Dear President Biden.. etc...
Anne Frank & the Holocaust have been expropriated, abused & misused for decades to build anti-Arab, anti-Muslim, Anti-Palestine, anti-Iran armies of hate here in America.
Israel bombing Iran's embassy in Syria was wrong & should have been firmly condemned with ironclad disgust, not greeted with ironclad support for Israel.
Your support for Israel as "Jewish" shows people worldwide that
arming religion with lethal weaponry is the best way to gain power:
Please stop fueling religious extremism & bigotry here, there and
everywhere.
Israel is in long term & flagrant violation of international law on multiple counts. Israel constantly seeks to control the narrative- the stories told in our newspapers and on our college campuses, to manipulate our elected leaders on all levels in order to gather up more money & weaponry for an endlessly cruel war on the native-non-Jewish people of the Middle East and beyond.
Many Israelis have multiple passports with citizenship & job opportunities in multiple sovereign nations. Helen Thomas, an amazing American hero to many, a trail blazer in journalism, was demonized in 2010 for daring to say that Jews should leave Israel to the Palestinians and return to "Europe, Russia and America". Was she really that wrong? Mileikowsky's family was from Russia, and he was a nobody in Philadelphia, but sure is a big fish in Israel as he bombs Gaza into ruin and rubble.
Israeli crusaders recently convinced our myopic Congress to stop funding UNWRA while
terrorized Palestinian children starve to death in that Israeli-created
concentration camp called Gaza.
I believe land grabbing Israel aims to destroy the United Nations- not just sabotaging
respect for every refugee's inalienable right to return, but also totally
crippling the rule of fair and just laws.
Universal basic human rights matter, and so does hope for a just and
lasting peace based on the ruby red slippers of the Right to Return to
original homes and lands.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab

1963 Martin Luther King Jr's I Have A Dream speech about equity for all still rings true: "Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children" https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/i-have-a-dream-speech
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
