Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has done everything he can possibly do to undermine the rights of American Arabs, destroying the Advisory Commission on Arab Affairs and pulling the financial rug out from under the annual Arabesque Festival which was attacked by extremists in the pro-Israel community who put Israel, a foreign country, above the interests of the United States.
