To receive MER regularly email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - - - - - - - - - - FlashBack to May 1998 WASHINGTON SCENE: ADC AND "THE QUILT"* "I WENT AND SAW... IT WAS SO PATHETIC... I DIDN'T EVEN STAY... IT WAS SO DEMORALIZING." Palestinian Student, Columbia University MER - WASHINGTON - 5/18: For months the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination has been touting "the Quilt"*, its major effort in this the 50th anniversary year of Israel's creation and the Palestinian "disaster". Last Friday ADC culminated its grand effort by unveiling "The Quilt" outside the U.N. But no one seemed to notice, hardly anyone even came (even though it took place the day after Israel's latest shooting of hundreds of Palestinians), and actually the police outnumbered the protestors many times over. It really was rather "pathetic" to quote one student activist. Though he had gone planning to participate, "It was so demoralizing...I didn't even stay" he dejectedly concluded. [Those seeking more background about all this, and why it is politically significant, should refer to the MER April article titled "Deir Yassin Remembered and 'The Quilt'-- Always too late, too little, too weak, and too co-opted" available at the website: www.MiddleEast.Org]. * "The Quilt" was sewn from patchs and meant to symbolize Palestinian villages that are no more. NOTE TO READERS: These matters relating to organizations in Washington are important not so much because of the inividual incidents but because these "client organizations" increasingly spung up the efforts, monies, and hopes of many, nearly always channeling everything in unimportant, non-controversial, and inconsequential directions. They are in fact the representatives of the Arab "client regimes" that nurture, sponsore, and control them. Furthermore, because of the growing censorship combined with the behind-the-back rumor-mongering engaged in by ADC, AAI (The Arab American Institute), and what are now a stable of Washington-based "client organizations" -- both Arab and Jewish -- MER is paying considerably more attention to the Washington scene. Just like there are "client-regimes" in the Middle East itself, there is now a network of funded and controlled "client-organizations" as well, both in the region and in Washington. Simply said: honest, principled, sophisticated people truly concerned about the Middle East want to, and need to, know about these things. So MER will be paying more and closer attention. Upcoming: "The Co-opting of Muslim organizations." From previous MER article: "It's so unfair... After 50 years the Israelis have nuclear weapons, the Mossad, Hollywood, a kosher White House, and their own Assistant Secretary of State; while the Arabs have corruption, secret-police, pathetic Arab-American organizations, Arafat, and the 50th anniversary quilt!" "The ADC Convention Program is designed to suit diplomats and well-known Arabs and is tasteless." 21 ADC "Chapter Presidents" in letter demanding major changes recently sent to ADC HQ in Washington .
