-Caveat Lector- Assalamu'alaikum, Statement from the American Anti Discrimination Committee: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 Subject: Attacks on Washington, N.Y. Dear ADCers and Friends, As we woke up today to the tragic news of three plane crashes into N.Y.C and Washington, please allow me to share with you the following points that are an early statement of ADC Fresno: 1. We have been, for a long time, trying as Arab-Americans to bring to the attention of the American people the atrocities being committed around the world, using American weapons subsidized by our tax money, as is the case with Israel. Israel has been receiving in excess of $10 Million a DAY in aid, mostly in the form of guns and warplanes being used to terrorize the civilian population of Palestine. We have repeatedly warned that such policy will eventually bring the U.S. into this conflict as a direct party. The decision by successive U.S. administrations to ignore such atrocities, and the arrogance with which this administration has dealt with the issue only expedited this eventual confrontation. We have said it before, the children of Palestine are are left with no hope other than war against those gunning them down, and those supplying them with the means to do so. Violence begets violence! What do you expect when you wage war against a people that have done you no harm..?! 2. Regardless of early indications of responsibility, this has the appearance of a well-orchestrated attack on a global level. Whereas I would like to believe that Ben Laden (mentioned as a possible suspect already) is capable of logistically masterminding such an operation, I would not discount the prospect of the Mossad having a hand in this. Worldwide, public opinion has been steadily moving away from support of Israel, and has started seeing the Palestinians as the victims they are, in spite of substantial P.R. campaigns waged by Israel. This could very well be (another) attempt by Israel to demonize Arabs and Muslims, and to bringing them to a direct military confrontation with the U.S. The hope would be to turn public opinion around, enabling the current vicious Israeli government to quench Sharon's thirst for blood with a free hand and even more overt U.S. support. This should quiet down the criticism of the American people towards their governments collusion with Israel against Palestinian civilians..., so goes the theory. The Mossad has performed similar acts in the past, as has been documented by its own (Victor Ostrovsky- By Way of Deception), and I wouldn't be surprised if they had a hand in this one as well! Arab-Americans, in general, and Fresno area ADC members express their deepest sympathies and condolences to the victims of this attack and their families. Blood shed, on either side, is not something we stomach, and we condemn this attack, as well as the daily attacks against Palestinians in the occupied territories. We take this opportunity to call on all parties, again, to stop the cycle of violence that has spread beyond the immediate borders, as has been expected. We call upon the United States government to exercise its global responsibility by playing the role of moderator and bringing the parties to the negotiation table.

DEFINING APARTHEID Article 2 of the "International Convention of the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid" of 1973 clearly defined the term "crime of apartheid." This includes similar policies and practices of segregation and discrimination as practiced in South Africa and which also apply to inhuman acts committed for the purpose of the establishment and maintaining of domination by one racial group over another. This includes the deliberated imposition of living conditions calculated to cause physical destruction and any legislative or other measures preventing a racial group from full development of their political, social, economic and cultural life. This is an accurate description of what the zionists are doing to the Palestinian people with the full support of the USA. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
