Gabrielle Zamparini: Open Letter to United for Peace and Justice

Open Letter to United for Peace and Justice

Dear Leslie Kielson,
UFPJ-NYC

Dear Judith Le Blanc,
UFPJ National Co-chairperson


Thank you for your message. Even though I don’t live in your country anymore I am glad to receive your e-mails; it’s a good way to keep in touch with “the largest antiwar coalition in the United States”.

I am not a US citizen but since the American Empire is keeping the world under its boots, I hope you will take the time to read what I have to say.

In your e-mail you remind your supporters of the UN Secretary General Kofi Annan’s call for an immediate ceasefire. Immediately after you have the impudence to write: “Yesterday, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki condemned the Israeli aggression and called on the world to take action”.

Among all the heads of States and Governments you could mention [the entire world but the Axis Washington – London – Tel Aviv] why did you choose the PUPPET Prime Minister of Occupied Iraq?

Your organization wrote a letter to “Dear Ambassador Bolton”, the US Ambassador to the UN. In this letter, you write: “we want to express our concern over the escalating crisis between Israel, Lebanon, and Palestine”. Which “crisis” are you talking about? There is NO “crisis”, as all the world but United for Peace and Justice has far too well understood.

Your letter to “Dear Ambassador Bolton” continues: “We are gravely concerned about the loss of life on all sides. We condemn all attacks on civilians, and call for the release of political prisoners and POWs held on all sides in this conflict.” A masterpiece of hypocrisy.

Israel has been attacking civilians in Palestine since even before the State of Israel came to existence. Its “political aim is nothing less than the liquidation of the Palestinian nation” as John Berger, Noam Chomsky, Harold Pinter and José Saramago recently wrote. To use a more common word, GENOCIDE.
