Dear Friends,
I want to share this message from 1988 all the way to 2024!!! I was truly honoured to have an opportunity to record this beautiful song with one of the greatest legends of soul music - Rev Al Green!
So here we both are…
sending out the most powerful message we humans have to share.
With LOVE we can make GREAT THINGS happen in life.
Without LOVE we are reduced to nothing.
Check in with your LOVE quotient with every breath!

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!!!
Love Annie

Dear friends
Thank you SO much for the outpouring of love on my recent post about my 70th birthday on Dec 25th!
It’s truly moving to know that our/my music has touched so many lives in so many ways and equally moving that the BBC would decide to dedicate an entire night to broadcasting a selection of these moments.
We’ve been inundated with messages asking about sending birthday gifts!
So here’s a suggestion-if you feel so inclined!!
Please consider giving a donation to:

@thecirclengo - A charity I founded 16 years ago to support the rights of women and girls globally ( fundraising link in my bio and attached to this post)

@unrwa - Agency for Palestine Refugees. The largest humanitarian organisation on the ground in Gaza (link in their bio)

@fundakitchengaza - A free tool to help to find and fund community kitchens across Gaza (link in their bio)

@Rescue_uk - Responding to the world’s worst crises - helping people to survive, recover and rebuild their lives. (link in their bio)

@careOrg - Working alongside women, girls and their communities to save lives, overcome poverty and achieve social justice. (link in their bio)

@HumantiProject - A grass-roots collective advocating for Collective liberation, through sharing resources and strategic actions to mount political and societal pressure to invoke meaningful change.

Your donation will literally change peoples lives.

I know it’s a very difficult time for many people globally so this isn’t in anyway an ‘ask,’ but if you want to send something to mark my 70th birthday this would be the BEST gift of ALL!!
Sending out so much LOVE and APPRECIATION from Annie ❤️

Dear Friends,
As you know, I’ve devoted much of my Instagram page to calling for ‘ceasefire’ for over a year, so it’s quite unusual for me to post about anything else.
However… I’m actually turning 70 on Dec 25th and the BBC has VERY thoughtfully decided to broadcast a collection of interviews and performances given underneath their hallowed halls from WAY back in the day before we all had handheld gadgets. So if you’re feeling nostalgic, I just wanted to give you a heads up…It’s a DEEP dive.

Dear Friends,
The situation in Gaza is essentially subhuman and unbearable.
We witness and are absolutely beyond appalled that this nightmare of nightmares is being forced upon innocent civilians - women and children..

Dear Friends,
I’m sure like me, you must be struggling to come to terms with information like this.
Each balloon represents a child who has lost one limb - at LEAST!
I don’t think it’s possible for those outside Gaza to even begin to imagine the devastating pain and suffering innocent children in Gaza are being forced to endure. We can use descriptive words, like ‘apocalyptic’ - and even then it falls short!
That is why it’s REALLY important that we stay with the call for ‘ceasefire’….
What kind of world are we living in that tolerates, pays for and supports this?
Where tens of thousands of children have had their limbs blown off…in hellish circumstances where there is no anaesthetic - No aid..No food…No medical supplies..
What kind of words could even begin to describe these balloons and what they represent???

Dear Friends,
There are no words left.
We ALL caught up in this genocidal apocalypse whether we realise it or not.
Witness what we humans are capable of creating…
Hellscape upon hellscape.
We cry for ceasefire into a void of indifference on a global scale.
Where is the humanity?
Where is the compassion? Where is the moral compass??
Where is the outrage and condemnation????!!!
The global leaders?
The politicians?
The religious leaders?
The media?
SHAME ON THEM ALL!!!!!

Dear Friends,
No surprises here. How on earth could the children of Gaza feel any other way???
Imagine putting your own children in HELL…
That’s what the last year has amounted to in Gaza.
I could make a list of the conditions they are exposed to, but you already know what is taking place.
How can the world be SO cruel - SO indifferent to their suffering??
The notion of ‘Human Rights’ appears to mean nothing at all.
And volunteer doctors who have been working in Gaza are now being threatened for speaking up for reporting their experiences!!!

Dear Friends,
Each day that passes brings news of unimaginable
horror.. Those of us beyond Gaza stand by and witness what’s taking place, while we continue to share - speak up - protest and call the genocide out for what it is.
While the leaders and governments of countries with the power to make this stop, have gaslit, denied , lied and fascilirated this carnage!
1,151 healthcare workers killed over 435 days = 3 every single day.
If this was happening anywhere else, I suspect you’d be reading coverage in every newspaper…
Don’t allow the unacceptable to become ‘normal’!
This is not ‘normal’ - It’s genocidal.

Dear Friends,
The endless bombardment continues… Channel Four seem to be stepping up to the plate. Even the BBC have started broadcasting news about Gaza.. either Syria and Lebanon mixed in.
What a TERRIBLE year 2024 has been for the people of Palestine - the hostages and their families..and Israel must be feeling the weight of a genocide taking place right next door. Everything is de-stabilised…

Dear Friends,
Today marks the 76th year since the UN adopted the Genocide Convention - a treaty created after the horrors of the Holocaust, to ensure such mass atrocities never happened again.
‘NEVER AGAIN’ it said… but genocide continues till this day.
Please take a moment to read Amnesty International’s report. @amnestyuk
No human being should EVER be treated as ‘sub - human’.
No ‘race’ or ‘population’ should EVER be deliberately ‘decimated’ or ‘eradicated’!
We’ve ALL been witnessing this for well over a year now!
If you have a shred of humanity, you’ll find this intolerable - deeply immoral and profoundly unacceptable!
Where are the religious leaders?? Even the Pope has made statements for ceasefire and an end to this bloodbath.

Dear Friends,
So there seems to be a very significant weight put upon the word ‘genocide’. It makes me wonder - how many children, women and men must be blasted, burned, starved, orphaned, wounded, disfigured, injured, shredded and dehumanised before the USA the UK, the EU, CANADA etc actually recognise that it’s time to call for CEASEFIRE ????
How much blood must be shed? How many more lives destroyed??? What will it take to STOP this hideous carnage?? Palestinians are HUMAN BEINGS just like YOU and ME!!! NOT ANIMALS!!!
SHAME on the WHOLE WORLD for not preventing this HORROR SHOW !!!
