Dr. JAMES J ZOGBY President, Arab American Institute My role with the drafting committee WASN’T going to write about this subject, but something happened a few days back Iover lunch that prompted me to reconsider. I was having a peaceful meal with my wife when two men sat down in the next booth. In loud voices they began to discuss the state of the presidential contest. At one point, the gentleman directly behind me said, “and Bernie Sanders picked that Cornel West and that guy who’s the head of the Arab League who has it in for Israel...”. That did it. I spun around and said, in a polite but rm voice, “I’m that guy. I’m not the head of the Arab League and I’m asking you to change the subject now.” Shocked, the man responded “you’re him!” and began asking me questions. I cut him o making it clear that I was having lunch and wasn’t interested in pursuing the matter. After we nished eating, I turned to the two men and explained who I was and why I found the crude description of me to be so aggravating. In some ways I fault The Washington Post and other mainstream news outlets for having unleashed the mini- restorm that followed my recent appointment to the Dem- ocratic Party’s platform drafting committee. When I rst heard from Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz that I was to be named to the committee, I held my breath, fully expecting an attack from the far-right, anti-Arab, and hard-line pro-Isra- el groups. Sure enough, they didn’t disappoint. I was called “a professional Israel-hater”, “a defender of terrorism”, “Bernie’s Svengali”, and it was claimed (falsely) that I had “accused beings and do every single thing Not much consideration given there.
