Dear America- 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.

Gaza April 7th 2025: Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza is named in honor of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, who journeyed through Gaza during their flight to Egypt.

Dear America

Would you build a fence deep within your neighbors yard? 

Would you establish "KILL ZONES" to target and destroy others, including children?

Do you endorse bombing men, women, and children living in refugee camps- then bombing the roads, schools, hospitals and the flimsy tents of refugees who have been displaced multiple times?

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.

Israel (established in 1948) is in the wrong.  Zionism (established in 1897) is in the wrong.  HAMAS (established in 1987) is in the wrong too, but HAMAS only exists because of a century of Zionism's never ending crimes against the native non-Jewish people of historic Palestine.  

Both Israel and HAMAS hold political prisoners- ALL should be freed!

Terrorism of all types is wrong, and so is racist hate and segregation. The United Nations (established in 1945) and The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (established in 1948) are in the right- and remain the very best hope for all of humanity.

President Trump wants to further displace Palestinians out of Gaza.  How about welcoming home Jewish Israelis instead, welcome them home to real democracy with equal rights and respect for all people: 

Religion must be a personal private choice, not a state sponsored project armed with bribes, lethal weaponry, and misleading propaganda aimed at perpetuating conflict and injustice.

Sincerely,

Anne Selden Annab

Israel’s military razed huge swathes of land inside the perimeter of Gaza and ordered troops to turn the area into a “kill zone” where anybody who entered was a target, according to testimony by soldiers who carried out the plan.

Israeli combatants said they were ordered to destroy homes, factories and farmland roughly 1km (0.6 miles) inside the perimeter of Gaza to make a “buffer zone”, with one describing the area as looking like Hiroshima.

The testimonies are some of the first accounts by Israeli soldiers to be published since the latest war started in October 2023 after Hamas’s attack on Israel. They were collected by Breaking the Silence, a group founded in 2004 by Israeli veterans who aim to expose the reality of the military’s grip over Palestinians. The Guardian interviewed four of the soldiers who corroborated the accounts.

Titled “The Perimeter” and published on Monday, the report said the stated purpose of the plan was to create a thick strip of land that provided a clear line of sight for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to identify and kill...

Graphic images. Distressing footage. Blurred-out posts that only clicking a consent button will reveal. For a year and a half now, disclaimers have hung over what the world sees from Gaza. Sometimes, the scenes stop me in my tracks as they are suddenly recalled, like a nightmare forgotten but then vividly remembered. Except without the relief that it was all a dream. Last week, I watched footage that showed what appeared to be the shattered, headless corpse of a baby. I have seen shredded body parts collected in plastic bags. Heard the screams of the dying and the silence of the dead, as cameras capture them piled together, some in entire families. Israel’s assault on Gaza defies inurement. As time goes by, even as the threshold for what is seen as intolerable increases, the graphic and varied forms of killing continue to scale the hurdle of numbness.

All the while, politics does one of two things. Either it smoothes over this historic calamity, resorting to the bland language of encouragements to return to the negotiating table, as if it were all some regrettable falling-out that could be resolved if only heads cooled a little, or the calamity is reversed. Calling for it to stop, rather than being the most natural of human instincts, is now an impulse that in some countries meets the bar of arrest or removal. This narrative renders the people of Gaza, so ever-present on our screens and timelines in their daily massacre, distant and remote. Gaza has been deported to another dimension in which no rules apply. Geographically it has been sealed off and wrenched away from the Earth. Foreign journalists and politicians are not allowed in. Local journalists are killed. Foreign aid is blocked. Local relief workers are murdered. International courts and human rights organisations speak with one voice about the criminality of what is occurring. They are summarily ignored or attacked by Israel’s sponsors....

The recent killings of 15 medical personnel and humanitarian aid workers in #Gaza raise further concerns over the commission of war crimes by the Israeli military,

@UNHumanRights

chief

@Volker_Turk

told the UN Security Council this week. https://buff.ly/NadBPzA

 

UN rights chief warns of increasing risk of atrocity crimes in Gaza

Call for investigation

Mr. Türk said he was appalled by the killing of the medical and humanitarian personnel. 

“There must be an independent, prompt and thorough investigation into the killings, and those responsible for any violation of international law must be held to account,” he said.

He highlighted that there is nowhere safe to go in Gaza amid ongoing bombardment. Furthermore, half of the territory is now under mandatory evacuation orders or has been declared a no-go zone.

At the same time, Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups continue to launch indiscriminate rockets from Gaza into Israel, in breach of international humanitarian law. 

“I am also deeply concerned about the fate and well-being of Israeli hostages still held in Gaza,” he said.

Humanitarian aid blockade

Meanwhile, a month has passed since Israel imposed a complete blockade on vital humanitarian aid and supplies entering Gaza, including food, water, electricity, fuel and medicines. 

“The blockade and siege imposed on Gaza amount to collective punishment and may also amount to the use of starvation as a method of war,” he said.

The UN rights chief was alarmed by the inflammatory rhetoric by senior Israeli officials around seizing, annexing and dividing territory, and about transferring Palestinians outside Gaza.

“This raises grave concerns about the commission of international crimes and runs counter to the fundamental principle of international law against the acquisition of territory by force,” he said.

West Bank violence

Mr. Türk also addressed the “extremely alarming” situation in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, where Israeli operations have killed hundreds, destroyed entire refugee camps and displaced over 40,000 Palestinians.

“Illegal settlement expansion continues unabated as some Israeli ministers advocate for Israeli sovereignty in the occupied territory,” he added.

The High Commissioner urged the immediate restoration of the ceasefire and unimpeded humanitarian access throughout Gaza.

He stressed that “nothing can justify the horrific attacks committed against Israeli communities on 7 October 2023. And nothing can justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.”

High risk of atrocity crimes 

More than 50,400 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed, and more than 114,000 others injured, since the beginning of the war, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. 

Mr. Türk warned that there is a high and increasing risk that atrocity crimes are being committed in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. 

He recalled that under the Geneva Conventions, States are obligated to act when a serious violation of international humanitarian law is committed.   

Furthermore, States party to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide have a responsibility to act when the risk becomes apparent. 

“I urge all those with influence to ensure the protection of civilians as a matter of absolute priority,” he said. 

No military solution 

The High Commissioner stressed the need to ensure full accountability for all violations, and to release all hostages immediately and unconditionally, as well as all those arbitrarily detained. 

“Israel must refrain from any acts amounting to forcible transfer of Gaza’s population,” he stated. 

Mr. Türk said the last 18 months of violence have made abundantly clear that there is no military path out of the crisis. 

The only way forward is a political settlement, based on two states living side by side in equal dignity and rights, in line with UN resolutions and international law, he concluded.   https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/04/1161851

Statement by heads of OCHA, UNICEF, UNOPS, UNRWA, WFP and WHO

7 April 2025

For over a month, no commercial or humanitarian supplies have entered Gaza. 

More than 2.1 million people are trapped, bombed and starved again, while, at crossing points, food, medicine, fuel and shelter supplies are piling up, and vital equipment is stuck. 

Over 1,000 children have reportedly been killed or injured  in just the first week after the breakdown of the ceasefire, the highest one-week death toll among children in Gaza in the past year.

Just a few days ago, the 25 bakeries supported by the World Food Programme during the ceasefire had to close due to flour and cooking gas shortages.

The partially functional health system is overwhelmed. Essential medical and trauma supplies are rapidly running out, threatening to reverse hard-won progress in keeping the health system operational.

The latest ceasefire allowed us to achieve in 60 days what bombs, obstruction and lootings prevented us from doing in 470 days of war: life-saving supplies reaching nearly every part of Gaza.

While this offered a short respite, assertions that there is now enough food to feed all Palestinians in Gaza are far from the reality on the ground, and commodities are running extremely low.

We are witnessing acts of war in Gaza that show an utter disregard for human life.

New Israeli displacement orders have forced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee yet again, with no safe place to go. 

No one is safe. At least 408 humanitarian workers, including over 280 from UNRWA, have been killed since October 2023.

With the tightened Israeli blockade on Gaza now in its second month, we appeal to world leaders to act – firmly, urgently and decisively – to ensure the basic principles of international humanitarian law are upheld. 

Protect civilians. Facilitate aid. Release hostages. Renew a ceasefire.

@UNLazzarini

Harrowing. At least 100 children are reported killed or injured every day in #Gaza, since the strikes resumed (on 18 March) according to @UNICEF 

 

Young lives cut short in a war not of children’s making. Since the war began 1.5 years ago, 15,000 children were reportedly killed.

 

The ceasefire at the beginning of the year gave Gaza’s children a chance to survive & be children. 

 

The resumption of the war is again robbing them of their childhood.  The war has turned Gaza into a “no land” for children. 

 

This is a stain on our common humanity. 

 

Nothing justifies the killing of children wherever they are. 

 

Resume the #ceasefirenow

 

UNICEF continues to call on parties to cease hostilities and reinstate the ceasefire. Humanitarian aid and commercial goods must be allowed to enter and be transported across the Gaza Strip. Sick and injured children must be evacuated for medical care. Civilians, including children and humanitarian workers, and the remaining essential infrastructure must be protected, and the hostages must be released.  

UNICEF also urges states with influence to use their leverage to stop the conflict and ensure respect for international law, including that children are protected. The world must not stand by and allow the killing and suffering of children to continue.

At least 322 children reportedly killed in the Gaza Strip following breakdown of ceasefire

NEW YORK/AMMAN, 31 March 2025 – The breakdown of the ceasefire and resumption of intense bombardments and ground operations in the Gaza Strip has reportedly left at least 322 children dead and 609 injured – constituting a daily average of around 100 children killed or maimed over the past 10 days. Most of these children were displaced, sheltering in makeshift tents or damaged homes. These figures include children who were reportedly killed or injured when the surgical department of Al Nasser Hospital, in southern Gaza, was struck in an attack on 23 March.

The resurgence of relentless and indiscriminate bombardments, combined with the complete block on supplies entering the Gaza Strip for more than three weeks, has put the humanitarian response under severe strain and Gaza’s civilians – especially its one million children – at grave risk. 

“The ceasefire in Gaza provided a desperately needed lifeline for Gaza’s children and hope for a path to recovery,” said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell. “But children have again been plunged into a cycle of deadly violence and deprivation. All parties must adhere to their obligations under international humanitarian law to protect children.”  

After nearly 18 months of war, more than 15,000 children have reportedly been killed, over 34,000 reportedly injured, and nearly one million children repeatedly displaced and deprived of their right to basic services. 

With no aid allowed into the Gaza Strip since 2 March – representing the longest period of aid blockage since the start of the war – food, safe water, shelter, and medical care have become increasingly scarce. Without these essential supplies, malnutrition, diseases and other preventable conditions will likely surge, leading to an increase in preventable child deaths....

It's really like this...

Dear America- Taxpayers' money should not be shoring up greed, corporate corruption, injustice, and war.

 Dear America- letter I just sent to my elected officials,

Taxpayers' money should not be shoring up greed, corporate corruption, injustice, and war.

The rule of fair and just laws is crucial, for everyone's sake.

So please stop endorsing, empowering, protecting, and arming Israel's flagrant violations of international law and UNIVERSAL human rights.

UNIVERSAL is a key concept.  It is Golden Rule logic- based on treating people the way you want to be treated.

The United Nations (founded after the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust) is also a key concept and the only definite hope for creating true peace and security for all of humanity.  That is good business. War is not.

Israeli violence and Zionist cruelty are escalating. So is HAMAS stupidity. Arming religion with lethal weaponry and excuses to kill or kidnap or displace others is a very VERY bad idea. BAD when Israel does it, and BAD when HAMAS does it.  BAD when America does it too.

Bigotry is a bully tactic that makes the world a very ugly place.

Meanwhile individual people worldwide are a diverse mix of good, bad, and indifferent, regardless of what their passport or ID card might say.  

Look for the good and empower peace with justice, not bombs or bigotry. 

Empower a just and lasting peace with full respect for Universal Human Rights and the rule of fair and just laws.

Sincerely,

Anne Selden Annab
