#TheBookOfKhalid (1911) is a novel by #ArabAmerican writer #AmeenRihani. Composed during a sojourn in the mountains of #Lebanon, it is considered to be the first novel by an Arab-American writer in English. His contemporary, #KhalilGibran, illustrated the work, and the story is often seen as an influence on Gibran's own well-known book #TheProphet.
It's not over yet... A pox on #Harris for not speaking out against #IsraeliWarCrimes and alienating #ArabAmericans!
House #GOP Moves to Ram Through Bill That Gives #Trump Unilateral Power to Kill #Nonprofits
Dozens of #Democrats still support the bill — giving the Republican-controlled House plenty of breathing room to pass it next week.
Noah Hurowitz
November 15 2024
"A controversial '#nonprofit killer' bill is back on track after it was blocked earlier this week.
"A majority of Democrats in the House of Representatives rejected the bill on Tuesday out of fear that it could grant President-Elect Donald Trump legal tools with which to target his ideological foes, but Republicans are swiftly pressing ahead.
"The #StopTerrorFinancing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, which would empower the secretary of the Treasury to designate any #nonprofit as a '#terrorist supporting organization' and revoke its tax-exempt status, is set to go before the Committee on Rules on Monday for a hearing that could tee up the bill for a new floor vote.
"The hearing was announced Thursday evening, just two days after 144 Democrats and one Republican voted against the bill as part of a fast-track parliamentary procedure that required a two-thirds majority.
"The bill, also known as #HR9495, has come under withering criticism from a broad coalition of organizations that say its sponsors are pushing it as a means of cracking down on free speech — particularly speech in support of #Palestine. In a joint statement earlier this week, a coalition of #ArabAmerican and #MuslimOrganizations pledged to continue to fight the bill.
"'This bill was designed to #criminalize organizations and #activists who oppose the U.S.’s unconditional support of #Israel’s #genocide of Palestinians and the slaughter of #Lebanese civilians,' read the statement, which was signed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, American Muslims for Palestine, and others. 'We will continue to stand firm in protecting all organizations’ freedom to speak and operate without fear of political retribution.'
"Offices for the chair and ranking member of the Ways and Means Committee, through which the bill must pass, did not respond to requests for comment.
"With #ProIsrael groups lobbying for the bill, it gained popularity among House Democrats, in part due to a provision providing tax relief to Americans held hostage abroad.
"The reelection of Trump, however, galvanized opponents, including Rep. #LloydDoggett, D-Texas, who led the charge to reject the bill on Tuesday. Doggett doubled down on Thursday after learning of the newly scheduled Rules Committee hearing.
"'In this mislabeled bill, House Republicans are hiding behind hostages,' Doggett said in a statement to The Intercept. 'Their rush to reconsider this bill is solely to offer Trump more and more power, while Trump’s nominees for key #NationalSecurity posts this week indicate how he will be using it.'"

>> It is disgusting to see #BBC #victimBlaming #Harris and dancing on the grave of her campaign.
No amount of blaming #KamalaHarris is going to hide the fact that no matter what she would have done, racist #white men and women (both groups over 50%) would have rejected her solely based on her race and skin color over which she has no control.
Plus the other two groups — #Palestinian #ArabAmerican voters and the #Jewish diaspora ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/112851191648080504

Arab American Leader Responds After GOP Senator Says at Hearing, "You Should Hide Your Head in a Bag" http://www.democracynow.org/2024/9/19/hate_crimes #JohnKennedyRacist #uspoli #GOPRacists #uspoli #ArabAmerican #USElections2024 #DontVoteForGOP
Yesterday #racist hatebag #Republican #Senator #JohnKennedy, #Lousiana, told exec dir #MayaBerry, #ArabAmerican Inst, to kill herself (2:45)
You don't like #Democrats? Fine
But in #politics, all you get is lesser of 2 evils. So do strategy not toxic idealism. Move your country in a direction. Doing nothing waiting for perfect gets us worse
Democrats are spineless on #Israel, yes
But #GOP will build a #Trump hotel in #Gaza on dead #Palestinians
#Republican Sen #JohnNeelyKennedy of #Louisiana questioned #ArabAmerican Institute Exec Dir Maya Berry during a #Senate #Judiciary Cmte hearing, asking her whether she supported #Hamas, #Hezbollah or #Iran as she repeatedly told him NO. Berry tried to explain how assuming that an #Arab #American would support a foreign #terrorist organization or state was an example of the kind of thinking [#racism] that leads to #HateCrimes but was repeatedly cut off by Kennedy.

I wrote about this here, and in many other places 🙂 ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/112877317530714782
This is why all those people, including Rashida #Tlaib and her #Muslim and #ArabAmerican constituency — who refuse to vote for #Democrats — will be worse off under Trump
⬆️ #KamalaHarris’ pick of #TimWalz amps up excitement in Midwestern states where #Democrats look to heal divisions.
With #Biden now out of the race and #Harris officially the #Democratic nominee, leaders of the #ArabAmerican community and key unions say they are encouraged by the choice. #Walz’s addition to the ticket has soothed some tensions, signaling to some community leaders that Harris heard concerns about another leading contender

Can #Harris Win Back #ArabAmerican Voters? The Door May Be Cracked Open.
Vice President #KamalaHarris has not strayed from President #Biden on #Israel policy, but she has taken a stronger tone on the suffering of #Palestinians.
