The World's Largest Concentration Camp

Dear President Obama

I would like to call to your attention the factt that the Israelis are acting like their oppressors, the Nazis. They have created the world's largest open air prison--Palestine. This is not so different from the Warsaw Ghetto of the late 1930s. The Israelis are acting like abused children and becoming abusers themselves.

The unemployment rate in Palestine is 50%, twice what we experienced in the US during the Great Depression. The Israelis are bombing Palestine indiscriminately with jet aircraft THe targets include UN buildings and a United Nations school.

They are denying the Palestinians food and medical supplies. The Israelis have created perfect conditions for incubating terrorists. None of this is so much different from Buchenwald or Treblinka. Only Palestine is a much larger concentration camp than the Nazis ever built.

Oor news media is reporting that Hamas, the legitimately elected government is a terrorist organization. Hamas was elected in a free and fair election watched by international agencies, including President Carter.

It is up to you to try to defuse this situation. It is time to end our bias toward Israel. It is time to stop supporting their war effort with cash and military hardware. This problem can only be solved with even-handed diplomacy. It's time for a real change in our Israeli policy.

This is one letter I really hope he reads and listens to. I have been talking about this a lot. Israel was so far out of line on their attacks on Gaza it was just amazing to me. How anyone could not see that was wild.
Thanks for writing this letter.
