Dear Elected Leaders... Happy 4th of July!

Dear Biden etc.,

Happy 4th of July! 

May this American celebration day marking the start of our freedom and independence help remind you of why America was founded, what our ideals are, and how best to empower real freedom, justice, and equality for ALL people, regardless of supposed race or religion.

Please ARM PEACE & JUSTICE worldwide with full respect for Universal Human Rights.

Empower fair and just laws... Curtail religious bigotry and violence... Start by stopping Israel.  Yes big money is to be made with the weapons industry, but you should not allow corporate lobbyists, propagandists, plus agents from foreign countries to bribe or bully you into arming and instigating more religious war and hate in the Middle East. 

America should be investing in jobs and infrastructures, including schools.  

We should be cleaning up, not polluting our planet with cruel foreign policies that destroy homes, farms, gardens, cities, refugees camps, and countless human beings.

America should be feeding the hungry and helping, not hurting children, our own and all "others"

Sincerely,

Anne Selden Annab

Report: Israel demolished 318 facilities + uprooted 10,000 olive trees in West Bank this year

Forced displacement is once again pushing people to look for safety where there is none in #Gaza Palestine

Twelve former Biden administration officials who resigned over policy on Israel and the Gaza war say the government’s actions have endangered US national security... The US is by far the biggest supplier of arms to Israel, having helped it build one of the most technologically sophisticated militaries in the world.

Before I Was A Gazan -poem by Naomi Shihab Nye

CNN: A group of US officials who publicly resigned over the Biden administration’s Gaza policy are banding together to support ongoing dissent and put pressure on the government to change course.

Why are America’s elite universities so afraid of this scholar’s paper? ... The Palestinian human rights lawyer Rabea Eghbariah's article was censored- disappeared... The Columbia Law Review website was temporarily shut down after it published a Palestinian human rights lawyer’s article proposing a new way to understand Palestinian life under Israeli rule

United Nations: More than 78 years ago, 50 nations came together to create a new organization for peace, prosperity & human rights.

Israel rescues 4 hostages today - headlines world wide celebrate this... meanwhile Palestinian prisoners- hostages of Israel- are being raped: Since the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory in 1967, more than 800,000 Palestinians [including children] have been detained under Israeli military orders in the occupied Palestinian territory

If Americans Knew

Political Prisoners in Israel/Palestine

103 Israelis are possibly being held prisoner by Palestinians, while 9,000 are currently imprisoned by Israel.

Gaza now has the largest population of child amputees in the world.

Don't give Israel the power to destroy the United Nations, the International Court of Justice, International Law, The Universal Declaration of Human Rights... and America.

The RED LINE happened way back in 1948 when Zionist terrorists murdered Palestinians, destroyed Palestinian homes and villages, and pushed countless Palestinians into poverty and forced exile.

Connect The Dots

Please stop aiding and abetting Israeli insanity. Full Stop.

Will our own democracy and established Fourth Estate survive the decades old insidious invasion of a very foreign country that pretends to be our friend, but really is no one's friend, including its own Apartheid building citizens?

Americans should not be helping racist Israel maim, wound and kill the children of Palestine.

Part of Israel's nefarious Ethnic Cleansing campaign is stealing the story- pressuring newspapers and politicians worldwide to favor "The Jewish State" above and beyond all else. Israel Uber Alis.

Arresting students and banning Tiktok will not stifle the truth about Israeli crimes against humanity.

There are enough weapons of war and destruction already on planet earth.

Stop wasting America's time and resources playing word games for racist Israel

Please no more funds, weaponry, and support for war mongering Israel

American taxpayers should not be forced to fund Israeli crimes against humanity

Hate is evil and leads to evil things. Please no more wars and weaponry for Israel.

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

Israeli forces demolish a building in Jerusalem on January 3, 2024 [Mostafa Alkharouf/Anadolu Agency

Israeli occupation forces demolished 318 facilities, distributed notices to demolish 359 others under the pretext that they do not have licences and uprooted 10,000 olive trees in the occupied West Bank during the first half of the year, a Palestinian body has revealed.

In a statement issued yesterday, the Wall and Settlement Resistance Authority said the Israeli occupation authorities have carried out 243 demolition operations in the first half of this year, during which they demolished 318 facilities in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, which affected 632 people, including 292 children and 199 women.

According to the statement, Israeli occupation forces have carried out 7,681 attacks against Palestinians, including 1,334 attacks carried out by illegal settlers, which killed seven Palestinians.

“The [Israeli] occupation authorities have reviewed a total of 83 structural plans for the expansion of settlements or the establishment of new settlements including 39 plans for settlements in the West Bank, and 44 plans for settlements in East Jerusalem,” it added.

The authority’s statement quoted its head, Muayyad Shaaban, as saying that “the reality of the West Bank lands, including Jerusalem, has actually entered a very sensitive stage.”

“The danger of what the occupation is doing these days is represented by the legislative and legal incubator, through which [Israel] the occupying state is striving to install measures with a strategic dimension, aiming to control and annex large areas of the Palestinian territories,” he added.

Forced displacement is once again pushing people to look for safety where there is none in #Gaza.   This was yesterday around Hamad City. After fleeing the area affected by the latest evacuation orders from the Israeli Authorities, families were setting up tents among the rubble.

The policies have further destabilised the region and “put a target on America’s back”, they say in a joint statement."

The Arabic word for God is “Allah” whether you are A CHRISTIAN or a MUSLIM ... Inshaa Allah

"I am Arab, also, a Palestinian Christian.

 

We also say, “Allahu Akbar” which is normally associated with the Muslim faith, we also say “Inshaa Allah”,

 

“Ma Shaa Allah” and 

 

“Alhamdulillah”,

 

this is simply because ARABIC is our spoken language.
