Sad, Angry and Fearful: Voices of Arab-Americans and American Jews
Francis X. Clines
Transcribed from the clipping
“Essa Abed, a Palestinian social worker in Brooklyn: ‘What I’m hearing in the community is a lot of anger, frustration and feelings that the peace process won’t proceed.’… ‘Israel should not be in the occupation business,’ said Terry Ahwal of Detroit, a member of the national board of the Ameri… Arab-Americans were particularly sensitive to the news coverage of the event, contending that while Dr.

Context added by this archive
Arab-Americans named and quoted in the New York Times: Essa Abed in Brooklyn, Terry Ahwal in Detroit. The complaint they make is about labelling — that a lone militant and a terrorist are the same man described twice — and this archive now holds both the 1946 and the 1994 ends of that argument.
