RE: Clinton's pro-Israel bias disturbing
http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060823/OPINION02/608230346/1016
Dear Editor,
I quite agree with the letter writer who finds "Clinton's pro-Israel bias disturbing ".
Israel itself has taken shame to a new level, and really America should divest emotionally and financially from the institutionalized bigotry, injustice and brutality that is Israel today.
Politicians worldwide that pander to the home wrecking killing machine misnamed the Jewish state should be forced to watch their own home be bulldozed on a moments notice and their own future destroyed by the removal of all their own basic civil rights and freedoms: Let them be stateless refugees like the millions of Palestinian refugees trapped in poverty and despair, crushed by a concrete apartheid wall and constantly attacked and harassed by Israel's immigrant bigots.
"We will have to face the reality that Israel is neither innocent, nor redemptive. And that in its creation, and expansion; we as Jews, have caused what we historically have suffered; a refugee population in Diaspora." Martin Buber, Jewish Philosopher, addressed Prime Minister Ben Gurion on the moral character of the state of Israel with reference to the Arab refugees in March 1949
Universally, real justice makes peace- racist Israel only makes war... and more and more refugees.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab

RE: Max Boot: Israel Should Hit Syria First

Dear Editor,
Political Zionism's 100 year long war on the Middle East must end- enough with the Zionist hate mongering and this endless quest to demonize, attack and impoverish everyone so that immigrant bigots can look like grand heroes that have stepped right out of the pages of a Sunday School story.
There is nothing gracious or noble about Israel's Zionist warriors. They have all the latest technology to make modern murder utterly merciless. Not even a crime of passion so much as a numbers game so that the misnamed Jewish State can pretend to be Jewish.
Israel is not a liberal democracy- it is a home wrecking killing machine that has been ethnically cleansing the Holy Land. Pulverizing Lebanon is just the latest in a long series of intentional moves to economically cripple all possible competition- and dissent, both Christian and Muslim.... Israel is a very deadly sin that should be, ever so gently, dismantled and disarmed.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab

Dear Editor,
What a shame that protesters and even academics prefer to focus on America's part in the Mideast fiasco, when it is clear to any who dare look that political Zionism, a totally toxic ideology, is the real problem.
I do not like America's current foreign polices, in particular this misguided faith that modern man made Israel was ever our friend. However America's ideals concerning real freedom, justice and equality for all- and separation of church and state- are, I believe, good solid sensible ideals. The problem starts because Zionists, essentially agents for a foreign country- play our democratic system in every way they can in order to usurp American money, weapons and sympathy.
Israel, racist Israel, wants a clash of civilizations and the crime called Israel wants America to pay for it coming and going. Neither Hamas nor Hezbollah would even exist but for Israel, racist Israel the home wrecking killing machine that has created and exasperated the largest longest running refugee crisis in the world.
So why not focus full attention on the fact that the Palestinian refugees, both Muslim and Christian, always did and always will have every right to return to their original homes and lands.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab

RE: Ethnic profiling: Keeping us safe? letters
http://www.newsday.com/news/opinion/letters/
Dear Editor,
Bad people really do come in all ethnicities and genders. However Anderson is rather disingenuous by inferring that Israelis believe that racial profiling does not work- millions of Palestinian refugees, trapped and tormented by racist Israeli laws and walls, are refused their legal and moral right to return to their homes and land because the profile Palestinian/ indigenous non-Jew immediately casts them as political Zionism's enemy... With out such racial profiling building apartheid in the Holy Land, Israel the (misnamed) Jewish state would not even be !

RE: Different Marches
http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060823/OPINION01/608230308/1008
Dear Editor,
Sadly the "peace" camp has been very much been hijacked by some loud mouthed fools who want to send the message that those who abhor racist Israeli injustice also hate America. But how many Arabs and Muslims in America did not march that day for fear their protest would be maliciously misconstrued- and how many did march anyway with their hearts full of gratitude for American ideals ? I promise you many... and those are the numbers that really count and those are the numbers are being ignored.
In the end the protest signs and the spin that hate mongering Zionist propagandists put on everything simply does not matter as much as the ideals we Americans wish to promote and protect : Please do not demonize Arabs and Muslims- and peaceful protest.
Sincerely,

RE: No right to exist letter by EMLYN ADDISON
http://www.projo.com/opinion/letters/content/projo_20060823_lenuad.2d6d8b0.html
Dear Editor,
Look at it many ways and the same answer pops up- Israel as the (misnamed) Jewish state has no right to exist. Make peace with the fact Palestine is here to stay and Jews really blew it by being so very rude towards the native non-Jewish population of that place so many call the Holy Land.
Political Zionism is a nasty idea that pretends to be nice. It is a totally toxic ideology that arms institutionalized bigotry, injustice and endless war. Racist Israel the home wrecking killing machine should be dismantled and disarmed as soon as possible... Focus on the fact that the Palestinian refugees inalienable legal and moral right to return must be fully respected and honored. Do right by the children of Palestine and pray that they have more compassion for the people of Israel than the people of Israel have ever shown towards them.
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab

RE: Winning by surviving
http://www.suntimes.com/output/letters/cst-edt-vox22a.html
Dear Editor,
While Harold Goldmeier speaks of Israeli victory being "winning by surviving", bragging about the fact that Israel's "economy was robust, the hotels full of businesspeople, and the citizens living large and celebrating life." he neglects to notice that political Zionism is a huge investment in institutionalized bigotry: Millions of Palestinian refugees have every right to return to their original homes and lands but racist Israel, the misnamed Jewish state, refuses to respect their basic human rights- refuses to acknowledge their humanity even.
That's called winning ? How many more enemies will arise from Israeli brutality just from this past month ! On this trajectory, Hamas and Hezbollah will look like child's play compared to what will come.

RE: Grief is universal by Linda Gunn

http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/nation/15336467.htm
Dear Editor,
Thank you for publishing Linda Gunn's excellent letter "Grief is Universal" concerning every mother's wish to believe her child did not die in vain.
There is a vast amount of bigotry in how America, heavily influenced by toxic Israeli propaganda, perceives the people people of the Middle East. We would be wise to realize that Israel itself, shaped and sustained by political Zionism is actually the antithesis of every ideal we are supposed to cherish. There is no freedom, no justice, no equality in that monstrous Israeli built apartheid wall that is dividing and destroying the Holy Land.
And with estimated 250,000 West Bank settlers on the far side of that wall it is clear that the wall, built primarily on Palestinian land, is meant mainly to be insult and aggravation- like the blade of a bulldozer pulverizing yet another Palestinian home, uprooting yet another precious olive tree... impoverishing and harassing yet another refugee, killing yet another Palestinian child: Israel is a genocidal urge to create and then eradicate enemies:
"Spirit the penniless population across the frontier by denying it employment... Both the process of expropriation and the
removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly." Theodore Herzl, founder of the World Zionist Organization, speaking of the Arabs of Palestine,Complete Diaries, June 12, 1895 entry.
"The Palestinians" would be crushed like grasshoppers ... heads smashed against the boulders and walls." Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Shamir, in a speech to Jewish settlers New York Times April 1, 1988.
Israel is our friend ?!!!!!!
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
