Khalidi has one parent who was Christian Arab and maybe both
The gate crashing Salahis? I'm guessing he is 100% Christian Arab. His father got here in the 1940s. Muslims rarely immigrated back then
According to Wikipedia, Khalidi's mother was a Christian of Lebanese origin. But his father, named Ismail, was a Saudi citizen who was born in Jerusalem. Seems to me that would make him a Muslim by birth, since Islamic identity is considered to be partrilineal. Khalidi was the vice president of ATFP at the time of the 9/11 terror attacks, when the ATFP blamed them on US policy toward Israel.
BTW, the ATFP also supports the "right of return" of Palis to Israel, which, if implemented, would spell the end of Israel as a Jewish state. So much for their concept of a "two-state solution."
His father got here in the 1940s. Muslims rarely immigrated back then.
That's true, but Ismail Khalidi, Saudi citizen, was undoubtedly Muslim. I don't think that Saudis ever granted citizenship to Christians; if so, they couldn't practice their religion in Saudi Arabia anyhow.
Also, almost all the Christian Arabs immigrating to the US in the early twentieth century were from what is now Lebanon and Syria, usually not from Palestine and certainly not Saudi citizens.
This administration has Pepe le Pew coming up smelling like a rose.

Like Sirhan Sirhan? They picked their side in the fight long ago. (They regret it now, mind you. But they’re in too deep.)
