With large expatriate Palestinian communities in Illinois and Michigan for example, do these folks have links to the much more established Arab-American orgs???

To the Vero Beach, FL Press Journal, June 11, 1998 (as published).
Memorial Day is a patriotic holiday to honor Americans who gave their lives for our country. Congressmen Newt Gingrich, Richard Gephardt and others ignored American war dead on Memorial Day and spent four days in Israel promoting Zionism and foreign aid.
It sounds like blackmail, when Israel demands another billion dollars before returning stolen Palestinian land.
Giving Israel $14 million per day—seven days a week—plus $464 million more for 1998 is already too much. Congress should not increase foreign aid while letting Social Security and Medicare go broke.
According to the newspaper The Spotlight, in June 1967, Israeli aircraft and torpedo boats killed 34 Americans and wounded 171 others trying to sink the USS Liberty, an American intelligence ship in international waters.
American tax dollars paid for Israeli aircraft that killed our fellow Americans. The Liberty was gathering information that could reveal that Israel intended to invade Syria.
Israel, not the Arab states, was the real aggressor. Any of these facts, if publicly revealed, would expose Israel’s imperialistic aims. This is why Israel tried to sink the Liberty and kill her entire crew, according to Adm. Thomas Moorer, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Israeli lobby has bought the Congress and the presidency.
Donald Bergus, a former ambassador to Sudan wrote, “At the State Department, we used to predict that if Israel’s prime minister should announce that the world is flat, within 24 hours, Congress would pass a resolution congratulating him on the discovery.”
Let us become united and end foreign aid. Carl Greeley, Barefoot Bay, FL
