US Consulate takes racist decision
John Veldhuis - 09.08.2002 13:24
Een delegatie van Democraten en Republikeinen wordt geweigerd in Israel, voor de 2 Moslims in deze delegatie weigert het Amerikaanse consulaat in Oost Jeruzalem te interveniëren.
Congressional staffers requested that the U.S. Consulate in East Jerusalem intervene on behalf of the delegation. They were informed that the Consulate would intervene for everyone but the two American Muslims on the delegation. Khalid Turaani, Executive Director of AMJ, stated "I am sickened that representatives of my government
would condone Israel's blatant ethnic and religious profiling. The State Department consistently has winked at Israel's pattern of discrimination against and intimidation of American Muslims seeking to further peace and to provide humanitarian assistance to
Palestinians suffering under Israel's brutal military occupation."
