RE: Jewish condos rise in Jerusalem
http://www.washingtontimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080115/FOREIGN/502289712/1003

Dear Editor,

Your headline "Jewish condos rise in Jerusalem" is edging closer and closer towards revealing the real problems with our well funded 'friend' Israel.

Imagine if Christian-only housing established and supported by the US government started emerging in every community in what we the United States of America (plus many in Mexico as well as Canada)... and then imagine if we tweaked our laws and started only allowing Catholics to immigrate and freely move around to enjoy and benefit from the economic perks created by such preferential policies. I say Catholics because not all Jews are Zionists believing that there should be a "Jewish State".

Now imagine that in this day and age, when we have the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as well as Holocaust Museums everywhere explaining in detail the evils of institutionalized bigotry, imagine if as of today millions of non-Catholic Americans were forcibly evicted from their homes and communities and refused their inalienable legal and moral right to return.

Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab

RE: Jewish group slams Ms. magazine for rejecting ad: Highlighted leadership roles of Israeli women

Dear Editor,

Good to see media coverage of the very revealing story that Jewish group slams Ms. magazine for rejecting ad: Highlighted leadership roles of Israeli women.

Zionists have received far too much positive PR all over America...and thus a very foreign country has far too easily usurped far too much money and weaponry from hapless American taxpayers who have for the most part been deceived into believing "Israel" must be idolized and supported at every opportunity.

Thankfully more and more the information age has been steadfastly revealing racist Israel's very real crimes against the people of historic Palestine: One day I suspect the editors at MS might be wishing they had based their decision on the idea that maybe being "anti-Israel" isn't such a bad way to go... for everyone's sake.

Sincerely,

RE: 20 Palestinians, Mostly Fighters, Killed in Israeli Raids
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/15/AR2008011500329.html

Dear Editor,

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is right to classify the most recent, most obvious Israeli raid as a "massacre"...and our media is wrong not to notice that ALL Palestinians are trapped by racist Israeli laws and walls, trapped and seriously harmed by Zionist brutality.

In 1947 - 1948 hundreds of Palestinian villages were destroyed by Zionist terror, setting into motion the largest, longest running refugee crisis in the world today. Wanting the land but not the people of that land racist Israel refuses to respect the Palestinians' basic human rights, including but not limited to the Palestinian refugees' inalienable right to return to original homes and lands... Nothing has changed but the fact that now Zionists freely terrorize Palestinian refugee camps.

Zionists have been intentionally targeting and destroying the people of historic Palestine in every possible way for years and years- long predating the emergence of HAMAS... Why aren't we firmly condemning and denouncing the Jewish Jihad that has been systemically wrecking havoc in the Holy Land for the past 100 years?

Sincerely,

RE: Faith, Freedom and Bling in the Middle East by Maureen Dowd
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/16/opinion/16dowd.html?ref=opinion

Dear Editor,

Lost in the barrage of sarcastic jabs surrounding Bush's recent trip to the Middle East is the fact that he bothered with Palestine... and is it really so wrong to advocate freedom ! Steering the conversation away from the many ways that racist Israeli rule oppresses and torments the Palestinians, Dowd mainly helps Apartheid Israel continue its cruel quest to divide, demonize and destroy the people of historic Palestine.

Sincerely,

NOTES 1-16-2008

"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

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....
