Dear America, Please Help Stop Institutionalized Bigotry & Injustice

"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
Dear America,

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

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.
