That would be to one Congressman Mark Kirk, Republican Christian Zionist, Illinois, who champions himself as Israel's best friend in Congress, who himself is a member of the Fulbright Association http://fulbright.capwiz.com/bio/id/40130 Some might remember Mark Kirk from this incident: "On November 5, 2005, while speaking at Northwestern University, Kirk was asked how he felt about stricter visa policies applied to Arab foreign nationals seeking entry to the United States. Kirk answered: "I'm OK with discrimination against young Arab males from terrorist-producing states. I'm OK with that. I think that when we look at the threat that's out there, young men between, say, the ages of 18 and 25 from a couple of countries, I believe a certain amount of intense scrutiny should be placed on them." So, now that your memory has been jogged about who he is, it should be no surprise that he went on the rampage to do what he could to stop these Fulbright scholars. The New York Sun reported that he wrote a letter to the Inspector General of the State Department, Harold Geisel, with "evidence". This evidence was that (I don't know about the other two, but this applies for sure to Fidaa) Fidaa had attended Gaza's Islamic University. Conjur up in your mind what "Israel's best friend in Congress" could make out of that juicy piece of information. http://www.nysun.com/foreign/congressman-asks-terrorist-screening-of-gaza/80407 So your addendum Haitham, "“Secret evidence”… hah? Maybe his “beard”?!" IS indeed the case. That old saying, "six degrees of separation" being used by Zionists and their sympathizers made Fidaa "guilty by association"-ESPECIALLY to someone like Mark Kirk. In March Fidaa put up a message on an internet page. He titled it "Killing in Gaza" Following is part of that conversation (leaving out the comments from others): http://1union.darkbb.com/oo-general-forums-oo-f3/killing-in-gaza-t67.htm Hello All, I am Fidaa Abed From Gaza, Palestine. We live in Gaza in a very bad situation. It is a holocaust. 100 people were killed in 3 days. some of them are children and babies. I need to hear your comments about the situation here. Fidaa Read the comments and at the end Fidaa closes with: Thank you for all your feelings. I appreciate that and hope the peace to cover all the world. ____________________________________ With that, one can see what Mark Kirk sought to stop. Side note, Mark Kirk's district in Illinois is heavily Jewish. He is in a race right now against Democrat Dan Seals. One guess can give you one of their tug-of-war issues, which candidate is "stronger on Israel" Just google both men's names and then add Israel-------ah the state of Zionist controlled American politics and woe be it to anyone such as Fidaa who hopes for "peace to cover the world" to become a pawn in that. It’s really pretty easy to trace the source of the “secret evidence” which caused the US to revoke Fidaa’s visa.
