Silence is Complicity... and silence turns voters off, ensuring that Democracy dies in the darkness.

Protest Sign 2024
Dear Elected Leaders (Biden, Harris,...etc)

We live in a post Nazi-Holocaust world where international law and universal basic human rights are supposed to be respected.  You can not compare what is going on today with the world before WWII, when racism and pseudoscience reigned supreme.

Countless popular books, plays, museums, and movies currently show details of Jewish suffering way back then, but when it was happening few knew. 

Today's world has the potential to be fully connected and informed as photos, videos, fact-sheets, stories, & poems clearly show Palestine suffering NOW... RIGHT NOW crimes against humanity are being committed by Israel and in response (horror of horrors) America sends more weapons to Israel.

Meanwhile as the IDF bombs Gaza killing children and destroying homes and refugee camps, Israel's powers that be elect to dismiss and destroy UNWRA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. 

Did you know that Not ONE DROP OF WATER entered #Jabalia, #BeitLahia & #BeitHanoun since 1 October... thanks to Israel.

If I write the word Apartheid or Genocide minds shut, refusing to believe our friend, Israel, is that bad. After all we have prayers and hymns singing Israel's praises. Never mind that those were written long before modern man made Israel existed.

But Israel is that bad.

UNWRA is good- UNWRA plays a critical role in providing protection, shelter, food, water, and medical care to millions of Palestinian refugees in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria.  Not in Israel, but Israel is itching for excuses to further persecute and destroy the native non-Jewish people of historic Palestine.

Israel already targets journalists and medics and UNWRA in order to torment and kill- and get away with it. 

Silence is Complicity... and silence turns voters off, ensuring that Democracy dies in the darkness.

Sincerely,

Anne Selden Annab

UN News Global perspective Human stories: Israeli Knesset vote on UNRWA set to deepen Palestinian suffering

The rights of Palestine Refugees exist separate to UNRWA, including the right of return, which was set out in resolution 194, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1948, and predates the creation of UNRWA in 1949. Besides the right to return, the right to family unity and the right to reparations would also remain in UNRWA’s absence, as would the refugee camps of Gaza and the West Bank.

UNRWA was created by the UN Member States. Today’s decision by the Israeli parliament barring UNRWA from its life-saving and health-protecting work on behalf of millions of Palestinians will have devastating consequences.

All the way back to 1948...

US professors face discipline and investigations over Palestine support: Universities such as Columbia and Princeton punish educators for posts and comments criticizing war in Gaza

United Nations: “Either the world ashamedly fails those who so desperately need help, or we stand united & put a stop to this.” Warning that darkest moment of Gaza war is unfolding, @UNHumanRights chief @volker_turk calls for an end to carnage & release of hostages.

The Guardian: ‘Anticipatory obedience’: newspapers’ refusal to endorse shines light on billionaire owners’ motives

Chris Hedges: Israel’s War on Journalism... "Israel spins out its lies and fabrications, from Hamas using Palestinians as human shields, to mass rape and beheaded babies, to a captive press that slavishly amplifies them. By the time the lies are exposed, often weeks or months later, the media cycle has moved on and few notice."

ELECTIONS: Our tax money should go to the people's needs- not war mongering and weapons manufacturing for foreign countries that use bigotry and injustice to determine who gets security and who gets their home demolished.

Dear America- We are in this collectively- no exceptions... Stop the hate- and the pollution of war.

Dear America- Don't let Israel drive a wedge between you and the truth.

Dear America, Please Help Stop Institutionalized Bigotry & Injustice

Dear America- Israel can not be trusted, and should not be subsidized

Accusing peaceful pro-Palestine protesters of being "antisemitic" pleases Israel but it does not make any Jews any safer anywhere.

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 !
