Raghida Dirgham

The New York correspondent of Al-Hayat (the mouthpiece of Prince Khalid bin Sultan), Raghida Dirgham, was on Hariri Future TV. To respond to criticisms of her in Lebanon, she kept talking about her advocacy against Zionists (and she added "Jews") here in the US. She talked about her role in advocating for the Palestinian cause here in the US. I watched that with utter amazement. I mean, the number of us who speak out against Israel and Zionism in the US is not big and we all know one anther (Joseph Massad, Ali Abunimah, Saree Maqdisi, Norman Finkelstein, and me), and can one anywhere in the US remember Dirgham being an advocate against Israel and Zionism? She even claimed that she receives threats from Zionists. Kid you not. I said to myself: As`ad (I call myself by my first name), next time you go to Lebanon tell them that you "invented" a cure for cancer in the US.
