Is it for "white" arabs only?[edit]

I know Lebanese are a great deal European mixed as opposed to the concept of arab, but how come Lebanese-Americans tend to 'blend into' and live as whites and even downplay and arabness? I ask while almost knowing the answer and because many Lebanese-Americans do their best to blend into the US as white Americans and put anything Arabic under the rug. Kind of like the Maloof family or prcatically any Lebanese-American. For them to do such a thing would impy to me that they do not see htemselves as arabs, but as whites. They would also have a point.

Even the Arab-American League (James Zogby) refused to address this, but on their site you can get an idea of where they stand - whihc is with a concept of their being white. They only seem to deal with Arab-Americans who are closer to the European in appearance. It is almost like a white supremacy group within a non-white group.

Lieberman letter[edit]

It is here apparently in full: [1] [2]. Is one of these a citable source? The actual reason for the letter is not apparent in the JTA report. Zero^talk 03:42, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Lobbying on behalf of foreign Arabs and Muslims[edit]

On January 25 and 28, 2010, AAI and like-minded Arab-Americans and Muslim-Americans lobbied the United States Attorney General, and the Secretary of Homeland Security, respectively, on behalf of American and foreign Muslims as part of an agenda to undermine legislation adopted by the United States Congress relating to aviation security. ^[1] ^[2] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.183.125 (talk) 20:54, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"as part of an agenda to undermine..." sounds a bit sinister, doesn't it? The articles states that "leaders from national and local organizations representing these communities expressed concern about DHS policies, such as racial, ethnic and religious profiling at airports and the border, that have eroded the government's trust and credibility with the communities". Jmartinsson (talk) 17:24, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article should note The Anti-Defamation League identifies AAI as an anti-Israel protest group: http://www.adl.org/Israel/israel_protest_calendar_groups.asp —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.183.125 (talk) 03:25, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AAI is an anti-Semitic terrorist organization. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.183.125 (talk) 02:44, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that your dangerous obsession continues unabated. Dlabtot (talk) 03:27, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The citation link is dead[edit]
