- DAOUD KUTTAB
- OPPORTUNIST who "represents all that is
rotten"
- [MER - The reality of Daoud Kuttab, is far different
than the image now being propagated because of his arrest by the Arafat
police and his becoming another "nice" Palestinian promoted by
the White House and the American media. Kuttab has no significant journalistic
accomplishments in print or from the podium. His main activities have been
to work with Israeli, American, or PA-sponsored projects as a supporter
of the "peace process". His is a classic opportunist; though
in comparison to others in the PA a small fish. Among other things he has
had such ridiculous ideas as when he last year tried to start a campaign
to get Sirhan Sirhan (the assassin of Robert Kennedy in 1968) released
from prison because he is a Palestinian. The following comments from Palestinians
who know Kuttab and who know what is really happening in now doubly-occupied
Palestine have been received in recent days.

- I can't agree more. MER,
to my knowledge is the only information source that is obliged not only
to the truth but also to the issues of justice and expose the Americans
and their clients in the arab world and Israel. MER is realy impatial,
insightful and fearless.
- Take for example Daud Kuttab
vase. MER condemned the arrest and they went beyond condemnation and exposed
what Daud stood and stands for. Daud, whom I know personally, is an opportunist,
the worse kind of american liberal opportunist. A friend of mine who lives
in Philadelphia told a that when the infamous Jibril Rojub two years ago
visited Philadelphia, he was hosted by Daud's brother, and my friend told
me that Daud's brother has security devices buisness, Jibril was her in
a shopping trip to buy all these devices that will enable him to put a
gripp on his people.
- I can bring hundred of
cases, shich shows that MER is fearless and is there to fight for justice
and is a voice for the voicless. Please continue your great work.

- KUTTAB REPRESENTS ALL THAT
- IS ROTTEN IN OUR SOCIETY

Palestinian graduate student studying international affairs.]

- I've read what you sent out about Daoud Kuttab, it is
very embarassing to me that men of his calibre became heros of this time.
Don't misunderstand me, I am totally against his arrest and detention,
and I loath the 'preventive security' more than I loath Israeli border
guards, but Daoud Kuttab, was always an Arafat supporter, and an American
protege. One of the big scandels in Rammalah had him as the prime figure,
the USIA appointed him as the distributer of the "Democratic Endowment
Fund" given to the Palestinian media by the US, the main thing is,
he ended up with more than half the money for himself, that enabled him
to open his own private TV station and support his Web site, Amin.org.
While defending the freedom of the press, Daoud Kuttab represent all that's
rotten in our society, and he does not deserve to become an internationally
renouned freedom fighter, only the stupid Arafat orders sought to that.
We really live in strange times.
