ARAB ANTI-DISCRIMINATION COMMITTEE…SOME DISCRIMINATION IS ALRIGHT
Just a point of info.
So what’s the real mission of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee? Seemingly not so much anti-discrimination re American Arabs but plenty of discrimination re Israel.
Here’s an excerpt:
ADC is at the forefront in combating defamation and negative stereotyping of Arab Americans in the media and wherever else it is practiced. In doing so, it acts as an organ-ized framework through which Arab Americans can channel their efforts toward unified, collective and effective advocacy; by promoting a more balanced U.S. Middle East policy and serving as a reliable source for the news media and educators. By promoting cultural events and par-ticipating in community activities, ADC has made great strides in correcting anti-Arab stereotypes and humanizing the image of the Arab people. In all these efforts, ADC coordinates closely with other civil rights and human rights organizations on issues of common concern.
Through its Department of Legal Services, ADC offers counseling in cases of discrimination and defamation and selected impact litigation in the areas of immigration.
In its efforts to educate the public and maintain regular communication with its members, the Media & Publications Department issues a bi-monthly newsletter, ADC Times, Issue Papers and Special Reports, which study key issues of defamation and discrimination; community studies, legal, media and educational guides; and action alerts, which call on members to act on issues necessitating grassroots response.

Combatting restrictions on immigration and;
out of 17 resolutions, 11 are anti-Israel. Not so much to do with Anti-Discrimination in America…we can imagine how they use their grass roots and educate the public.
