Dear America,
Tragedies abound here on planet earth, but at least we can try to make our world a better, more fair, just and secure place for more people.
I grieve for the young Israeli couple murdered in Washington DC this week, and I have been grieving and will continue to grieve for all the many Palestinian men, women, and children being tormented and killed- murdered by Israeli soldiers and settlers.
Scorn violence please, set the right example: Stop arming and supporting Israel as frankly Israel as it is today drives people crazy with its racist violence and injustice, and its genocidal destruction of Gaza.
Follow the lead of folks wiser and more educated and informed; folks
more aware of the crucial importance of diplomacy and the rule of fair
and just laws. Follow the lead of the United Nations- and UNWRA- and
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Stealing land is wrong. Destroying people's homes and livelihoods is cruel- and wrong. Starving children is wrong. Blocking vital aid from reaching families in need is wrong. Racist hate is evil and insane: Please stop fueling and funding racist Israeli crimes against humanity.
Jewish people, Muslim people, Christian People, Buddhist people,
Hindu people, Taoist people, Shinto people, Sikh people, Confucius
people, Fairy people, Agnostic people, Atheist people, pretty people,
ugly people, smart people, dumb people, ALL people need true equality
and respect.
Invest in goodness and the rule of fair and just laws, and invest in help for those in need. Invest in America and invest in peace- NOT ISRAEL.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab

The NAKBA... The Question of Palestine
YouTube Star Ms Rachel Sings with 3 Year Old Double Amputee From Gaza
The REAL Situation in Gaza My 30 Days of Coverage by Bisan of Gaza, Palestinian journalist, activist, and filmmaker, best known for social media videos documenting her experiences during the Gaza Genocide.
Mosab Abu Toha: Israel murdered an artist yesterday. Elham al-Boddi, 33, from Beit Lahia. Her husband was killed months ago.
UN Expert, Francesca Albanese, Urges Immediate End to Arms Sales to Israeli Occupation & UNRWA's Philippe Lazzarini Explains That Gaza’s Children Are Starving Under Deliberate and Brutal Blockade Imposed by Israeli Forces: This is not the result of a natural disaster or logistical failure,” he wrote on the X platform. “It is a man-made catastrophe, driven by clear political motives.”
"Yes, we reject what happened on October 7 and wish it had never happened. But we also reject the monstrous crimes being committed now against a defenseless people, trapped in a dirty war meant to crush their cause. Those who stay silent, who conspire, or who support the aggression on Gaza bear deep responsibility—for decades they failed to help free the Palestinian land and people from occupation, so that they too might live with dignity and freedom like the rest of the world.” Archbishop Atallah Hanna Friday, April 25, 2025
Born out of the ashes of the Second World War, the United Nations was the result of a global commitment to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.
A nation behind bars: Why has Israel imprisoned 10,000 Palestinians? ... For every Palestinian Israel freed in the ceasefire deal, it apprehended 15 more. The number of political prisoners in its jails has doubled since the war began.
A martyr is a person who is killed or made to suffer because of their religious or other beliefs ... Talented artist Deem Zurub [Dina Khaled Mohammed Zaarab] drew pictures of people who died in Gaza- MARTYRs who died in Israel's war against the indigenous people of Palestine. Deem Zurub, a Palestinian refugee living in a tent, was killed by Israeli airstrike April 14th, 2025
"At an exhibition in Amsterdam, a long poster lists the names of Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza. Standing before it is heartbreaking. Every loss hurts deeply." Samar Abu Elouf
Seder Plate [2006] poem by Susan Eisenberg
More than 2.1 million people are trapped in Gaza, they are starved and bombed and starved and bombed and bombed again and again and again. Men, women and children are starving and dying, while at crossing points food, medicine, fuel, and shelter supplies are piling up .... The siege must be lifted, crossings must re-open for a steady flow of aid, and the #ceasefire must be renewed.
Gaza has the most child amputees in history... An estimated ten children are amputated every hour in Gaza, most without anaesthesia, sedation or even pain medication.
My more recent Letters
Racist times created hell on earth for "others" then, we really should know better now...
Dear America- Funding religious extremists and charlatans is a recipe for disaster.
Dear America- Please do not let this tragic situation became a reason for more people to be treated more unequally, with more Palestinians and Palestinian Americans being doxed, destroyed, and displaced.
Life is not a video game. These are real human beings and American made weaponry has been creating a Holocaust with The Rule of Lawlessness in the Holy Land.
Taxpayers' money should not be shoring up greed, corporate corruption, injustice, and war.
Please, let Golden Rule thinking and the rule of fair and just laws guide US all towards a better way forward.
State sponsored violence is not the way to convince vulnerable people to veer away from arming religious tyranny and terrorism.
Hate crimes are escalating here in America with people primed by to think, say and do horrible things...
Slavery, Segregation and Forced Displacement are wrong. Wrong then and wrong now
"Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world..." https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights
