Thank you Abubaker Abed for your courage and strength in telling the truth of the pain and suffering all Palestinians are still going through today, after over a year of such heinous atrocities and dire circumstances.

It is unimaginable that the US could be complicit in such a sadistic genocide. Yet the U.S. acted the same way in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya and in the South American countries. It is a shameful truth that racism still exists to such a horrifying extent that countries all over the world can watch the horror and do nothing. It is also a shameful truth that the US and other western countries are still colonial settler empires and that the U.S. is the lead imperialist in the world. It appears that the U.S. government still has a stranglehold on all of the rest of the countries in the world, such that none dare to act in the UN to expel Israel and financially sanction it.

The U.S. has the veto in the UN Security Council and has used it numerous times to stop resolutions for ceasefires. The U.S. neocons are driving this sadistic slaughter of Palestinian children and their families to the point of allowing starvation to be used as a weapon of war. The U.S. and Israel have broken every international law, humanitarian rights law, threatened the International Criminal Court judges and disrespected the International Court of Justice. The U.S. government is even breaking our own laws and lying to us every day.

Why, because “we the people” are allowing it. The U.S. government has made all of us complicit in the most sadistic genocide ever perpetrated against innocent civilians and dared to start removing our First Amendment rights to free speech, freedom of assembly and a free press all to protect Israel, a foreign country.

In 1967 Israel knowingly bombed our USS Liberty and killed 34 and wounded 117 of our sailors. It has been proven that Israel knew they were bombing a U.S. ship through radio transmissions.

It’s time we all started learning about US imperialism and hegemony since World War II and educated ourselves on the horrors the US has perpetrated on countries worldwide for their natural resources. Educate yourselves on our true history and I think you’ll know what needs to be done to take our country back from the edge of a total loss of humanity and tolerance until we, like Israel, see everyone different from us or inconvenient as lesser human beings. Remember we’re all on a small planet in the universe and all we have is each other, no matter our faith, our race or nationality - we are in this world together. Isn’t it time we stood up for each other?!
