You have an impressive resume. Going forward I very much hope you
embrace the idea of real freedom, justice, and equality for all....
including the native non-Jewish men, women and children of historic
Palestine.
Arming & funding Israel as Israel bombs impoverished refugees in tents and families sheltering in schools is crazy wrong. Having & beating slaves was legal in America 170 years ago... Just because something is technically legal and even widely accepted, does not make it right or good.
China used drones to create and choreograph a
majestic dragon dancing in the sky. Meanwhile Israel has been using
drones as weapons of war to assassinate Palestinian journalists and aid
workers. Yes- journalists and aid workers. Israel wants to silence,
displace, torment, and destroy as many Palestinians as possible.
The best way to beat HAMAS, Hezbollah, and ISIS is with ideas, not violence.
The best idea is to start with full support for fair and just laws
based on full respect for basic human rights. We already have the road
map in place with international law. Don't let America's VETO destroy
that.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab

Always, no matter what.... Even Wars Have Rules
"If the U.S. had held Israel accountable for the killing of other Americans like Rachel Corrie or Shireen Abu Akleh, perhaps Israeli soldiers would not feel so emboldened to kill Americans, and other civilians, today." Hamad Ali in The Hill 12/14/24
Dear America- Israel and its propagandists claim it is all about self-defense, but Israel is and has been the aggressor and the rule breaker.
Dear Elected Officials- Stop poisoning the land, and undermining international law.
