Khaled Abu Toameh Born 1963 Tulkarem, West Bank Residence Israel Ethnicity Palestinian Arab Citizenship Israeli Khaled Abu Toameh (Arabic: خالد أبو طعمة‎, born 1963) is an "Israeli-Arab-Muslim-Palestinian" journalist and documentary filmmaker. He is the West Bank and Gaza correspondent for the Jerusalem Post and U.S. News and World Report, and has been the Palestinian affairs producer for NBC News since 1988. His articles have appeared in The Sunday Times, Daily Express and many others. He also writes for the Hudson Institute think-tank in New York.[1] Contents 1 Background 1.1 Career 1.2 Speaking engagements 2 Views on Israel 3 References 4 Articles and documentaries // Background Abu Toameh was born in the West Bank city of Tulkarem in 1963 to an Israeli Arab father and a Palestinian Arab mother from the West Bank.[2] He received his BA in English Literature from the Hebrew University and lives in Jerusalem with his wife and three children.[3] Toameh has referred to himself as an "Israeli-Arab-Muslim-Palestinian", whose vision of an ideal world would be "if there is a Jew who would like to live in Palestine he is welcome, and if there is an Arab who would like to live in Israel he is also welcome. In an ideal situation, peace means that people can live wherever they want." [4] Career Khaled Abu Toameh was formerly a senior reporter for The Jerusalem Report, and a correspondent for Al-Fajr, which he describes as a mouthpiece for the PLO.[3] He has produced several documentaries on the Palestinians for the BBC, Channel 4, Australian, Danish and Swedish TV, including ones that exposed the connection between Arafat and payments to the armed wing of Fatah, as well as the financial corruption within the Palestinian Authority.[3] He was the first journalist to report about the sex scandal that rocked the Palestinian Authority in early 2010 and which led to the firing of Rafiq Husseini, Chief of Staff for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The scandal was revealed by former Palestinian intelligence official Fahmi Shabaneh in an exclusive interview with Abu Toameh in The Jerusalem Post.[5] Abu Toameh writes for the Hudson Institute,[6] and has served as a lecturer with the University of Minnesota - School of Journalism and Mass Communication.[7] He has also lectured at the London School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS),[8] as well as the London-based think tank Chatham House.[9] Speaking engagements Abu Toameh was a keynote speaker at the 2009 annual conference of the Canadian Association of Journalists in Vancouver.[10] He has spoken at the House of Commons of the United Kingdom by invitation.[11] At university campuses throughout the U.S. and Canada, he has spoken on the situation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and prospects for peace in the Middle East.[4][12] He was listed as part of the speakers bureau for the Hasbara Fellowships, who have brought him to more than a dozen talks at various university campuses.[13][14][15] A series of his talks have also been sponsored by StandWithUs,[16][17] and he spoke at their annual conference in Los Angeles in 2008.[18] Views on Israel In 2009, Toameh declared that he "Israel is a wonderful place to live and we are happy to be there. Israel is a free and open country. If I were given the choice, I would rather live in Israel as a second class citizen than as a first class citizen in Cairo, Gaza, Amman or Ramallah."[19][20] In the Durban Review Conference, Toameh criticized Israeli Arab Knesset members for supporting extremism and calling Israel a "state of apartheid" rather than fighting for the rights of Arab citizens of Israel. And then they come here to tell us that Israel is a state of apartheid? Excuse me. What kind of hypocrisy is this? What then are you doing in the Knesset? If you are living in an apartheid system, why were you allowed, as an Arab, to run in the election? What are you talking about? We do have problems as Arabs with the establishment here. But to come and say that Israel is an apartheid state is a big exaggeration. I am not here to defend Israel, but I think that Knesset members like this gentleman are doing huge damage to the cause of Israeli Arabs. I want to see the Knesset member sitting in the Knesset, in Jerusalem, and fighting for the rights of Arabs over there.[19] In response, Ali Kazak, the former PLO ambassador to Australia, called Toameh a "traitor".[20][21] References This article uses bare URLs in its references.
