Islamic Conference On Palestine Held In Chicago
Thousands of people attended the third annual convention of the Islamic Association for Palestine in North America that began Thursday and will end on Saturday. Looking past the millennium, the convention was titled, "The Century of Empowerment." On Thursday, Dr. Rod Driver, a former Rhode Island state legislator, told the story of how he ran for Congress in 1998 just to get advertisements on U.S. television speaking out against U.S. support of Israeli policies against the Palestinians.
A Canadian government report on the 410,000 Palestinian refugees in Syria indicated that they are getting poorer and feeling depressed by the neglect of the Palestinian Authority. The Canadian ambassador in Damascus, Alexandra Bugailisikis, denied rumors that Canada was pushing for the export of Palestinian refugees to Iraq or Australia as a solution to the refugee problem.
