NATIONAL EMERGENCY MOBILIZATION ON PALESTINE

May 13 and 14, 2002

---

Hosted by the Arab American Institute &
the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee

In the next few weeks it is imperative for U.S. citizens concerned about the current situation in Palestine to join together. We must speak out against congressional bills and letters that are aimed at undermining U.S. relations with the Palestinian leadership and Arab countries and support legislation that advocates a balanced approach to the crisis. We must also encourage the U.S. government to support humanitarian efforts in Palestine. Speakers include: Nabil Shaath, Palestinian Authority Minister of Planning and International Cooperation, Michael Tarazi and Diana Buttu, legal advisors, the Palestine Liberation Organization’s (PLO) Negotiations Affairs Department, Adam Shapiro, the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), John Zogby, Zogby International, among others.

For those planning to attend, a crusader flag is basically a white field with a red-orange cross on it, offset by a third or so towards the pole or lance holding the flag...

ping

[claptrap]

Wouldnt it be fun to devise a suicide e-mail bomb and send it to these (*%#@$%#$"'s) and have it consume their computers hard drives?

[claptrap]

I wonder if they would accept my organization A.F.A.M.F.W. as a sponsor? (Americans for a Muslim Free World)

[Diogenesis]

There is Zogby, fixing his poll data as usual for his biased goal.

[NCDoc]

Adam Shapiro?

[appleton14]

Where do I send my donation to your organization?

[appleton14]

Are Jews welcome?

[medved]

I'm assuming that a Jewish crusader flag would be an orange-red star of David on a white field, offset about 30% or thereabouts towards the lance or other staff bearing the flag...

bump

Probably shouldn't be bumping my own thread but there's a short fuse on this one if any D.C. freepers are interested in attending.
