Dear Friends,
I hope you’re all well…
Here in Los Angeles many people have been experiencing varying levels of anxiety, terror and loss. The homes of thousands have been burnt to ash. I’m sure you’ve seen all the images.
The news is filled with it.
Personally I’m slightly numb with shock. It’s truly dystopian and disturbing.
It has given me a more visceral reminder as to what uncontrollable ‘fire’ and ‘destruction’ looks and feels like close up.
So forgive me if I share this post with you. It wasn’t covered by the media and it will never be, because this precious child is a Palestinian in Gaza.
So while we focus on the fires in Los Angeles, let’s also not forget that ‘fire’ from bombs has been burning, mutilating and killing children for over a year now.
This is why we call for
CEASE FIRE NOW!!!!

Dear Friends,
Where we are today with regards to the conditions of the 2.2 million people of Gaza who are forced to endure 3 war crimes taking place at the same time!!
1. GENOCIDE
2. ⁠COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT and STARVATION
3. ⁠ETHNIC CLEANSING
Four major cities have been razed to the ground completely.
90 per cent of Gazans have been ethnically cleansed. Forced to leave their homes, they are barely surviving in the worst conditions imaginable.
They have no proper food and no clean water, as well as the dire situation with medical treatment and health care.
On average, every Gazan gets sick three times a month. There are almost no basic medical supplies and ‘shelter’ consists of flimsy, freezing, leaky tents.
No less than 55,000 people have been killed, including 17,000 children and at least 13,000 women.
108,000 people have been injured.
The number of Palestinians killed is larger than all the American wars since the war of independence in the USA. 86,000 tons of explosives have been dropped on Gaza, which means 36 kilograms of explosives for every man, woman and child.

Dear Friends,
Here are some of the sobering facts.
The numbers seem abstract, but behind each and every digit is a beloved son, daughter, husband, wife, child, grandparent…
Each number represents a human being with a vibrant life, with friends, family and community around them.
And each and every one of the innocent hostages taken represents exactly the same ‘being’ in community.
The difference being that ‘genocide’ and ethnic cleansing has been taking place for over a year. We’ve all been witnessing it, live streamed on our phones. The government has said so….clearly!
The Western powers are supporting it.. and Human Rights laws have been consistently ignored and defiled. And while you will read about the terrible fires in areas of Los Angeles today, across every media outlet. You’ll read almost nothing about the daily fires from bomb explosions across the Gaza Strip.
This is the world of denial and disparity we all live in.

Dear Friends,
I’m sharing this message from @markruffalo .
We are both passionate advocates for human rights and justice in a world that seems to be increasingly brutal and dystopian.
We both believe in ‘giving peace a chance’ - Neither of us are ‘anti - Semitic’….in fact, speaking for myself - I find that particular gaslighting insult to be deeply offensive, as I have ALWAYS been appalled by racism, bigotry or hatred of the ‘other’.
Being critical of the tactics of a government is just that.
In a democratic country, where there is free speech, you have the right to be critical of a government’s actions.
Genocidal intent has been clearly stated throughout the past year, with no holds barred in the both language and actions.
Mr Ruffalo and I are both supporters for artists4ceasefire.org @artists4ceasefire
We want to see the safe release of the hostages and we want to see an end to the killing of innocent civilians, who are neither ‘animals’ nor terrorists!
One action you can take now is to SHARE this post!
Love Annie ☮️

Dear Friends,
Do you know of any media outlets apart from Al Jazeera who have covered this?
If it were happening in any other country in the world, this would have made global headline news.
Physically, Gaza has been all but destroyed.
We have been witnessing a continuous genocide taking place in plain sight for well over a year. Remember that 70% of the victims are women and children.
If there are ANY international humanitarian principles or rules.. they’ve been discarded like trash.
I just want to see a permanent ceasefire and an end to all this destruction and carnage.
I still believe that collective popular opinion can make a tremendous difference despite the media indifference..That’s why I keep calling for Peace and ceasefire.
By sharing posts like this, you are shedding light on what is taking place.

Dear Friends,
I wish with all my heart that there will be a CEASEFIRE - and an end to this continuous nightmarish butchery.
Waking up every day for 15 months to see these images on repeat - over and over again is nothing short of dystopian.
At the same time, I just read that President Biden is proposing to offer a $6 billion leaving gift to President Netanyahu to purchase MORE ammunitions…
It beggars belief!

My wish for this coming year is to see an end to the suffering and destruction in every war torn part of the world…#ceasefire and peaceful solutions.
Meanwhile … Thousands of medical staff around the world are advocating for the safe return of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital who was abducted last Friday and taken to a detention and torture camp @dr.hussam73

Dear Friends,
Reflecting back on 2024 in Gaza…
Witnessing the endless destruction and brutality forcibly endured by the Palestinian people has been totally nightmarish.
But the additional horror factor has been the resounding silence and complicity from the leadership of countries who are all supporting this ongoing genocide.
It exposes the full extent of the global industrial weapons manufacturing system, coupled with the moral bankruptcy of politicians and media run by billionaire tycoons.
The deliberate slaughter, starvation, burning, suffering and persecution of children, women and men is abominable.
I wish to whatever powers that be for ceasefire and an end to this despicable horror show.

Dear Friends,
Everything is suffering in Gaza.
Suffering beyond anything you could imagine in your worst nightmares.
HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of Palestinians are forced to endure the most brutal of hardships, compounded by every torturous - hellish brutality under the sun.
Derelict makeshift ‘tents’ have become fridges of death for tiny babies born under siege!
I find it SO hard to share these unconscionable horrors, but shame and grief compels me to keep drawing attention to this genocide. Under YOUR WATCH
Keir Starmer ( former human rights lawyer) and David Lammy- genocide apologist.
And the leaders of every single Western power complicit in this appalling carnage!!!
SHAME ON YOU ALL!!!

Dear Friends,
Swipe through Instagram.
The images will haunt you forever…
To the Western press and media - who fail to cover these atrocities..To Keir Starmer - David Lammy and the UK Government..
If you have children…
Reflect on this.
Then ask yourself whether you have any decency, courage, compassion or humanity?
Stop killing innocent children!!!
Stop killing their mothers and fathers!!

Dear Friends,
We live in a sick world, where international humanitarian laws have been discarded.
Where humanitarian workers are targeted while trying to rescue babies, children, women and men trapped underneath the rubble of their former homes, schools, hospitals and places of worship… in fact… EVERY part of Gaza, where there is NOWHERE safe and every rule in the book has been disregarded. We have witnessed it ALL live streamed.
The disproportionality is SO extreme. The carnage SO relentless… And ALL this happens with the support and complicity of Western governments. It is a shameful and dystopian genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Every single humanitarian organisation including Medecins Sans Frontiers- Oxfam and Amnesty International is condemning of what is taking place.
Yet ‘STILL it continues both day and night’!!

Dear Friends,
As Xmas is just around the corner, the stores are packed with last minute Xmas shoppers..
While in Gaza, crowds of desperate people stand in the rain for hours for whatever they can get in order to survive starvation…
Meantime the bombing, burning, killing and destruction continues each and every day.

@rescue_uk will triple each donation. Go to rescue.org
to give your Xmas gift to Gaza, no matter how small or big!!!
