Some of the issues we discussed:

Let’s start with President Trump … do you think Trump is the problem? Your mistaken. We are the problem. Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and what did we do?

What we always do. Yell, stamp our feet and yell again. In other words, we have done nothing! Worse is that the Arab World has done nothing. They are protesting publicly against Trump’s actions … but behind the scenes are making nice with Israel’s rightwing government of Benjamin Netanyahu

Ohio is about to pass another racist, anti-Arab law prohibiting Americans from speaking out against Israel’s racism and apartheid policies … it will be the 12th State …

And hey you Chaldeans … I know you don’t consider yourself Arab … but guess what … most American look at you and see Arab … they can’t tell the difference between Arabs and Chaldeans … maybe inside the Chaldean community … and I am a big champion of Chaldeans and Chaldean rights … but it doesn’t do anyone any good if we fight with each other … so whether you consider yourself Arab or not, if Americans think you are Arab, believe me, YOU ARE ARAB …

Syria is a mess … not because of Trump but because the US under Obama stopped helping to fight against the Assad regime … they want us to think it’s about refugees … is that what Arabs are, just refugees? So they are fighting over whether we should or shouldn’t accept Syrian refugees … we should but the real issue is HOW DO WE STOP THE CREATION OF REFUGEES by Syria’s dictator Bashar al Assad

EVENTS Calendar

HOW TO FIGHT BACK:

1 - Don't focus on the Consequences of problems alone. Address and correct the problem itself.

2 - Unite as a community

3 - Understand politics, it’s not 100 percent

4 - Tell our story

5 - Fight back … not violence, speaking out

6 - Support Arab American Media and challenge the racism and bigotry in the mainstream American new smedia

7 - Emotion and anger is not a strategy. Use effective strategic communications to make a difference.

8 - Recognize, acknowledge mistakes and failures … and then correct the mistakes and failures
