Baha Rahal
This letter will most likely not reach the White House mailbox, and if it does, there's a good chance it will end up in the hands of an employee or a letterbox security guard who will toss it into a trash can, unconcerned with what's written. And if it does make it, language will no longer be a barrier. The world has changed. Language or geography are no longer the barriers between peoples. All US President Donald Trump needs to do is take a picture of the letter, upload it to an artificial intelligence website, and it will read it as if it were written in a language it understands.
Mr. Trump, we in Gaza are not experiencing an ordinary war; we are being annihilated. For more than 584 days, we have been crushed under relentless fire, under a tight siege imposed on all sides, amid an international silence harsher than the American bombs and missiles that your country sends to the occupation. We are suffering from hunger and thirst, and our children have died of hunger, lack of medicine, and the loss of all means of subsistence, in squalid tents and shelters unfit for human habitation.
Mr. Trump, we in Gaza are dying as a result of the war of extermination and revenge pursued by Netanyahu and his racist government. As you know, your country's weapons are the most lethal for killing and slaughtering us, and your country's biased policies provide cover for the occupation and its government in all international forums. Your supportive positions are the reason for the continuation of our extermination and killing. As you know, thanks to your biased policies, the world fears you and your wrath. That is why the positions of countries are neutral, and some support the occupation from behind the scenes. Even friends and some brothers, out of their intense fear of your country, remain silent and have not seriously intervened to stop our extermination.
Mr. Trump, we in Gaza know that you know, and that you have witnessed and continue to witness the massacres and slaughters being committed. This would not have happened without your country's silence and support, both economically and militarily. As you know, the massive support your country has provided since October 2023. Your country has been the most generous supporter, opening its stores in the Middle East and sending warships, aircraft, experts, and soldiers.
Mr. Trump, as you visit our Arab region and are being honored by kings, princes, and Their Highnesses, remember Gaza. You can impose a ceasefire and curb the hateful Netanyahu, who refuses to stop the genocide, citing your country's unlimited support. Will you do it and stop the genocide, so that those who remain alive can escape death?
Mr. Trump, we in Gaza are being killed with your weapons, and the killers are escaping international and criminal courts due to your policies, your support, and the cover you provide at every international and UN forum. This is unfair and unjust. We know that, and we do not expect fair positions from your country. We are aware of its constant, biased, and supportive positions. But you can stop our annihilation with your country's weapons, and allow international courts to try the killers and criminals, so that they do not escape just punishment.
Mr. Trump, we in Gaza know that you are capable of stopping the war of extermination. Will you do so before you leave the Middle East? Or will you continue your silence, ignorance, and unconditional support for the occupation government, which only gives it more power to continue its killing without fear of accountability or punishment? Will you do so, Mr. Trump, and stop the war?
============================
Mr. Trump, we in Gaza are being killed with your weapons, and the killers are escaping international and criminal courts due to your policies, your support, and the cover you provide in every international and UN forum. This is unjust and unfair.
