Confronting Responsibility for the Suffering in Iran - 11.12.2026

America, Britain and Israel must confront their responsibility for the suffering of the Iranian people. Their history of intervention, aggression and political interference has helped create the conditions for decades of hostility.

In 1953, Britain and the United States helped overthrow Iran’s democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammad Mosaddegh, after he nationalized Iran’s oil industry. They restored and supported the Shah, whose repressive regime used the secret police, Savak, to terrorize Iranians. This repression contributed to the revolutionary upheaval of 1979.

Subsequent Israeli assassinations of Iranian leaders and scientists further intensified hostility. Now American and Israeli military attacks, including reports of strikes involving civilian areas and a girls’ school, have brought further death and devastation.

Who bears responsibility for this tragic history? The Iranian people are not collectively guilty for the actions of their government. Ordinary families, children and innocent civilians must not pay with their lives for the ambitions and mistakes of powerful governments.

America, Britain and Israel must acknowledge their historical responsibility, stop the violence, respect international law and pursue diplomacy. There must be accountability, not another generation of grief.

This is an appalling waste of human life.



How Many More Palestinians Must Die Before The World Acts? - 11.12.2026

The Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital in Gaza, killing at least six people, including surgeon Dr. Rizo Abu Shaira, and wounding 20 others, is another devastating reminder of the suffering Palestinians endure.

Hospitals must be places of healing, not death and destruction. The testimony of Dr. Ayman Abu Obeid, describing the terrifying destruction of hospital rooms where medical workers were sleeping, should shake the conscience of humanity. Medical professionals risk their lives to save others. They must be protected, not killed.

Reports that at least 1,600 Palestinians have been killed since last October's ceasefire demand urgent international scrutiny and accountability. The continuing violence in Gaza and the West Bank makes a mockery of the promise of peace.

The world must remember the Holocaust's most fundamental lesson: never again must any people endure persecution, dehumanization and mass killing. America, Europe and Australia must stop enabling violence through their political and military support. Bible teachings and the teachings of God demand compassion, justice and protection of the innocent.

When will our governments find the moral courage to act, protect Palestinian lives and support an independent Palestinian state?



Sovereignty Over Greed: Why Venezuela’s Oil Belongs to Its People - 11.12.2026

Stealing Venezuela’s oil and plundering its national wealth is an act of imperial aggression, not justice. Might does not make right. Exploiting an entire nation for its resources is a grave crime against its people, a betrayal of humanity and everything Christ taught. No nation has the right to rob another. International law, human dignity and justice must prevail over greed and military power.

Beyond Temporary Aid: Why Palestinians Deserve a Dignified, Sovereign Life - 11.12.2026

Palestinians must receive everything necessary for a dignified and decent life: hot, nutritious meals, sturdy and weatherproof homes, electricity, clean running water, sanitation, heating, medical facilities, schools and all essential public amenities. Temporary tents and humanitarian handouts cannot become a permanent substitute for normal human living. Palestinian children deserve warm beds, safe homes, education, electricity and the opportunity to grow up with hope and security. The basic amenities and quality of life enjoyed by Israelis must also be made available to Palestinians. Equality, dignity, freedom and security cannot be privileges reserved for one population. Palestinians deserve nothing less than a full, peaceful and prosperous life in their own sovereign state.

Israel Must Answer for Its Crimes — Not Only October 7 - 11.11.2026

The demand for an inquiry into October 7 must not become an excuse to ignore decades of violence, dispossession and oppression against Palestinians. Israel must confront its entire history, beginning with the 1948 Nakba and the actions of armed Zionist organizations, including Irgun and Lehi, whose attacks contributed to the displacement of Palestinians.

Today, extremist settler groups, including the Hilltop Youth, terrorize Palestinian communities in the West Bank with apparent impunity. Since October 7, the destruction and mass killing in Gaza, widespread starvation, forced displacement and brutal occupation have raised grave accusations of genocide and crimes against humanity.

Why are the Israeli government, religious leaders and rabbis so often silent? Surely the teachings of Judaism, like those of other great religions, should inspire compassion, justice and respect for human life. Palestinians should not be forced to live in torn tents, deprived of food, bombed and terrorized with weapons supplied by the United States and European countries.

Israel must be held accountable. The United States, AIPAC and European governments must stop enabling these abuses. The world must demand justice, equal rights and an independent Palestinian state.



Gaza And West Bank: Palestinian Children Are Still Being Killed - 11.11.2026

The killing of palestinian children and civilians by israeli forces must end immediately. At least eight palestinians, including a father and his 13-year-old son, have been killed in Gaza despite the so-called ceasefire brokered by the United States. More than 1,600 palestinians have reportedly been killed since the agreement began last October.

The suffering extends beyond the bombing. Gaza’s destroyed sewage and drainage systems are causing toxic floods that threaten thousands of displaced families, especially children. This humanitarian catastrophe is entirely preventable.

In the occupied West Bank, israeli soldiers have killed 14-year-old Moataz Iyad Daghlas and wounded two other teenagers. Meanwhile, illegal israeli settlers are burning palestinian vehicles and terrorizing entire villages. The United Nations has warned that settler violence has reached unprecedented levels.

America and its allies cannot continue providing political, military and financial support while palestinian children are killed and families are driven from their homes. A ceasefire must mean an end to attacks, unrestricted humanitarian assistance and accountability for those responsible.

The United States must demand an end to the occupation and take concrete action toward establishing an independent palestinian state with equal rights, freedom and dignity.



Providence Has Sent A Message Washington Must Hear - 11.11.2026

The people of Providence have delivered a powerful message that should reverberate throughout America. By electing Democratic Socialist David Morales as mayor and overwhelmingly approving divestment from investments linked to genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing and illegal occupation, voters have demonstrated that conscience and justice still matter.

This is more than a local election. It is a moral challenge to every American institution that continues to finance oppression while claiming to defend democracy and human rights. The people have spoken: public money must not support the destruction of Palestinian lives, homes and futures.

The United States bears enormous responsibility through its political, military and financial support for Israel. American taxpayers must not be compelled to subsidize policies that violate Palestinian rights and international law.

Washington must follow Providence's example. End complicity in genocide, halt weapons transfers that facilitate atrocities, demand accountability and recognize the Palestinian people's inalienable right to freedom, equality, dignity and self-determination.

Justice cannot be selective. Palestinian lives matter. The time for American action is now.
