Subject: [P_F] Saudis Hire a Jewish PR Firm
To: All Muslim Brothers and Sisters
It has just been revealed that Saudi Arabia, which spent over $100
million from 2000 to 2010 on American propaganda, has hired the largest
Jewish-ownedPR firm
<http://frontpagemag .com/2012/ ronn-torossian/ without-pr- firms-could- mideast-dictator s-remain- in-power/>in
the world, Edelman, to "promote the Kingdom' s interests among key groups
within the world body and to U.N. observers." The assignment entails
book development/ giveaways, video production, event backdrop
development, strategic counsel and more.
Saudi government lobbying and PR companies include Hill & Knowlton
(since 1982), Qorvis Communications -- who worked to manage the fact
that 15 of the 19 September 11 hijackers were Saudis -- and many others.
However, never before have they hired a firm as outwardly Jewish as
Edelman. None were firms that were founded by someone described on the
company blog as "proud to be Jewish
<http://www.edelman. com/p/6-a- m/dan-edelman- the-indomitable/>; in his
day, Jews had to be better than the rest to get ahead. His faith
informed his belief in ethics---there was right or wrong, no grey area."
Edelman is owned by Richard Edelman, a self-described proud Jew who
supports Israel and is proud of the pro-bono work his firm has done for
the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation. Richard has written of the immense
emotions he felt saying Kaddish with Nobel Peace Prize-winner Elie
Wiesel for his dead father. And how he "went to Auschwitz-Birkenau this
past summer, having read Wiesel's moving story, Night, about his time in
the death camp. As I watched the now elderly Wiesel, his face lined and
his hair tousled under his yarmulke, I thought about Martin Becker
praying before the ovens for his own parents, about my youngest
daughter' s upcoming bat mitzvah and about my own father."
Clearly, a proud American Jew who spoke of "a Mitzvah, a special memory
that we will be sure to relate to all whom we encounter. We are joined
with you forever in preserving this vital piece of history, so that it
never happens again." And Richard and his family have been involved with
many Jewish issues through the years. I know personally of the feelings
he has for Israel.
Saudi money has always gone far in America -- but aligning with a
company owned by such a proud Jew is a different stop. With this
contract, one wonders if special considerations have been made for
Edelman company executives to travel to the region. Will women andJews
<http://www.algemein er.com/>be permitted to travel to the region? There
were 14 people named in federal filings on the Saudi PR account. And if
the women are allowed in, will they be allowed to travel alone, as the
country remains the only country in the world where women are not
allowed to drive?
Sheikh Salman al-Awdah, a leading Saudi cleric (with 2.4 million Twitter
followers) recently wrote an open letter where he warned the Saudi
Arabian government that it would be facing "the spark of violence" if it
didn't act on issues like detained dissidents, bad public services, and
corruption. There are said to be 30,000 political prisoners in prison
in Saudi Arabia, and the country remains amongst the worst when it comes
to human rights. These are policy issues, not PR issues.
Just don't tell the imam of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia,
Abdul Rahman al-Sudais, who said: "Jews are evil offspring, infidels,
distorters of words ...the scum of the human race whom Allah cursed and
turned into apes and pigs." What will the imam say when he knows these
"distorters of words" at an American Jewish-owned PR agency is working
for Saudi Arabia?
