I
very much enjoyed reading about Anan Ameri and Dick Soble's 50
year long respectful relationship in Violet Ikonomova's 1-5-2024
article "50-year friendship offers a close look at caring dialogue
on Israeli-Palestinian conflict"
This
long lasting friendship and dialogue between a Jewish American and
a Palestinian American has been facilitated by a common language
and America's current legal framework of full and equal rights for
all people, regardless of supposed race or religion.
76
years ago, following the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust, The
Universal Declaration of Human Rights was born "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..."
60
years ago America's Civil Rights Act of 1964 ended segregation in
public places and banned employment discrimination on the basis of
race, color, religion, sex or national origin. This is considered
one of the crowning legislative achievements of our collective
civil rights movement.
Forging
peace, specifically a just and lasting peace for as many people as
possible, regardless of supposed race or religion, is both a noble
and a necessary goal, for everyone's sake: Religion should be a
personal, private choice, not a state funded project.
Sincerely,

My letter to the New Yorker RE Mosab Abu Toha's A Palestinian Poet’s Perilous Journey Out of Gaza
Ibtisam Barakat: A Palestinian Whose Childhood Was Destroyed by War Pleads for Peace- Never letting children endure war again is the “never again” that might actually heal our wounded humanity.
But where should people go...
Shereen Audi "I really wanted to spread some hope and positivity and give that feeling to the world and to everyone who needs it... all I wish for Palestine and for our world is peace and light.."

Israel eases up on bombing parts of Gaza, but only as famine and disease take their hold.
I hear reports and see TV commercials showing that Anti-Semitism and other forms of racist hate is increasing. We need to stop that trend
Together, we have the power to shift the narrative on Palestine and build a future of collective liberation- Visualizing Palestine NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

Almost all the universities in Gaza destroyed or damaged. A huge amount of students and academic staff killed.
Mosab Abu Toha · Heartbreaking to learn that Ammar Ghraiba, a young motion graphic designer and an aspiring filmmaker, got killed today. Our journalists, poets, and filmmakers are killed. But the story, the poem, and the film continue.
Like Palestinians in the rest of east Jerusalem, most Armenians do not hold Israeli citizenship but only residency...
