Medhi, Here is a message I sent to the White House yesterday regarding Bibi's choice for the new ambassador to the United States. Last night I distributed copies at the CAIR-Fl gala in Tampa. Hoping others will contact Biden and others about this: Mr. President, I strongly urge you to refuse Israel's new ambassador to the United States, a Mr. Leiter. Doing so would renew your failed relationship with Arab and Muslim Americans, and especially Palestinian Americans. Mr. Leiter represents the most extreme zionist ideas that run counter to both international and national laws. His association with the assassinated Rabbi Kahane who advocated forcible removal of all non-Jews from a Greater Israel, and then killing those who refuse to leave, his friendship with the man who entered a mosque and committed mass murder of worshippers, and his loud and consistent voice for stealing additional Palestinian land by illegal settler colonists leading to the building of more settlements which the U.S. opposes, make him a pariah to the Jewish and Muslim and Christian ideals of justice, peace, compassion and mercy. Mr. Leiter does not deserve to enter the White House, let alone our country. If you do not use your power under Article II, Sec. 3 of the Constitution, you will give carte blanche to the building of Greater Israel on the rubble, bones and bodies of Palestinians. Today there are more than 45,000 Gazans and West Bankers killed, 70 per cent of them women and children. Prime Minister Netanyahu with Mr. Leiter pushing a "final solution" upon your administration already complicit in crimes against humanity will be a permanent black mark on your otherwise wonderful presidency. Don't allow Mr. Leiter to seek revenge for his son killed in battle by gazanizing the West Bank and forever ending Palestinian hopes.

I do appreciate your work. I also fear for your safety now that 45 is back in power. Thanks and take care of yourself and your team while continuing to try to shed light in this horrible time.
