Dear America (letter I just sent to my elected officials),
If you want to fight Anti-Semitism,
the first step has to be realizing that Israel of 1948 claims to be
Jewish, but it is not actually Jewish and never has been: Don't confuse
the nice Jewish people you personally know with the political entity
called Israel.
Israel of
1948 is many things, but first and foremost Israel of 1948 is a land
hungry war machine, a violently racist nation, and a political process
aimed at disparaging and displacing indigenous Palestinian men, women
and children who speak the Semitic language called Arabic.
Every Palestinian in Gaza and the West Bank and Israel, and every descendant of exiled Palestinian refugees worldwide is in fact a spiritual and rightful citizen of the land "between the river and the sea" which is currently called Israel and the OPT (occupied territories.)
Modern man-made Israel wants the land but not the native non-Jewish people of that land- the Palestinians. Israel's state sponsored terrorism intentionally targets and destroys Palestinian refugee camps, schools, and homes... Our post-Nazi Holocaust world has words for that, and laws to prevent such ethnic cleansing and/or genocide.
Criticizing Israel
is not Anti-Semitic. Calling for respect for human rights and the rule of fair and just laws is not Anti-Semitic.
Countering the poisonous propaganda of a very foreign rogue nation state that interferes with our elections and our free speech is not Anti-Semitic.
Americans should not be funding, arming, and/or excusing Israel in any way, shape, or form.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab

Please do not demonize and silence or destroy people who speak out peacefully against corruption, injustice, racism, bigotry, and violence of every type.
US added to international watchlist for rapid decline in civic freedoms Civicus, an international non-profit, puts country alongside Democratic Republic of Congo, Italy, Pakistan and Serbia
Noura Erakat: "It was the Biden administration, it was the Democratic establishment, that has created the conditions that we are now seeing taken advantage of," Palestinian scholar says of Mahmoud Khalil's arrest and the Trump administration's crackdown on dissent.
As of now ANNE FRANK RULES APPLY
Pro-Palestinian activist's arrest meant 'to intimidate and chill speech' ... Omar Baddar: Mahmoud has a green card & is married to an American who is 8 months pregnant w/their kid. His only crime seems to be free speech against genocide. Now he's being smeared by the secretary of state of the Trump regime who is promising to deport him. This is dark time in America.
What Americans think the Israel-Palestine 'conflict' is VS What it really is ...
For seven days, not a single food truck has entered Gaza. Today, Israel cut off all electricity—shutting down the last sources of clean water. No food. No water. For two million people, half of them children. This isn’t war. It’s extermination....
‘Ceasefire’ is a hollow word for Palestinians – the killings, displacements and denial of aid continue. A winding down of operations in Gaza has allowed Israel to turn its attention to the West Bank, with devastating effects
A farmer, a nurse, and a pastor return from war torn Palestine. They shared what they saw... “It’s also extremely meaningful for us to witness their [PALESTINIAN] courage and resilience and to learn from them..."
What Peace Looks Like
Dear Hitler 2.0 [Trump], etc.: Please stop fueling corporate corruption, WAR, and escalating suffering for countless men, women, and children.
United Nations Geneva #DisarmamentDay: For the 9th consecutive year, global military spending increased in 2023, reaching a record $2.4 trillion... military spending continues to soar while peace initiatives remain woefully underfunded.
Francesca Albanese: Imagine if people stopped telling the Palestinians what to do and instead focused on Israel's LEGAL OBLIGATIONS
Humanitarian aid should never be used as a tool of war. Doctors w/o Borders: "Israel is once again blocking an entire population from receiving aid, using it as a bargaining chip. This is unacceptable, outrageous, and will have devastating consequences," says MSF’s Caroline Seguin. "The news has created uncertainty and fear, causing food prices to spike."
Building a Culture of Peace
ACCEPTANCE SPEECHES: NO OTHER LAND Accepts the Oscar for Documentary Feature Film !!!
Oscars 2025: The winner for best documentary feature [NO OTHER LAND] still has no U.S. distribution... ‘No Other Land’ Oscar winners call for a different path on Israeli-Palestinian conflict
We Defend Our Right To Protest
SEIZED, SETTLED, LET: How Airbnb and Booking.com help Israelis make money from stolen Palestinian land... "Businesses should not enable, facilitate, or profit from serious violations of international law."
Jewish Voice for Peace: Mazel tov to the Presbyterian Church (USA) on their historic vote to divest from Israel's occupation, one year ago! !!!!!!!!!
Israel, armed with American made weaponry and political support, invests in religious extremism and sets up families to be canon fodder for religious wars.... Israel claims to be Jewish, but what it really is is a cruel war machine that has been aggressively grabbing land, rights, and peace from the people of historic Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan.
Hate crimes are escalating here in America with people primed by Zionism to think, say and do horrible things...
Slavery, Segregation and Forced Displacement are wrong. Wrong then and wrong now
"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..." https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights
