Letter I just sent to my elected officials "America should not be funding and empowering Israel. Invest in real freedom and democracy. Invest in America."

The only thing the US and Palestine have in common is they’re both occupied by Zionism- meme recently found on twitter

 

Dear President Biden

I pray for strength and the words to write to you today, urging you to help lead America away from fueling and funding religious extremism any where, specifically here in the United States of America but also in Israel, the Zionist state that determines freedoms, rights, respect, and citizenship on a person's religion.

America should be all about freedom FROM religion, as well as freedom to worship God if you want to do so. Religion should be a private personal choice, not a state funded preference and an inspiration for escalating hostilities and violence.

Protect and respect Jewish people as individuals, as well as Christians and Muslims and Hindus and Buddhists and every other religion on earth. Live by the Golden Rule and let all be welcome and safe here in America:  Just America- Not Israel. 

Peaceful non-political religious congregations here in America help America thrive in many ways, including with soup kitchens and clothes for the poor.  This we should be proud of, but we should not be proud of U.S. support for Israel. 

We should be horrified and ashamed: For the past 75 years the native non-Jewish men, women and children of historic Palestine have suffered horribly due to rampantly racist Israeli policies with Zionist soldiers and settlers constantly usurping more and more Palestinian land, destroying more and more Palestinian homes and farms.

Worried about China's TikToc technology being used in America ?   I am, but I am even more worried about Israeli technology and propaganda campaigns being used in America, with Zionist agents influencing our media as well as our elections [and foreign policies].

America should not be funding and empowering Israel.  Invest in real freedom and democracy. Invest in America.

Sincerely,

Anne Selden Annab

There’s no cycle of violence in Jerusalem – only Israel’s lethal oppression of my people: Guardian article by Jalal Abukhater

 "There are no “cycles of home demolitions” or “tit-for-tat expulsions” – Palestinians are not confiscating Israeli properties or detaining thousands of Israelis through military courts. Any approach that suggests symmetry of power – or responsibility – is analytically and morally flawed."  Jalal Abukhater

Dear President Biden,

Good State of the Union speech last night. There is hope for America.

And deep within that hope that our democracy and economy will flourish for all Americans, not just a lucky few at the top, may I ask that we notice the very real plight of the Palestinians who have so little hope left due to rampant Israeli racism.

In 1948, after seeing the real horrors wrought by racism and the Nazi Holocaust, the world came together to create The Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Modern man-made Israel, also created in 1948, has no excuse for being so cruel to the native non-Jewish people of historic Palestine.

The Palestinian refugee crisis created by Zionists in 1948 goes on and on and on, with countless men women and children waiting for their inalienable legal and moral Right to Return to original homes and lands to be respected.  BUT Israel wants to be "Jewish", and so Israel demonizes and destroys people who object to that misguided notion. Palestinians get hit the hardest, but even American politicians and teachers who dare speak out risk their careers.

Please stand up for what is right and good. Set the right example. America should not be funding and fueling racism in any way shape or form.

Please notice that Israel built a land grabbing (apartheid) wall as if it supports a two state solution to end the Israel/Palestine conflict, but then at the same time Israel also builds and extends expensive Israeli-only road systems beyond the Israeli built "border" wall through out the illegally occupied territories, AND Israel also funds Jewish-only settlement neighborhoods beyond that "border" wall.  

Meanwhile Palestinians are harassed and cut off from their homes and families and employment due to Israeli checkpoints created to protect a cruel apartheid system...   NEVER AGAIN needs to include all human beings, not just Jewish ones.  Please stop supporting Israel and Israeli racism for everyone's sake.

Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
