History

The American Task Force on Palestine was founded in 2003 as the successor organization to the American Committee on Jerusalem (1995-2003.)[1][2] Rashid Khalidi was president of the AJC.[3][4]

*In early 2004, the Task Force helped promote and publicize the “Geneva Accords“ in the United States.

In November, 2004, AFTP President Ziad Asali served as a member of the United States official delegation to the funeral of Chairman Yasser Arafat.

He subsequently served as a member of the United States official delegation to observe the Palestinian Presidential elections in January 2005.

On February 10, 2005, Asali testified before a full committee hearing of the House International Relations Committee on “the way forward in the Middle East peace process.” (Asali was also a delegate with the National Democratic Institute (NDI) to monitor the Palestinian Legislative election in January 2006.

In February 2006 ATFP issued its vision for a Palestinian state, first published in the New York Times.

On October 11, 2006, ATFP held its first annual gala in Washington, DC, featuring keynote speaker Dr. Condoleezza Rice, also addressed by Sen. John E. Sununu (R-NH) and Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI).

Dr. Rice told an audience of 500, “I believe that there could be no greater legacy for America than to help to bring into being a Palestinian state for a people who have suffered too long, who have been humiliated too long, who have not reached their potential for too long, and who have so much to give to the international community and to all of us. I promise you my personal commitment to that goal.“

In December, 2006, a 10-member delegation from ATFP’s leadership traveled to the region and held substantive meetings with top political leaders including Jordan’s King Abdullah II, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and acting Israeli Prime Minister Tzipi Livni.

This is quite a connected organization. Why would Tareq Salahi be crashing the party?
