i've been serving the redding arab community for almost 30 years and i dearly love my arab families and support the children and their families. my concern is not supporting arab youth. i'm all for learning language, cultural history. it's the extreme speech of the leadership of aroc. when i read on-line, going to the primary source, which we teach our children to do, when i heard her saying on line, bringing down israel will really benefit everyone in the world and everyone in society, that is -- goes far beyond criticizing a government. that's scary language, which is hatred and is wrong for a school district to have leadership of an organization who speaks like that. i hope you will find a way to support arab youth with a more inclusive organization at a time when both anti-semitism and islama-phobia are on the rise. we should not engage with a group that pits the two religious minorities against each other. thank you. >> president mendoza-mcdonnell: thank you for that. are there others -- i want to just give the time accordingly. are there others that are not for or against but are

allies particularly in the middle east some of our arab our arab friends may similarly want to go along with the troubling ministration and therefore not look kindly on european countries for example that could increase significantly their financial contribution so the u.s. withdrawal is really meant to not only pull out u.s. funding but to have a chilling effect on other countries funding the organization and directly it might be having a chilling effect because when funding to a rule was muted as being cut you'd have saudi arabia egypt the u.a.e. all up it all and saying no no no we called can't do this sort of a role the stony silence from these countries at the moment. yes they are and i think that is part of a deliberate and ordinated strategy from the white house as part of this deal of the century to work very closely with the governments of saudi arabia the united arab emirates egypt and jordan to really squeeze the palestinians to put tremendous pressure on the palestinian leadership to deprive them of any real safety net or basis of care for the palestinian population to reall

question but if you were asking where some people are being charged for money laundering the united arab emirates we do not have as far as i know any case where people from let's say central asia from larry for the last two decades there has been money laundering. for instance we don't have any strong case of people who have been victims who have been arrested all of whom the money has been present for money laundering money in dubai you know there are united arab emirates we have cases of people arrested for terrorism charges of terrorism works not generally related to the real estate the real estate it's all over the case parts of the routes once in dubai you are not dealing with the national security of the united arab emirates generally this is a very very liberal economy and they are very very few are stations unless there is a clear mandate coming from interpol that say's these people will land in the united arab emirates i don't foresee any or a state deletion related to money laundering in the real estate of dubai or the united arab emirates or k.c. it seems like a very complex a

it's happening in the arab countries.rnments now are coming close to israel because the iranian threat, they understand as we do, is something that would threaten their survival. second, once that happened, they began to see the benefits of civilian technology. they want a better life for their people and they know that israel is this fountainhead of innovation that can change and better their lives. so we are having this subterranean normalisation. and i think that as we normalise relations, we will have, not necessarily full—fledged peace treaties that we have with egypt and jordan, that will take time. but it will eventually also impact on the i% of the arab world who are palestinians. i say normalise relations with 99%, and you will eventually get peace with the i%, although i think we should do it in tandem. so in a way, i am quite hopeful. i would have never believed in my lifetime that we would have the kind of friendly relations and co—operation between israel and the arab states, and here is the most promising th
