Dear America- WE THE PEOPLE are being forced to fund weapons, escalating war, hate, and hypocrisy everywhere.

A popular 2026 WE CAN DO IT American MEME that honors all workers- including those who helped win World World II & end the Nazi Holocaust
Dear America,

Why are our elected leaders, influencers, institutions, and mainstream media so willing to empower (and/or hid) the injustice of Israel and the moral corruption of IDF troops and citizens? 

WAKE UP: Israelis are human beings being led farther and farther away from the rule of fair and just laws.  

Funding Israeli wars and illegal settlements in the occupied territories harms every aspect of civilization we are supposed to be protecting: Homes, families, farms, infrastructures, and jobs are all being destroyed by sovereign Israeli violence.

Refusing to respect Universal Human Rights since 1948, Israeli violence and injustice has most obviously aimed to displace and destroy the native non-Jewish men, women, and children of historic Palestine AND TO SILENCE DISSENT! 

Children are being tormented as they see their parents maimed, wounded and killed. Parents are traumatized as beloved children are killed.  How would you react in that situation?

PLEASE NOTE: Israeli hostilities do not stop at the borders of Palestine, it spills out through the world in many cruel ways.

Modern man-made Israel is an astronomically expensive arms race & Ponzi Scheme that enriches a few at the top while impoverishing and harming the vast majority of Americans in multiple ways:  WE THE PEOPLE are being forced to fund weapons, escalating war, hate, and hypocrisy everywhere.

AI and massive Data Centers are only making matters worse everywhere in every way.  AI is a bunch of empty promises made so that a handful of people can make more big money before the bubble pops- and people realize that human intelligence and real jobs are the best investment to help build a vibrant democratic society with a strong economy and honorable future.

What would Hitler have done with AI data centers... hmm just look at how we've been pushed to do all things online and realize how vulnerable we are to greedy tyrants, hate mongers, and hackers.

Sincerely,

Anne Selden Annab

"An incompetent and gullible Trump is plainly responsible for yielding to Israeli pressure and dragging the US into the latest war." The pro-Israel lobby has swayed US presidents since Truman. It must end with Trump

How much is your support for Israel worth? Try $1 billion [that we know of]... Israel is spending wads of cash on public diplomacy in a desperate attempt to reverse waning American support for the country after it stands accused of genocide in Gaza and pushing the U.S. into the Iran war.

For 2,000 years, Christians have called the Holy Land home. CNN’s Clarissa Ward travels from Jerusalem to the occupied West Bank to examine how Israeli ultranationalist extremism is reshaping that reality.

"People talk about post-traumatic stress, but for us, there is no post-era; the trauma is ongoing. Keeping our people safe in such a context is incredably difficlut, especially when you see your mother in pieces, your father under rubble, and your friends gone. Such experiences profoundly affect your brain and emotions, and we must help our people to be resilient in this harsh reality." -Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb of Palestine

Rights groups call for help stopping Israeli 'pogrom' against Palestinians in West Bank: B’Tselem and Rabbis for Human Rights among others urge action after four Palestinians are killed by settlers near Nablus

The number of registered orphans in the territory [GAZA, Palestine] has risen to 65,279, including 54,468 children who it said lost one or both parents during the war.

"Bombing the infrastructure people rely on will not make Iranians [or Palestinians] embrace those carrying out the attacks." .... ‘It’s truly hell here’: airstrikes, repression and water shortages become ‘new normal’ for Iranians

"At the very moment that the Israeli regime, with the support of the United States, is pursuing the dismantlement of UNRWA in violation of international law, there can be no accommodation of political projects designed to facilitate its replacement. UNRWA was established by General Assembly Resolution 302 because the international community failed to implement Palestinian refugees' rights under United Nations General Assembly Resolution 194. Its mandate therefore remains exclusively under the authority of the General Assembly until those rights—including return, restitution, compensation, and reparation—are fulfilled. It cannot be transferred, conditioned, or terminated through political arrangements." Statement by BADIL and GPRN “Dismantling UNRWA: “The Board of Peace” Agenda”

DEAR AMERICA

ICE and Israel should both be de-funded and de-fanged.

Jobs created by the weapons industry bring temporary economic relief to some- while inflicting immense pain and suffering on many many many more.

Pushing all commerce online to "Save A Tree" ends up decimating numerous forests and fields for energy and water hungry Data Centers. CEOs and our elected leaders take huge profits while taxpayers are left with escalating losses, including the surging loss of land and water for hyperscale Data Centers.

Anti-immigrant legislation and excessive funding for ICE are more about protecting wealthy people and corporations, who can hire illegals knowing that the workers and their families will be too afraid to complain about dangerous working conditions, low pay, long hours, and slum landlord housing.

You can't win a modern war. You can destroy homes & families, you can usurp land & resources from the rightful owners, and you can undermine & destroy a free press and the fourth estate- but people worldwide have memories, as well as a sense of right and wrong that cannot be bombed into oblivion.

STOP THE BOMBS and the bigotry, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop accepting bribes & propaganda & bad advice from a very foreign country that seeks to destroy support for UNIVERSAL human rights and the rule of fair and just laws.

Along the way we learned that slavery is wrong. We learned that domestic violence is wrong. We learned that racist hate is wrong. SO WHY are we funding Israel and why are we bombing Iran for Israel!!!

Violence is a problem- not the answer

"Attacks on critical infrastructure are not only about what is destroyed, but also about the people left without what they need to live. Even wars have limits and they must be respected." ICRC Red Cross

The power of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is the power of ideas to change the world. It inspires us to continue working to ensure all people can gain freedom, equality and dignity...

In 1945, 50 nations came together in San Francisco to create a new organization for peace, prosperity & human rights- the United Nations

"The United Nations is the only place on Earth where all the world's nations come together to discuss common problems and find shared solutions that benefit all of humanity. This intergovernmental organization born out of the ashes of the Second World War remains indispensable to the pursuit of world peace, justice, equality and sustainable development" https://www.un.org/en/

The right of refugees to return to homes and lands they were expelled from is an individual right and cannot be unilaterally abrogated by third parties.  https://imeu.org/resources/resources/fact-sheet-palestinian-refugees-the-right-of-return-under-international-law/441

Human Rights

Please, let Golden Rule thinking and the rule of fair and just laws guide US all towards a better way forward.

Dear America (letter I just sent to my elected leaders),

We want there to be a happy ending.

BUT private greed generating escalating job losses & cuts to schools, libraries and National Parks undermines happy for a whole lot of hard working good people and their children who deserve better than being wage slaves for the Billionaires Club.

Privatizing the Post Office so that American wage slaves sending Christmas cards can help create another privileged Billionaire Jet Setter who joins The Club by paying less than a living wage to many of their workers is just wrong.

Taxpayers' money should be bolstering crucial services including the Social Security system and Medicare. 

Furthermore State Sponsored Violence sends the message that Violence works: Funding weapons of war with taxpayers' hard earned money is counterproductive and only leads to escalating violence worldwide. 

Public funds should be for the public good.

Big Business and Government hiding the true cost of electronic anything shifts both pollution and a punitive burden onto the individual citizen in multiple ways. For instance precious farm land is gobbled up by data servers.  The individual citizen has to pay for online services, and the batteries & electricity necessary to be online. Meanwhile AI as well as Hackers, Doxers, & Scammers glean as much private data they can grab, abusing personal information for nefarious purposes.

Please, let Golden Rule thinking and the rule of fair and just laws guide US all towards a better way forward.

Sincerely,

Anne Selden Annab

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
