Dear America, Our land and resources are being gobbled up for AI data centers for what purpose? Is it for the greater good of tax paying citizens- or is it to feed the greed of corporations and companies that already use our data to charge us as much as they can at every turn.

Pennsylvania Data Center Partners and PowerHouse Data Centers are planning a $15 billion data center campus in the Carlisle area, alongside the scenic Conodoguinet Creek, Central Pennsylvania

letter I just sent to my elected leaders- HAPPY NEW YEAR!  

Dear America,

Our land and resources are being gobbled up for AI data centers for what purpose?   Is it for the greater good of tax paying citizens- or is it to feed the greed of corporations and companies that already use our data to charge us as much as they can at every turn.

The game is being rigged to impoverish and destroy select individuals and families here, there, and soon everywhere. Fees now- maybe bulldozers later as those in power misuse their position for miserly motives- or vengeance against those they do not like... as in state sponsored racist hate or misogyny.

FYI Israel has been freely using AI to destroy the people of historic Palestine, in tandem with deploying propaganda to silence and systematically impoverish good and decent people who object to the blatant injustice and violence that Zionism inspires.   All Israel has to do is accuse an individual of being or supporting HAMAS and BAM another journalist is killed and more Palestinian homes are demolished AND more and more Palestinian land is usurped.  

All Israel has to do is posit disinformation accusing an aid group of harboring HAMAS and BAM aid funding is stopped- and Palestinian babies starve and freeze to death.  

Why are our Congress and our President so willing to be conned and manipulated by Israel?!!!

A human rights rules based order providing food and shelter for starving people is being destroyed because Israel wants the land- but not the native non-Jewish people of that land. 

The United Nations & Golden Rule thinking are being sabotaged intentionally, just as our own Congress and our Fourth Estate has been corrupted and crippled by a very foreign country that wants our money and weaponry- but not our ideals of real freedom, justice, and equality.

Keep in mind the fact that data center hardware will be obsolete in less than a decade- filling up and polluting our landfills.  Costing us more and more in many ways as the decades pass: A data center consumes enough power in a day to power a small city- think of all the pollution that will produce... all for what?!!!

All for AI and Israel- the most pervasive con jobs in our modern world.

We should be investing in people and diversity and jobs- real jobs- real justice- Golden Rule thinking and being... not war, injustice, Billionaire greed, and AI tricks

Sincerely,

Anne Selden Annab

"The deregistration of 37 INGOs undermines principled humanitarian action, endangers staff and communities, and compromises effective aid delivery." "Ensuring access to humanitarian aid is a legal obligation, not a discretionary choice.”

‘Data is control’: what we learned from a year investigating the Israeli military’s ties to big tech Our reporting revealed a symbiotic relationship between the IDF and Silicon Valley – with implications for the future of warfare By Noa Yachot

"On this new year, let’s resolve to get our priorities straight. A safer world begins by investing more in fighting poverty and less in fighting wars. Peace must prevail. It’s clear the world has the resources to lift lives, heal the planet, and secure a future of peace and justice.In 2026, I call on leaders everywhere: Get serious. Choose people and planet over pain. And I urge everyone who hears this message: Play your part. Our future depends on our collective courage to act. This new year, let’s rise together: For justice. For humanity. For peace. "

More rain. More human misery, despair and death. Harsh winter weather is compounding more than two years of suffering. People in Gaza are surviving in flimsy, waterlogged tents and among ruins. There is nothing inevitable about this. Aid supplies are not being allowed in at the scale required. Meanwhile, as the largest UN agency on the ground, #UNRWAworks to do what we can. We could multiply these efforts tomorrow if aid flowed in. — @UNLazzarini

Suddenly, a strong windstorm turns all the displaced persons sheltering here into tentless... Israeli occupation authorities must have [SHOULD HAVE] allowed the entry of 60,000 mobile homes in January, but they have allowed the entry of nothing. - Journalist Motasem A Dalloul

“I look forward to the day when there will be an investigation into the role of Western corporate media in this genocide. Because this is not just a genocide that has been overlooked. This is a genocide that has been justified and enabled by the media.” —Francesca Albanese

Israel must let UNRWA aid into Gaza ... UNRWA has food, shelter, medical and other essential supplies outside of Gaza - enough to reach hundreds of thousands of people facing the harsh winter. This aid has been blocked by Israeli Authorities since March. Refusing to let it in is a choice – one that deprives people inside Gaza of the means to survive and recover. UNRWA's 12,000 team members are working tirelessly inside Gaza... But letting the blocked aid in would enable them to multiply their operations massively.

1939, Iqrit, Palestine - At the time of their eviction in November 1948, Iqrit was home to 491 residents, the majority of whom 432 were Melkite (Greek Catholic) Christians living throughout the village, the remaining 59 Muslim inhabitants either rented homes in Iqrit or had built houses in the nearby area of esh-Shafaya. By 1948, the villagers collectively owned around 600 dunams (approximately 600,000 m²) of private land. Much of this area was covered with fig groves that served both the people of Iqrit and neighboring communities....

Bethlehem, Palestine today ... Christmas Day 2025... "The birthplace of Jesus - Bethlehem, [Palestine] 🇵🇸 - is walled off from the world by Israel, shrunk to less than 15% of its size by land grab & isolated from its twin city Jerusalem. Yet Christmas for Palestinians is a joyous national holiday of hope in justice. Merry Christmas to all." Nour Odeh

Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza City is named after Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. According to tradition, the Holy Family passed through Gaza during their flight into Egypt after the visit of the Magi, when Herod ordered the massacre of the innocents.

Merry Christmas from Times Square- from the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) which was founded in 1980 in response to stereotyping, defamation, and discrimination directed against Americans of Arab origin.

Christmas is not a Western story – it is a Palestinian one: Christmas is a story of empire, injustice and the vulnerability of ordinary people caught in its path.... "This Christmas, our invitation to the global church — and to Western Christians in particular — is to remember where the story began. To remember that Bethlehem is not a myth but a place where people still live. If the Christian world is to honour the meaning of Christmas, it must turn its gaze to Bethlehem — not the imagined one, but the real one, a town whose people today still cry out for justice, dignity and peace." Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac

Merry Christmas from Palestine- a message from Ambassador Dr. Husam Zomlot -Christmas 2025

Israel approves 19 new illegal settlements further limiting Palestinain movement and undermining the prospect of a two-state solution to end the Israel/Palestine conflict.

‘Treated as criminals’: Gaza fishermen risk everything at sea Facing starvation, Palestinians turn to the sea to feed their families, risking imprisonment or death

The only entirely Christian village of the West Bank is getting ready to celebrate the Lord's coming in an atmosphere halfway between the joy of the festivity and the fear of new attacks by Israeli colonists.

East Jerusalem: Israeli forces demolish a residential building consisting of 13 apartments belonging to Palestinians in the Silwan neighbourhood.... "As part of its efforts to expel Palestinians and carry out ethnic cleansing, Israel enforces a policy that disrupts every aspect of life for Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem and is designed to push them out of their homes and city. "

"In July, international agencies warned of the danger he was in as the Israel Defense Forces stepped up online attacks, falsely labelling him a Hamas terrorist." It was lethal to be in Gaza this year, and deadly for those who tried to tell the world

Preserving Palestinian culinary heritage... As a small pastry shop in Jerusalem, Zalatimo Sweets came to this world. Their journey started over a century ago, namely in Palestine in 1860. It all began with the "Mutabak" - a popular Arabian pastry.

Carrying the hope of Christmas ... the children of Palestine

“For over two years, a coordinated campaign to dismantle UNRWA has reached unseen levels, using disinformation as a weapon...” Philippe Lazzarini

Cold is not a natural disaster when shelter is denied- After destroying over 85% pf Gaza's homes, Israel is blocking the entry of caravans and reconstruction materials

"The Christ child still lies among the rubble, reminding us that God chose not safety, not power, not palaces—but vulnerability and solidarity with the crushed of the earth. And yet now, rising from that rubble, stands a tree - a living tree. For me, this is a profoundly Palestinian image—and a profoundly Christian one. The tree is declaration. It is the tree of life. It is defiance in the face of death. It is hope planted where despair is expected to rule. The tree appears almost as if it grows out of the rubble itself. Not beside it. Not after it is cleared away. But from within it. This is our story." Rev. Munther Isaac

Dallas church’s Nativity evokes immigration detention centers, homelessness: The Nativity scene asks passersby to consider what it would look like if Jesus’ birth took place today.

Dear America- Real freedom, justice, and democracy are being embezzled by corporate greed and political corruption to empower Israel and war.

"ISRAEL SAYS" is not God talking.

Israel has a right to exist, but Israel has no right to starve and displace the men, women and children of historic Palestine.

The vast majority of Americans are not wealthy & the taxes that We The People pay are being diverted into funding religious bigotry and terror via Israel's cruel war on the native non-Jewish men, women, and children of historic Palestine. HAMAS cruelty and stupidity echoes Zionist cruelty and stupidity and on and on it goes. Neither approach will build peace or security.

The weapons industry and a global war machine- AND INJUSTICE- burgeon with American tax payer funds.

Violence is a problem- not the answer.

STOP THE SIEGE- stop funding crazy cruel Israeli schemes & the forced displacement, imprisonment, starvation, torture, and killing of human beings in Gaza and Palestine
