Dear America- Don't let American weaponry or words inspire even more religious extremism, terrorism, and state sponsored brutality world-wide

"THEY (WHO) SEEK TO ESTABLISH SYSTEMS OF GOVERNMENT BASED ON THE REGIMENTATION  OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS BY A HANDFUL OF INDIVIDUAL RULERS... CALL THIS A NEW ORDER. IT IS NOT NEW AND IT IS NOT ORDER." FDR Photograph of a bronze sculpture by Neil Estern of Franklin Delano Roosevelt (in his wheelchair) and his dog Fala in Room Three of the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, Washington, D.C. 

Dear America,

Trump, DOGE and our Congress are laying the groundwork for World Wars III, IV, &V with a rampantly pro-Israel prejudice aimed at undermining and destroying the United Nations, human rights, fair and just laws- and the International Court of Justice.

Basic logic is Golden Rule thinking: Treat people the way you want to be treated- and the way you want your loved ones to be treated.

Stealing homes, land, and peace is wrong!

Detaining and/or torturing and/or killing political hostages because of their supposed race, religion, or nationality is evil and wrong when Israel does it and when HAMAS does it. 

HAMAS attacking a music festival in Israel was evil and wrong, and Israel retaliating by obliterating Gaza and now the West Bank with bombs and bulldozers is evil and wrong.

People turn to religious extremism and/or violence for many reasons, including corruption and greed. Don't let American weaponry or words inspire even more religious extremism, terrorism, and state sponsored brutality.

Sincerely,

Anne Selden Annab

Dear America- Slavery, Segregation and Forced Displacement are wrong. Wrong then and wrong now

"Gaza in all likelihood would be only a first step. If such ethnic cleansing ever became acceptable, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem would surely follow. Even the so-called Arab population of Israel..." Kenneth Roth

"Much of the western media have been complicit in dehumanizing Palestinians and normalizing what many experts have termed a genocide." Trump’s Gaza remarks are no surprise: ethnic cleansing was always the plan.
