Subject: BREAK THE SILENCE ON GAZA!

To: President George Bush,

Connected by the internet and informed by the information age, on the eve of the day we are to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr.- and a more real democracy with full and equal rights for all, I am utterly horrified to know of the sorrow and suffering in all of Palestine so cruelly besieged by racist Israeli rule- in particular the prisoners of Gaza; the men, women and children trapped in the world's largest open air prison camp, and being bombed by the Jewish State because racist Israel wants all Palestinians either silenced or gone.

In the spirit of all that I know of American laws and ideals I firmly and formally object to my tax dollars supporting the Jewish State and its state sponsored terrorism- its blatantly racist war on the people of historic Palestine. I know that life is not fair- but at least we can try to be fair in all our dealings- and we must denounce injustice where ever it might be found. Right now it is found everywhere that our well funded, heavily armed, nefarious 'friend' Israel can reach... Racist Israel's reach is strangling and intentionally destroying the men women and children of historic Palestine.

Please stop idolizing the Jewish State with our hard earned tax dollars! Please stop investing in the institutionalized bigotry and Apartheid that is Israel today.

"When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promise" MLK

and that promise has to help free Palestine....

"I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." " MLK

Please help the harshly oppressed and persecuted people of historic Palestine, including the many Palestinian men, women and children so cruelly imprisoned in Gaza. Please help free ALL the people of historic Palestine by supporting full respect for basic human rights, including the right to leave- and the right to return.

FREEDOM & RETURN: A Rights Based Solution to building a just and lasting peace in the Middle East ... Not just the return (al-awda) of the refugees, but also a return to the rule of law and respect for human rights: For more than five decades Palestinian refugees and internally displaced have struggled for a solution to their plight based on UN resolutions and international law, including the right to voluntarily return to their homes and lands of origin from which they were displaced/expelled during wars in 1948 and 1967 and due to other Israeli policies of forced eviction, deportation, etc....

The Palestinian refugees' right to return to original homes and lands really is legal- and really is right:
Al-Awda FACT SHEET: The Right To Return, a Basic Right Still Denied

Please do not look away as so many did during the Nazi Holocaust- please step up to denounce the institutionalized bigotry, injustice and pervasive violence of the Jewish State.

Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab
