Don't let our tax dollars pollute the Holy Land with more bullets & bombs... & racist hate

A Palestinian Couple with their baby by artist Ismail Shammout
 

Dear Biden, Casey, Fetterman, Perry, & Gov Shapiro 

Weapons for Israel bring a few jobs to America by escalating war in the Holy Land. 

Help create a just and lasting peace for all people (here & there), regardless of supposed race or religion: Don't arm Israel's sky rocketing religious extremism and its relentless persecution & displacement of the native non-Jewish men, women & children of historic Palestine.

Religion should be a personal, private choice, not a state funded project.

I do not like or support HAMAS, but I do understand why they exist, & why HAMAS will not go away even if all HAMAS fighters are killed this week by Israeli snipers & bombs: You simply can not stop people who are seriously oppressed from doing all they can to shake off their oppressors.  

Every young person in Gaza and the West Bank today, plus many outsiders on social media, are witness to racist Israel's crimes, and they will- we will- find a way to Free Palestine.  

Don't let our tax dollars pollute the Holy Land with more bullets & bombs... & racist hate. 

If you are addicted to violence please just go play a video game or watch an action adventure movie- don't hurt real people.  

 Sincerely

Anne Selden Annab

Invest Time & Money in American Ideals - NOT ISRAEL ... letter to my elected officials

The UN Mediator for Palestine, Count Folke Bernadotte, believed that the Palestinians displaced had a right to return to their homes and wrote several UN reports to that effect.

"It would be an offence against the principles of elemental justice if these innocent victims of the conflict were denied the right to return to their homes while Jewish immigrants flow into Palestine, and, indeed, at least offer the threat of permanent replacement of the Arab refugees who have been rooted in the land for centuries."

Bernadotte was assassinated on Friday 17 September 1948 by members of the group Lehi, a Zionist terrorist organization, commonly known in the West as the Stern Gang

 A Christmas Message for our World

Rev. Imad Haddad
 
As we sing “silent night holy night” this Christmas let us remember the nights in which the silence was shattered by the sounds of bombs, gun shots, and aircrafts. 
 
The only silence people in Gaza can hear these days is the horrendous silence of death. 
 
There is nothing holy in the nights or the days in which human life is desecrated. The only holy thing during those days are the sound of prayerful cries that comes out of a broken heart rising up to disturb the evil silence of death.
 
As we sing “Away in a manger” this Christmas let us direct our attention to those kids in Gaza whose only manger is a coffin, and their crib is a tomb under the rubble. The “stars in the sky” cannot “look down where [they]lay” for the smoke of bombed and shattered houses cover the scene of the sky.
 
This Christmas, as we celebrate reading from Luke: “Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.” Let us think of those who take refuge in Churches, mosques, schools, hospitals, or in the open air for the only thing that shines around them are light bombs. They try to find life away from home but even their shelters are bombed. The only words that speak to them from this reading is the status of the shepherds who were terrified. For terror and fear describe the story of the present days in Gaza. 
 
As we sing “let every heart prepare him room” remember to see the face of Jesus in every refugee so we can accept, serve, and protect them as we would do for Jesus. Remember that Jesus was a refugee too. His family was first forced to leave their home in Nazareth due to the orders of the empire, then they were also forced to escape and take refuge in Egypt due to political tyranny. 
 
This Christmas as we pray for those who are afflicted in our world, and as we pray for Justice and peace, let us remember that Jesus was incarnate in our world during a situation that does not differ much from our own. The “Word became flesh and dwelt among us” to bring justice and peace to a world that is torn apart. He dwelt among us to be with us, to be one of us, and to free us from the bonds of oppression. The dwelling of the Word among the people has transformed the incarnation to be “intra-carnation.” This is the message of hope that we give to the world as we go through these times of injustice, oppression, and ethnic cleansing: Jesus is with us, he is one of us, he chose to unite himself to us

More than 90% of the Gazan population have been recently displaced

 
Over 60% of the infrastructure in #Gaza has been destroyed or damaged. 
 
More than 90% of the Gazan population have been displaced. 
 
This is a staggering and unprecedented level of destruction and forced displacement, taking place in front of our eyes.    https://www.unrwa.org/
 
18 December 2023

The humanitarian tragedy in Gaza has cast a long shadow over international events to mark 75 years since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, serving as the starkest illustration in decades of the failure to implement these rights fully for Palestine Refugees. 

“Human rights apply to everyone, without distinction, whoever they are and wherever they are. But for Palestine Refugees the promise of universal rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has rarely seemed so distant, and the challenges to realising these rights seldom so daunting,” said Stephanie Case, Chief of the Protection Division at UNRWA. 

“It is disregard for human rights that has led us to where we are today. Adherence to human rights is crucial to for an alternative future where stability, peace and justice prevail.” 

Amid international outcry about the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of the war in Gaza, it is essential to bring back to the centre of all policy and public discussions the baseline for human dignity that the international community agreed to in 1948: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.  

The 75th anniversary of this landmark accord, marked last week, coincides with the 75th year since the Nakba – the mass forced displacement of Palestinians. 

Since the beginning of the war in Gaza in October, the Israeli Authorities have forcibly moved up to 1.9 million Gazans from their homes, in the largest forced displacement of Palestinians since 1948. 

Although different in scope, both international human rights law and international humanitarian law provide protection to persons during armed conflict. Human rights apply at all times, both during peace and in war. They are universal, inherent in all individuals, and include the rights to life, food, health, housing, education, and freedom of movement 

UNRWA, founded in 1949, has worked since its inception to safeguard the rights of Palestine Refugees, notably to health and education, by providing essential services. In Gaza, this has been completely derailed by the war. 

Conditions in Gaza are catastrophic. Under relentless bombardment, thousands of civilians have been killed, the majority of them women and children, with 136 UNRWA staff among those killed, the highest in the history of the United Nations. 

An entire population of 2.2 million people are being denied food, water, medical supplies, and other basics of survival, as diseases loom large. Whole neighbourhoods have been destroyed and emptied of their inhabitants. Nearly 1.4 million people are now sheltering in 155 UNRWA installations – mostly schools transformed into overcrowded emergency shelters – seeking safety under the UN flag. This has not stopped UNRWA installations from being hit, resulting in further loss of life and injury – to date, 115 UNRWA buildings have been damaged in bombardments, resulting in almost 300 deaths and over 1,000 injuries. 

In the West Bank, meanwhile, escalating violence has reached levels not seen in two decades. Palestine Refugees are leaving the camps where they live in growing numbers, driven by fear and insecurity. More refugees have been killed in the last two months than in any single year since the UN started documenting fatalities in 2005.  

The attacks by Hamas on 7 October were abhorrent and an assault against human rights. Taking civilians as hostages, including women and children, is prohibited under international law and unacceptable.  

There must be an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. International law must be upheld, and there must be accountability for violations. Humanitarian aid must be allowed to enter Gaza and delivered throughout Gaza in a safe, rapid, unimpeded, and sustainable way to those in need. And the human rights we acknowledge today for all human beings must be respected and protected for Palestinians.

Donia had lost her parents and two siblings in an Israeli strike. She was getting treatment in the hospital after she lost her leg in a previous Israeli strike when she was killed by yet another Israeli shelling.

The young Palestinian who was killed by Israel's shelling of another hospital in Gaza is Donia Abu Mohsen.

Donia had lost her parents and two siblings in an earlier Israeli air strike on her family home.  She was getting treatment in the Naser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis because she lost her leg in a that Israeli strike on her family home in Gaza. 

This young girl and her family deserved to live, to love, to laugh and run and be free. Instead they were trapped in Gaza- victims of Israel's genocidal war on Palestine.

Palestine demands investigation into reports of Israel burying victims alive in Gaza

 Palestine demanded an investigation Saturday into reports of the Israeli army burying civilians alive in the courtyard of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, Anadolu Agency reports.

“Information and testimonies from citizens, medical crews, and media indicate that the occupation buried living civilians in the Kamal Adwan Hospital courtyard, and that some of them were seen alive before being besieged by the occupation,” according to Palestinian Health Minister Mai al-Kaila.

“The world should take serious action to uncover the details of this file and not tolerate or remain silent about the information coming from the Gaza Strip,” said al-Kaila as she urged an international inquiry into the reports.

READ: Israeli forces detain over 70 Palestinians near Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza

Al-Kaila explained that “the Israeli occupation deliberately expelled the wounded from Kamal Adwan Hospital into the open air in extremely cold weather and attacked medical personnel, posing a serious threat to the lives of the wounded and patients.”​​​​​​​

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry also demanded an “immediate international investigation into preliminary reports of the occupation committing heinous and horrifying crimes in the courtyard of Kamal Adwan Hospital.”

Director-General of the Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip, Munir Al-Bursh, told Anadolu that “the Israeli occupation committed a humanitarian catastrophe, turning Kamal Adwan Hospital into a military barracks and deliberately humiliating medical staff and the wounded.”

Palestinian journalist Anas al-Sharif wrote on X after visiting the hospital following the withdrawal of Israeli forces, that “what the Israeli occupation did inside Kamal Adwan Hospital is a heinous crime against the residents and medical staff.”

Why is a foreign country so free to swindle and trick America into supporting religious tyranny and rampant injustice?!

1948 Palestinian refugees refused their natural, logical, moral, ethical and legal right to return to original homes and lands.

 Dear Biden, Harris, & Congress..etc..,

Israel's war is a fierce war on the besieged & starving Palestinians, as well as a manipulative war of words on America everywhere I look: 

Why is a foreign country so free to swindle and trick America into supporting religious tyranny and rampant injustice?!

Read the international papers- Israeli leaders are clear they do not want a Palestinian state. Jews worldwide can move to Israel & Jews worldwide are also able to return to original homes and lands throughout Europe (& get EU citizenship) since the Nazi Holocaust. 

BUT Israel refuses to allow Palestinians to return to their original homes and lands in historic Palestine.

UNWRA was created in 1950 to aid Arabs pushed out of their homes in historic Palestine by Jewish terrorists.  Meanwhile 75 years since the founding of Israel the forced displacement & murder of Palestinian men, women and children continues as Israeli soldiers and settlers harass, impoverish, & kill Palestinians in the West Bank, and the IDF aggressively bombs and kills Palestinians trapped in Gaza.

The Israeli war of words here in America is also escalating with Israeli lies & misinformation obscuring and hiding the very real plight & suffering of the Palestinians:  

On twitter today a post by UNWRA "You cannot deliver aid under a sky full of airstrikes" gets a huge nasty negative response from Zionists eager to #defundUNWRA.  

On our mainstream TV Zionists create slick content and commercials to gain more American support. 

There are Zionist charities advertising- begging for individual donations from the naive... meanwhile  every American tax payer is forced to fund Israel. 

Why is Israel's ongoing RACIST persecution, oppression, displacement, and murder of the native non-Jewish men, women, and children of Palestine ignored by our mainstream media ?! 

Why are we being led astray by our Fourth Estate, our elected officials, and far too many churches & religious leaders.

Religion should be a private choice- not state funded.

Sincerely

Anne Selden Annab
