| "It's very important that we know all the facts. The facts set us free. The facts help us make the right decisions. Also, the truth is the basis of justice, [so] we must always seek the truth. The enemies of truth do not seek justice. And I always ask: who is afraid of the truth? Only the criminal is afraid of the truth. Only the criminal wants to hide that." Dr. Salman Abu Sitta | 
Families flee after new Israeli evacuation orders in Gaza- 90% of Gaza is now under Israeli evacuation orders... & the U.S. continues to send tons of military equipment and $$$ to Israel.
The
 Christian plea "Hear
 Our Prayer" echoes in my head, and it breaks my heart that American 
leadership continues to be so horribly lead astray by our cruel "friend"
 Israel as Israel continues to blatantly violate international law, all 
borders, and the basic human rights of 
the native non-Jewish men, women, and children of the Middle East. 
  
Palestinian educator & historian, Salman Abu Sitta (born in 1937) recalls
 how decades ago he witnessed Zionists ethnically cleanse his village of
 Al Ma’in during the 1948 Nakba. He vowed to dedicate his life to 
creating an archive of each and every Palestinian village.  https://www.plands.org/en/maps-atlases
  
World famous Palestinian poet, Mahmoud Darwish 1941-2008, wrote many haunting poems explaining the very real plight and suffering of the Palestinian people. https://poets.org/poet/mahmoud-darwish
Concerned
 doctors, aid workers, educators, reporters and citizens currently 
live-stream Israeli violence and cruelty in Gaza, as well as Israeli 
settler violence in the West Bank, day after day after day.   
  
In a post Holocaust world, a world with international law and clear calls against bigotry and injustice we should not 
be arming, funding, or excusing the barbaric Zionist quest to harass, 
oppress, impoverish, and displace Palestinian men, women, and children. 
       
  
Israel
 needles and needles- wanting HAMAS, Hezbollah, Islamist militancy, and 
other such misguided groups to flourish, so that Israel can spin the 
story to raise more funds, getting more sympathy and support for 
escalating war and injustice. 
  
JUST SAY NO. 
  
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
NOTES https://anniesnewletters.blogspot.com/search/label/Notes
Because of Us... poem by Emily Berry + Democracy Now "As the WHO warns Gaza’s hospitals are becoming cemeteries, it’s time to heed the poets and the doctors, stop the killing, end the occupation, and dress the open wounds of war."
Susan Muaddi Darraj: Palestinian Americans learned from the best... "I, Too" poem by Langton Hughes [written in 1926]
Don't Feed The Trolls
The speech that Georgia State Rep. Ruwa Romman, a Palestinian American and Democrat, had hoped to give America at the DNC 2024
CNN: Children are drinking from puddles and wading through sewage pools, as Israel pummels water systems in Gaza
A Palestinian American’s Place Under the Democrats’ Big Tent? By Ta-Nehisi Coates in Vanity Fair
"The
 way they talk about the Palestinians “finally realizing their dream” of
 dignity and self-determination like they haven’t spent years and 
billions of dollars obstructing that dream, like all we need is a TED 
talk on goal-setting and time management" Susan Muaddi Darraj 
Dear America- Israel can not be trusted, and should not be subsidized
Germany's Berlin police raided and shut down a pro-Palestine event organised by a Jewish group in April 2024
Arwa Mahdawi: This war [on Palestine] isn’t just being waged with bombs, it’s being waged with “euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness” When you lay out what is happening in clear language, it is indefensible. So political language dresses all those dead and starving children up in euphemism.
CSM: ‘Waiting to see if I will survive’: A Gaza reporter caught in the war she’s covering ..."We no longer even bother to ask where humanity has gone."
An engineered genocide... Israel's genocide in Gaza isn't just about brutal mass murder, it's also about deliberately creating "conditions calculated to bring about the destruction of the population"
Send an honorable message far and wide- we believe in freedom of and from religion... and we believe in real justice, peace, and security for ALL !
A Guardian report reveals that there are 60,000 Americans living in illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank, as well as some 23,400 Americans serving in the Israeli army.
Accusing peaceful pro-Palestine protesters of being "antisemitic" pleases Israel but it does not make any Jews any safer anywhere.
"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..." https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights
