ADL to U.S.: Freeze seaport contract with UAE due to Israel boycott

[DemFromMem]

By Shlomo Shamir, Haaretz Correspondent, and The Associated Press

The Anti-Defamation League is demanding the American administration prevent a Dubai-owned corporation from operating seaports in the United States until the United Arab Emirates issues an official statement indicating it has abandoned the boycott of Israel.

"Dubai continues to be an active partner in the economic boycott of Israel," ADL Director Abraham Foxman told Haaretz on Tuesday.

"This fact alone is reason enough to suspend or even cancel the implementation of the contract ," Foxman said.

U.S. President George Bush said Tuesday he remains supportive of a UAE-based company's takeover of some U.S. port operations, even though a new, more intensive investigation of the deal's potential security risks has yet to begin.

1. I have a business aquaintance ...

... whom I've known for about five years. He is an Orthodox Jew, and spends a lot of time in Israel.

We have had many heated debates about Bush, and he ALWAYS defends him on the basis that "he's a good friend to Israel and the Jewish people."

I can't WAIT to see him again, and ask him what his opinion is NOW!!!

7. The silent majority

80+% of American Jews voted for Kerry, but in our community neocons have gotten a lot of attention. Between this debacle, the AIPAC mess and Monsier Abramoff, I'm hoping that they go back into hiding.

3. How much clout does the ADL ????

8. Within the Jewish community, lots

And I'm tired of getting emails from my neocon Jewish friends about how much better Bush has been for Israel. Ask the average Israeli (and Palestinian) whether they feel safer under Bush than Clinton, and I think you'll get the same answer from both - Clinton.

9. Pretty soon Bush will have pissed off everyone in the known world

The Jews, the Arabs, Europe, the women, the gays, the real Republicans, everyone that's ever been to New Orleans, the entire city of New York, my oh my the list is long. Apparently it is is goal, his entire raison d'etre, to be not only the most incompetent, worthless, slow witted president ever but to be the most disliked. He really stuns.
