October 18, 2010
| No Comments
| Categories: Anti Hate Center, Features, In the Media

The Anti-Defamation League, which describes itself as the premier civil rights organization fighting anti-Semitism, recently published list of the “top ten most influential anti-Israel groups in America.” Ahmed Rehab discusses what this move says about the real mission of the organization. “The ADL is slowly but surely shifting its focus from fighting real bigotry to doing public relations work for the government of Israel, including shilling for its illegal occupation of Palestinian territories,” says Rehab.

Huffington Post, Ahmed Rehab: More Outrage Over Helen Thomas Comment Than Murder of US Citizen

June 9, 2010
| No Comments
| Categories: Features, In the Media

“There is more outrage in this country over some bumbling comments recently made by Helen Thomas than over the murder of a US citizen and eight others by our ally, Israel, on the high seas. Never mind the fact that she has apologized while Israel still refuses to apologize,” writes Ahmed Rehab.

“Helen Thomas epitomized the role of the people’s reporter, a woman who was not afraid to ask tough questions that other reporters were too meek or politically correct to ask.”

NBC News: The Gaza Incident and Prospects for Peace

June 2, 2010
| No Comments
| Categories: Features, In the Media

“The irony is not lost on me that Israel would argue self-defense in a situation where it attacks peace activists in international waters,” said Ahmed Rehab, of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

“The United States should recognize, as Israel’s ally, that it must demand that Israel plays by our standards of respect for human rights and international law.”

Chicago Tribune, Ahmed Rehab: Do actions of the 'Jewish state' represent Jewish values?

June 1, 2010

| Categories: Features, In the Media

“Israel is often dubbed “the Jewish State” by its supporters, so it is not out of left field to question whether its actions should be taken as a reflection of Jewish values,” writes Ahmed Rehab.

CAIR: President Obama Must Condemn Gaza Flotilla ‘Massacre’

June 1, 2010
| No Comments
| Categories: Features, Press Center

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today urged President Obama to condemn what the Muslim civil rights group called an Israeli “massacre” of civilians on a flotilla of ships in international waters seeking to bring humanitarian aid to the people of the Gaza Strip. Israeli commandos killed at least 10 civilians in a pre-dawn raid on the flotilla.

Israel’s attack on the flotilla has already been condemned by the international community.

SUN-TIMES: Conflict in Israel, Palestine is political — not religious

February 28, 2010
| No Comments
| Categories: Features, In the Media, Media Monitor

Amina Sharif writes, “The conflict in Israel and Palestine is political, not religious. It is not between Jews and Muslims; it is between the government of Israel and the people of Palestine (who are Muslim and Christian).

“In reality, many Jews — even in Israel — sympathize with the Palestinians and criticize their own government’s policies toward Gaza and the West Bank.”

Israel’s kind acts in Haiti create double-standard

February 12, 2010
| No Comments
| Categories: Features, In the Media, Media Monitor

In his op-ed Nasatir highlights the amazing efforts by Jews in America and Israel in the humanitarian crisis in Haiti and for this, I truly commend them. But what about the humanitarian crisis in Palestine? Israeli checkpoints violate Palestinians’ basic human rights by denying medical vehicles and services. This contrasts sharply with Israel generously building a hospital in Haiti.
