I agree with Daoud Kuttab’s clear headed warning | PennLive letters
Regarding Daoud Kuttab’s clear headed warning “When hatred replaces hope, how can there be peace in Israel?” in the Sunday March 26, 2023 news. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s expansionist map reaching far beyond the Jordan River across all of Jordan and into parts of Lebanon and Syria really should be a wake up call to American supporters and politicians.
In 1948, after the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust the world came together to create the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as the “foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.”
Tragically, Israel has been violating the basic human rights of the native non-Jewish people of historic Palestine since 1948 by systematically impoverishing and displacing the native non-Jewish men, women, and children of historic Palestine.
Zionism is a state-sponsored project shaping freedom, rights, jobs, investments, and housing projects for Zionist Jews. Zionism clearly inspires and rewards religious extremism on every side. This situation is insane and wrong ... and very dangerous!
We should be funding real freedom and democracy and jobs here in America, and we should be collectively investing in freedom of and from religion: Respect and compassion for all God’s children, no matter what their names.
