Walid Phares's comrade

A comrade of Walid Phares in the global Cedar-Zionist movement, admits a key thing: that Walid Phares has officially refused to appear with me on any TV show. He in fact did tell Aljazeera that he will appear with any other guest, except me.  "But it seems that deep below the surface of frustration with Phares’ achievements, Abukhalil has a personal beef. For Phares has refused to be on the same panel with him, several times over the years, despite the fact that he faced off with other authentic radical commentators. As early as a few weeks ago, al Jazeera invited Phares to a panel with Islamist leaders who oppose his views. He agreed to being on the panel but not with Abukhalil, precisely because of the latter’s unprofessional behavior and his disrespectful blogging style."

PS Among the many lies contained here, it is not true that I appear on Al-Manar TV.  Ever since the silly American law that categorized Al-Manar as a "terrorist organization", and after a discussion with an official at Treasury Department, I have decided to not appear on the network, and I have not since, although some American colleagues have appeared on the network since.
