| Norman Rockell's "Golden Rule" |
Dear America,
War mongering is easy, quite expensive in the long run but easy for those who profit most from weapons sales and land grabs.
Wars used to be fought between armies, but in today's world, war is
state sponsored terrorism aimed at tormenting and killing children,
destroying homes, pulverizing communities and civilian infrastructures,
and impoverishing a targeted population.
State sponsored terrorism is empowered by computer technology, blockades, sanctions, poisonous propaganda and law-fare. Sadly our mainstream legacy media is no longer a voice for real democracy with full and equal rights for all, nor does it offer an accurate reflection of real world news - it is currently a tool in the hands of a very foreign county that wants American money and weaponry.
Our Congress wined, dined and bribed by the agents of that very foreign country, in turn shape laws to silence criticism of that very foreign country.
Meanwhile our current President has chosen to de-fund schools,
libraries, museums, artists, National Parks, healthcare, research and
science while at the same time increasing funds to protect and empower
that very foreign country.
America's "Trail of Tears" refers to the forced relocation of approximately 60,000 native First Peoples tribes who were cruelly displaced from their homes and communities by white settlers between 1830 and 1850. Times and technology have changed since then. We now know that segregation and forced displacement is wrong. Very very wrong... So why we are arming Israel to disenfranchise and forcibly displace and/or kill indigenous Palestinians?!!!
More than 64,000 Palestinians have been confirmed
killed by Israeli violence in Gaza since Oct. 2023, including at least
19,424 children. 162,776 people confirmed injured- with more child
amputees than history has ever seen before.
Why are we funding Israel's starvation and slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza?!!! 387 killed due to starvation, including 138 children. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/18/gaza-tracker
Israel is in long term and flagrant violation of international law as it persistently persecutes, impoverishes, torments and intentionally displaces the indigenous non-Jewish men, women and children of historic Palestine.
America should be empowering and funding freedom, justice, and peace with The United Nations, UNESCO, and UNRWA... for every one's sake.
Instead American money, weaponry, and UN Veto power help Israel bomb
crowded Palestinian refugee camps as Israel grabs land and resources it
has no right to have.
Israel has been disenfranchising Palestinians for almost a century with the Nakba created by armed Zionist gangs that pushed many Palestinians into forced exile and refugee camps.
The Israel/Palestine conflict is not about what that one place will be called. It is all about full and equal rights with the rule of fair and just laws based on full respect for universal human rights. That includes every refugee's inalienable right to return to original homes and lands.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab

"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

STOP THE SIEGE- stop funding crazy cruel Israeli schemes & the forced displacement, imprisonment, starvation, torture, and killing of human beings in Gaza and Palestine.
Please don’t succumb to hopelessness over Palestine... "As the war gets livestreamed to our phones, it is easy to be overwhelmed and feel helpless. But even small acts of activism add up" Arwa Mahdawi in The Guardian
"Human rights don’t change with the seasons, political winds, or trends. They are timeless. In an increasingly polarised world, they help to unite us. No matter where we live or what we believe, we all want safety and peace for ourselves & those we love." Volker Türk #United Nations #GoldenRuleThinking

The United States has imposed sanctions against three Palestinian human rights groups that asked the international criminal court to investigate Israel over allegations of genocide in Gaza, according to a notice posted to the US treasury department’s website on Thursday.
Washington imposes sanctions on 3 Palestinian human rights groups this week, last week the United States announced it would not grant visas to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and 80 other Palestinian Authority officials to attend the United Nations General Assembly next month , where France and several other countries plan to recognise the State of Palestine.
"In Gaza, journalists are not just relaying the tragedies of displacement, loss, and starvation. They are experiencing it firsthand in all of its extremities, too. But when journalists are also targets, who reports on them? More than 270 Palestinian media personnel have been killed in 21 months. Who defended them? This was the duty of international journalists: to stand by their peers, to serve as their armour, to amplify their voices." Text Mariam Barghouti | Photography Ahmed Younes & Ali Jadall
"The media’s initial reporting and subsequent failure to hold Israel truly accountable highlights a disturbing trend in which Western outlets choose Israeli propaganda over the truth, often downplaying and normalising blatant violations of international law. As such, the media allows the continued dehumanisation of Palestinians and the normalisation of Israel’s atrocities, even genocide. The Nasser hospital bombing is not an aberration, it is part of a larger pattern of Israeli aggression against Gaza’s civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, homes, and schools. " Assal Rad
The Hill: In Gaza, Israel has turned food aid into a death trap
States must stop Israel before all journalists in Gaza are silenced: UN experts
CSM: Cooking videos got these Gazans a global following. Now, there’s nothing to eat.... “This famine is entirely man-made [BY ISRAELI BLOCKADE]"
"Beyond Gaza, in the occupied West Bank, the Israeli military and armed settlers are inflicting appalling violence on Palestinians – annexation is now a declared political objective. The world’s indifference and inaction are shocking; amount to complicity; and compromise the stability of the entire region." UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini ..."UNRWA must be allowed to deliver aid and reverse the man-made famine in Gaza."
Update: Alarming Escalation of Israeli Soldiers’ Looting during Raids in the West Bank
In Gaza, priests and nuns have chosen to stay. They refuse to abandon their people, even as bombs fall and threats grow. Their courage is a light in the darkest night... #Witness #Palestine #Churches #Christians
"The olive tree is more than a tree in Palestine, it is a heartbeat, a witness, a rooted elder holding centuries in its branches. When Israeli forces and settlers tear these groves from the earth, it is not only roots that are severed, but memory, heritage, and the quiet dreams of generations. Yet even uprooted, the olive carries a stubborn truth: that belonging cannot be erased, and that the land remembers those who loved it." Sliman Mansour of Palestine
A Palestinian farmer in Gaza discovered this mosaic under his orchard in 2022. Who knows what became of the farmer, his family, his home, and the mosaic: As of 27 May 2025, UNESCO has verified damage to 110 sites since 7 October 2023 – 13 religious sites, 77 buildings of historical and/or artistic interest, 3 depositories of movable cultural property, 9 monuments, 1 museum and 7 archeological sites.
Dear America- Why is an America that fought to save Europe from the Nazi Holocaust want to be part of the Zionist Holocaust that is raging in a land called holy by all three Abrahamic faiths ?!!
Israel says it wants the hostages but what Israel has wanted all along is yet another an excuse to grab all the land of historic Palestine and beyond.
Please no more Israeli GHF killing fields or other such Zionist schemes that aim to further harass and destroy the native non-Jewish population of historic Palestine.
Our "friend" Israel does not and never has practiced the rule of fair and just laws with equal rights for all... Zionism is ?!!!!
The Israel Lobby comes in many forms, and I suspect Israeli bribes do too. So in a way American funds sent to support Israel come back in the form of an information war on America, aimed at gathering more funds and lethal weaponry so that Israel can continue USURPING land, rights, and peace... and Occupation Forces can continue harassing and harming any who dare object to such blatant injustice and violence.
I do not know why Zionism went so wrong- but it did...
STOP THE SIEGE- stop funding crazy cruel Israeli checkpoints & the forced displacement, imprisonment, starvation, torture, and killing of human beings in Gaza and Palestine.
Stop forcing us to be wage slaves for Israeli racism and escalating war... #MandelaDay is an opportunity to honor Mandela's commitment to freedom, justice & equality.
White Supremacist violence and injustice makes the world an increasingly dangerous place for all who disagree with White Supremacists- Nazi Germany under Hitler then, and both American and Israeli White Supremacists in positions of power now.
SUPPORT House Resolution 317 - Urging the United States to lead the world back from the brink of nuclear war and halt and reverse the nuclear arms race 2025... and please stop trusting Israel to give US good advice and intel.
The Texas floods killing children are a heartbreaking natural disaster, whereas Israel armed with American weaponry killing children is a cruel choice made by human beings who really should know better.
Happy Fourth of July... Happy that we have the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, The Bill of Rights, The Rule of Fair and Just laws, and all the brave civil rights heroes through out our history who helped America become a more real democracy for all people... Not so happy that America is funding and arming Israel's ongoing violations of international law and human rights in both Gaza and the West Bank.
Set the right example by scorning violence and racist hate... The world does not need more weapons of war. We need to prioritize peace and progress with respect for ALL human beings, regardless of supposed race or religion.
Invest in the people's needs... Be for real freedom, justice, true equality, and respect for all of humankind!
Stand up for international law and Human Rights, not the weapons industry.
PLEASE SCORN VIOLENCE and stop arming Israel with lethal weaponry plus dumb excuses to cause cruel harm to others!
We should be supporting the people's needs, not state sponsored terrorism and the intentional starvation and torture of children.
Thank you NPR, for the compassionate listen into Palestinian life, trauma, and suffering
This Earth Day please start noticing how much pollution and injustice war creates.
Tragedies abound here on planet earth, but at least we can try to make our world a better, more fair, just and secure place for more people.
Racist times created hell on earth for "others" then, we really should know better now...
Funding religious extremists and charlatans is a recipe for disaster.
Please do not let this tragic situation became a reason for more people to be treated more unequally, with more Palestinians and Palestinian Americans being doxed, destroyed, and displaced.
Life is not a video game. These are real human beings and American made weaponry has been creating a Holocaust with The Rule of Lawlessness in the Holy Land.
Taxpayers' money should not be shoring up greed, corporate corruption, injustice, and war.
Please, let Golden Rule thinking and the rule of fair and just laws guide US all towards a better way forward.
State sponsored violence is not the way to convince vulnerable people to veer away from arming religious tyranny and terrorism.
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.
