My fourth open letter herein is addressed to US citizens:
Netanyahu once was caught on video saying the US is easily manipulated. 121 countries voted for a ceasefire at the UN Ge neral assembly. The US, Israel and 12 other countries (most tiny ones dependent on US largess like Micronesia, Tonga, and Marshal Islands) voted no to cease fire. These minority 14 countries voted for continuing genocide and potentially voted for start of a regional and perhaps a global war.

The US is the biggest because it arms Israel and funnels more federal money to Israel on a per capita basis than to US citizens! Congress is now to act on senile President Biden's request to give Israel $14.8 billion more of US taxpayer money in weapons (he also sent weapons, US ships to start more wars, and US Delta forces to help Israel without approval). As a US citizen myself (lived in the US for over 25 years before returning to my country of birth in 2008), I am ashamed of the genocidal executive and legislative branches of the US government...

I'm an old Pogo fan. For some unknown reason I persist in outrage at Feudalism, as if human beings can do much better than this. Our old ways of life are obsolete and are killing us. Will the human race wake up in time? Stay (more...)
