LETTERS 

PLEASE CONSIDER WRITING YOUR OWN LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (AND TO POLITICIANS). IF YOUR LETTER GETS PUBLISHED, PLEASE SEND THE LINK TO OUR EMAIL: SabeelTree@gmail.com. THANKS!

• READ Therese Mughannam-Walrath’s powerful July 17, 2023 Letter to the Editor about Israel’s cruel and brutal attack on the Jenin refugee camp (it’s the 4th letter).

• Read the letter by NorCal Sabeel member Paula Rainey about similarities between migrants at the southern border and Jesus’ birth in the Alameda Sun (January 19, 2023).

• Read “Needless suffering,” a letter to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat (August 29, 2022) by NorCal Sabeel member, Therese Mughannam-Walrath. It’s about the Israeli attack on six Palestinian civil society organizations (e.g., Al Haq/the Truth and Defense for Children International-Palestine). Israel falsely accused them of being terrorist organizations and raided their offices, stole records, and welded doors shut.

• Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum is one of the few politicians who is willing to speak out about Israel’s treatment of Palestinians (she has sponsored three bills on this) and we invited her to speak in the webinar. She was unable to join us, but she sent us a letter of support December 10, 2020 , which you can read here.

• “This is what makes peace between the Israelis and Palestinians impossible” (LA Times, Feb. 25, 2021)
  In this letter NorCal Sabeel member, Barbara Erickson, focuses on how U.S. funding of Israel jeopardizes peace in Palestine/Israel.  You can read her letter here.  (Barbara’s letter is the second in the Letters section of this edition.)

• Read a letter to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat (September 28, 2020) by NorCal Sabeel member, Therese Mughannam-Walrath, about Arab countries signing a "peace deal" with Israel, a betrayal of Palestinians. (Therese’s letter is the fourth in the Letters section of this edition.)
