| Postcard from If Americans Knew |
Dear America,
There is something we can do right now TODAY to end the violence and suffering in The Holy Land- STOP ARMING ISRAEL.
Israel freely violates all borders and international law and human rights over and over and over.
Israel and its propagandists claim it is all about self-defense,
but Israel is and has been the aggressor and the rule breaker.
Please do not send Americans in to learn anything about security or police work in Israel, for Israel wants our money but scorns our ideals of real justice, freedom, equality, and democracy.
Do not trust Israel. Time and time again, for decades now,
Israel has cruelly persecuted and impoverished the native
non-Jewish men, women and children of historic Palestine.
Please stop funding, fueling and exasperating racist Israel's
cruel crimes against humanity.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
