoul: "In order to write poetry that isn't politcal, I must listen to the birds; and in order to listen to the birds, the warplanes must be silent."

What Was Palestine Before the Nakba?

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.

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
