The Land & Love by Palestinian artist Ismail Shamout who was born in 1930 in Lydda - Palestine. During the Nakba of 1948, he and his family were forced out of their home during the assault of Jewish Zionist militant groups on their town. A long march on foot allowed them to settle in the refugee camps of Khan Younis in Gaza |
My most recent letter sent to my elected officials 10/2/2024
Dear America,
ISRAEL INVADES AMERICA again and again with every Zionist
spokesperson on TV news spinning pro-Israel propaganda for an Apartheid
nation that wants the "Holy" land, but not the native non-Jewish men,
women, and children of that land.
Palestine- Gaza, the West Bank, and now Lebanon all bombed
aggressively by Israel as it targets homes, apartment blocks, schools,
roads and infrastructures, obliterating families and communities with
American made lethal weaponry.
Israel wants enemies & religious extremism so it can raise more
funds and sympathy from US. Israel wants us duped- and we are.
Homegrown corporate corruption insists that the very foreign man-made
Apartheid nation called Israel has "the right to defend itself", while
refusing to see or explain the very real plight and suffering of
Palestinians as Israel cruelly persecutes, impoverishes, and displaces
them.
We don't have a Fourth Estate empowering our democracy, we have
Zionism unfairly influencing our elected leaders & voters, leading
US astray from American ideals of real democracy with full and equal
rights for ALL people, regardless of supposed race or religion.
Taxpayer money should not be funding weapons and excuses for war mongering Israel.
And Israeli groups such as AIPAC should be registered as agents for a foreign country.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab

Dear America- American blood Arab blood Christian blood Jewish blood Muslim blood all blood is just blood. Stop arming endlessly escalating war. Just stop.
Dear America- We are in this collectively- no exceptions... Stop the hate- and the pollution of war.
Dear America- Don't let Israel drive a wedge between you and the truth.
Dear America, Please Help Stop Institutionalized Bigotry & Injustice
Dear America- Israel can not be trusted, and should not be subsidized
Accusing peaceful pro-Palestine protesters of being "antisemitic" pleases Israel but it does not make any Jews any safer anywhere.
Send an honorable message far and wide- we believe in freedom of and from religion... and we believe in real justice, peace, and security for ALL !
