The White House
Dear President Trump,
I agree that it is very important to stop racism, and hopefully part of that is in remembering the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust.
BUT I do not agree with your statement on the National Day of Remembrance ofthe 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz, 2025 that "To this day, the Jewish people proudly represent the peak of human tenacity and the pinnacle of human triumph." Nor do I agree with your misguided support of Israel which claims to be The Jewish State.
I firmly believe religion should be a personal, private choice, not a state funded project.
Israel's discriminatory laws and refusal to fully respect the Palestinians' basic human rights, including but not limited to every refugee’s inalienable right to return to original homes and lands has created Apartheid in the Holy Land, and a HUGE refugee crisis. There is nothing to admire about that, and there is no triumph in the IDF terrorizing and killing Palestinian women and children.
Our mainstream media acts more like a propaganda arm of the Israeli government than a free press or a Fourth Estate, and I am starting to suspect that every politician has his Zionist keepers that keep him in line with Zionist spin.
True democracy with real freedom and justice depends on true equality. America is still working towards that, but at least we are trying. Israel is not. Yes, there are some very admirable Jewish individuals, but most of them live in the West, not in Israel.
Frankly every Holocaust Museum on earth should have a wing added explaining the very real plight and suffering of the native non-Jewish Palestinians. 75 years and counting...
NEVER AGAIN has to be inclusive, or else it is totally meaningless.
International law is worth keeping, and so is UNWRA as long as the Palestinian refugees need it.
America's veto should be used for the universal good, not to pardon a foreign country's crimes against humanity.
Sincerely,

CIVILIANS & their homes MUST BE PROTECTED
International Holocaust Remembrance Day
America should not help Israel commit crimes against humanity.
Israeli Settlers threw molotov cocktails and rocks, breaking windows and setting several houses and cars on fire in each place they targeted in protest at the release of 90 Palestinian women and children held in Israeli jails in exchange for three Israeli hostages held in Gaza.
"Since the war in Gaza began, settler violence has intensified further, displacing entire villages for the first time. On many occasions, the Israeli army has been documented failing to stop settler attacks, or even joining in."
"“We can’t even cross the road to our olive trees now or they’ll shoot at us,” he said of the settlers. “This is our land, and our houses, but they want us to leave for good.”"
‘A constant state of panic’: how war in Gaza triggered new wave of depression and insomnia among Palestinian refugees from 1967 war The stress of seeing the destruction of their homeland sent rates of mental illness soaring in Jordan’s Jerash camp – and the ceasefire has brought scant relie
Poet Mosab Abu Toha's January 22, 2025 Statement on the destruction of the Edward Said Public Library in Gaza
Dear America- letter sent to my elected leaders: Please understand that our friend Israel already is a one state "solution" that has been oppressing and intentionally displacing the native non-Jewish Palestinians for decades now.
Unrwa may be forced to stop saving lives in Gaza. Will the world let that happen? Outrage over Israel’s attempt to dismantle our UN agency has largely petered out. The stakes are very high now Opinion piece by Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner-General
CSM ‘Cold is death.’ For Gazans in flimsy tents, a winter of sorrow and loss.
Human Rights Watch joins with nearly 90 other organizations in a letter opposing US sanctions against the International Criminal Court. It would be a terrible irony if a tool designed to penalize violators of human rights could instead contribute to their impunity.
"The U.S. provided $17.9 billion in military aid to Israel from October 2023 to October 2024, a substantial increase from the already $3.8 billion in military aid the U.S. gives Israel annually. "
The best idea is to start with full support for fair and just laws based on full respect for basic human rights.
The United Nations & The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Always, no matter what.... Even Wars Have Rules
"If the U.S. had held Israel accountable for the killing of other Americans like Rachel Corrie or Shireen Abu Akleh, perhaps Israeli soldiers would not feel so emboldened to kill Americans, and other civilians, today." Hamad Ali in The Hill 12/14/24
Dear America- Israel and its propagandists claim it is all about self-defense, but Israel is and has been the aggressor and the rule breaker.
Dear Elected Officials- Stop poisoning the land, and undermining international law.
