July & August 1999 Guest
List
Let us not forget the purpose for the Ferderation. It is
not a political organization but a social and cultural one that
brings the Ramallah people closer as one FAMILY. Take a look at
the history section on this website and you will see no statement
of politics. Let us go to Orlando not to divide our people but to
be one Family and celebrate the men and women who work hard to
keep our family UNITED.

I agree 100% with Jamal's statement. We Palestinians in
America have become way to Americanized and liberal and to me,
alot of people have lost interest as well as respect for their
great Palestinian and Arabic backgrounds. To me, Palestine comes
before America even though I was born here and the interests of
the Arab people should come before anything. Alot of people
voiced their anger and protested against the recent Burger King
issue in Israel (occupied Palestine) so we should be smart and
use this as a model to voice simmilar anger and concerns about
all of the Jewish settlements and activities against Arabs in
general. I am sick and tired of various Arab-American
organizations that want to be very politically correct and nice
when voicing their concerns and frustrations. I really admire
James Zogby, George Salem, and others who are seen in the media
representing Arab concerns, but they are not being forceful and
vocal enough in confronting the people that are talking with
them; people that are very much against Palestinian and Arab
interests! We Arabs have nothing to hide and the entire world
knows that we are fighting a just cause and that we won't stop
until we get what we want. Hopefully, all of you that care about
Palestine and Arab interests in general will read this carefully
and understand what was said.......

re: protest at disney. if afrp wants to be *just* a social
club/organization, then that would be fine in as far as it does
not negatively contribute to the palestinian political struggle.
the old adage that "culture is politics" can never be
overstated. afrp has a repsonsibility towards the 'p' in afrp and
that is palestine and its national interest *must* come first.
let's not fool oursleves into apathy (disney is too big, we can't
change anything), or spiral ourselves further into defeat (we're
a small organization, embattled group of people, that just want
to be left alone). if you do not want to get involved into the
politics of palestine, realize, please, that your actions have an
effect on the future of palestine. if we are to err as an
organization, as a people, as a country, it should not be at the
expense of jerusalem. we can never be too protective or too
cautious about jerusalem. jerusalem is not a stock that you can
sell or buy on the new york stock exchange. if we are not
cautious and careful in preserving jerusalem as arab and
palestinian, then there will be very little left that is worth
fighting for. there's no palestine without arab jerusalem. afrp:
being in disney, silent, celebrating jerualem-israel, you are
being political -- where do you stand?

in response to the messages involving Disney- i think we
should enjoy the convention for what it is- a time of fellowship
- and leave all the publicity with disney out of it. by all
means- if you have a problem with what disney is doing- bring it
up to whoever but i dont believe the convention or the hotel
should have anything to do with it. its a time of celebration
with each other- not a time to picket with one of the largest
corporations.

I agree with Nabella Shunnarah, we should do something to
Disney while we are in Orlando. I suggest if the Federation has
guts to hold a protest at the hotel (which I believe is inside
Disney gorunds) and have them either bring someone from Disney
Board of Directors to speak to us or kick us out of the Hotel
using police or security to drag each one of us. I think 3,000
people holding a protest inside Disney will bring lots of
Publicity, and maybe a re-thinking of the position they are
presently taking.

going to be awesome. I've been to Florida lots of times and it is
sooooooooooooooooooo beautiful.(Believe me I am moving there)
Orlando has lots of stuff to do and if u go down there stop in
Miami and u could see a few stars and lots of Mercedes. Also,
anyone from Cleveland better come to the St. Elias Middle East
Festival. It's always fun and the Debka group will rock the floor
with some sweet moves once again.

In regards to Nabella Shunnarah's comments about initiating
protests against Disney and posting leaflets, I would like to
make a few comments. One of the main reasons that Disney is so
called "anti-Arab" is because its CEO, Michael Eisner,
and many of its other executives are Jewish. Its going to be very
difficult to change their views, especially through the use of
posting leaflets. Disney is one of the largest companies in the
world and posting leaflets is not going to put a damper into
their business. Im not suggesting that you leave this issue
alone, all I am saying that another approach to this matter would
be effective. Maybe some of the fellow Arabs who visit this site
could suggest some ideas... Peace!

Sunny D, CA USA - Wednesday, August 11, 1999 at 00:37:12 (PDT)
Hi to all future conventioneers! I just want to remind all
of you about Disney's continued disdain for Arabs. Disney is
planning to erect a new attraction advocating that the city of
Jerusalem be made the capital of Israel. Keep this is mind while
we are in Orlando, funding Disney anti-Arab tactics. Disney,
according to the ADC, is the only entity that has blatantly
refused to cooperate with ADC in its practice of portraying Arabs
as shady characters in popular films. And now Disney is using The
Mouse to promote making Jerusalem the capital of Israel. I think
we should make leaflets opposing this tactic and place them in
strategic places while we are touring the city and the park next
convention. Also, a letter writing campaign could make a
difference. Salaam to all.

Hello and marhaba to all Ramallah people and Arab people
all across the US and around the world. The Palestinian state is
coming soon and we all should be preparing for it by investing
our money, our time, and our expertise to help it succeed. It
will never succeed if Palestinians (here in America or in other
places of the world) ignore it and don't care about it. We must
all do our part in making sure Palestine becomes an economically
and politically strong state. Invest in the Palestinian stock
market or go and start a technology-based business over there
that will make money for you and at the same time, modernize the
civil infrastructure. We Arabs have alot of money all around the
world, but it has not been used properly for the benefit of our
countries. By the way, another way that you could contribute to
the eventual state of Palestine without investing money would be
to go and invest your skills and academic background to help in
the rebuilding and improvments that are currently going on. Lets
make Palestine into what it should be: the Hong Kong of the
Middle East!!

I would like to pose a suggestion for future convention
planners to think about. I think it would be interesting and
beneficial to include some informative items during the days of
the convention. There is a lot of time to do these things. For
example, I think it is important for us (both those that go back
to Palestine and those who don't) to have a sit in on Ramallah.
This could include pictures, stories, discussions and most
importantly elders who lived their to share their experiences.
Some other things may include, seminars on investing in Ramallah,
group trips to ramallah, news events in Ramallah and the politics
of the Middle East. These things could teach people about things
they should know as well as allow us to be more active in the
community. I think some of these ideas could be discussed here
more. We should use this area as a forum for ideas for future
efforts with conventions as well as Ramallah. Let's face it,
conventions are fun and great, but we would not have any
conventions if it were not for Ramallah.

Glad to see the guestbook is back up. For my fellow youth
members, Pleasure Island in Orlando is nothing but a bunch of
clubs. Each one plays a different style of music. I can't wait to
have everyone down here in Florida!

I read the comments from the "youth" about no
clubs in Clevland and just wanted to let you all know that
Pleasure Island is nothing but clubs. They have a bunch of them,
each one playing a different type of music. Glad to see the
guestbook is back and can't wait to have everyone down here in
Florida.

HELLO TO ALL MY RELATIVES! I just wanted to say that
Cleveland was fun! I think that Chicago was one of the main
reasons that the convention was a blast!! Also lets try to keep
this guestbook clean, so as to stop ruining our image as educated
Arab-Amaticans.

I just want to thank all the people that are working hard
at making this a clean and informational site. Without it, it
would be hard to see what is going on in our arab life. This will
effect the young and the old,especialy our childern ( Which I am
a proud father of three boys), I want them to understand the true
meaning of Palestine and the history of it as well. With the help
of all of you it will work. " Lets keep it clean". Your

I love you, my brother, whoever you are -- whether you
worship in your church, kneel in your temple, or pray in your
mosque. You and I are all children of one faith, for the divers
paths of religion are fingers of the loving hand of one Supreme
Being, a hand extended to all , offering completeness of spirit
to all, eager to receive all.
