America has been unfairly siding with Jews-preferred Israel instead of standing up for the rule of fair and just laws- real security - and true democracy.
Israel aggressively persecutes and impoverishes the native non-Jewish people of historic Palestine over and over and over, for almost a century now, pushing Palestinian individuals and families into forced displacement and crowded refugee camps.
Meanwhile, here in America we frown on prayer in our public schools,
while at the same time our taxes, as well as charity donations,
generously fund Israel's religious "scholars" and schemes... American
politicians should not be legislating Israel's official taxpayer funded
religion, nor should our elected officials be helping racist Israel
maim, wound and kill the children of Palestine.
Holocaust
Remembrance & "Never Again" need to be for everyone's sake- a fully
inclusive plea, and a historically accurate call to remember all
who suffered and died in the Nazi Holocaust including blacks, gays,
disabled people, Poles, Roma
"Gypsies", and political prisoners, to name a few.
Furthermore "Never Again" has to be about firmly condemning ongoing crimes against humanity today, not just yesterday.
Israel's monstrous Apartheid Wall needs to fall.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab

Hind Rajab was six years old when she was killed in Gaza. So why did a CNN host refer to her as ‘a woman’?... "It’s not just CNN, of course. There is a long history (one that stretches back way before October 7) of mainstream media outlets dehumanizing Palestinians. "
'Our unwavering determination to return one day': Displaced Palestinians keep hold of keys to Gaza homes like their Nakba ancestors: Palestinians displaced by Israel's war on Gaza are holding on to keys from their damaged or destroyed houses as a symbol of one day returning to their homeland.

Arresting students and banning Tiktok will not stifle the truth about Israeli crimes against humanity.
FYI the Israel/Palestine conflict did not start on Oct 7th 2023. To be fair and honest you must go back to 1917 when the British Empire and Occupation promoted the Balfour Declaration to create a
Israel has failed to provide evidence of Unrwa staff terrorist links: report
Israel has dropped almost 75,000 bombs and shells on Gaza in 200 days, twenty times more than the US aimed at Iraq in six years of war. It’s not war. It’s genocide.
There are enough weapons of war and destruction already on planet earth.
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
