AMERICAN TASK FORCE ON PALESTINE (ATFP)

(snip)

“As part of any comprehensive settlement ending the conflict,” says ATFP, “Israel should accept its moral responsibility to apologize to the Palestinian people for the creation of the refugee problem. Palestinians should accept that this acknowledgment of responsibility does not undermine the legitimacy of the present-day Israeli state.”

ATFP was a signatory to a MAY 20, 2004 “Joint Muslims/Arab-American Statement on Israeli Violence in Gaza,” which “strongly condemn[ed]” Israel’s “indiscriminate killings of innocent Palestinians, including many children,” and its “demolition of Palestinian homes.” The statement made no mention of the fact that the Israeli Defense Force’s home demolitions are entirely related to anti-terrorist measures.

ATFP’s President and Founder Ziad Asali was formerly President of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. ATFP’s Vice President is Columbia University professor of Middle East Studies Rashid Khalidi, the former Director of the PLO press agency and onetime moderator of the PLO Advisory Committee.

A notable member of the ATFP Board of Directors is George Salem, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Arab American Institute.

A senior fellow with ATFP is Hussein Ibish, who from 1998-2004 served as Communications Director for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, and from 2001-2004 was Vice President of Sami Al-Arian’s National Coalition to Protect Political Freedom.
