Computer displays of Bill Clintons Arab donors were shut
off at the Clinton Library in Arkansas.
Former Pres Bill Clinton has accepted at least $1.6 million from the United Arab Emirates,
including $300,000 from a Dubai sheik who adamantly backs the country's controversial
boycott of Israel.
On Jan. 17, 2002, Clinton was paid $300,000 to address the Science, Technology and Arts
Royal Summit in Dubai at the invitation of Crown Prince and U.A.E. Defense Minister Sheik
Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
Three months later, Sheik Mohammad urged the United Nations to approve the use of force
against Israel to halt what he called the Jewish state's "butchery" of
Palestinians, according to London's Financial Times.
Clinton's benefactor called for then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to "stand
trial before the International War Crimes Tribunal," where Sheik Mohammad said he
would "have a prominent place in the list of world's killers, terrorists and
criminals."
The Dubai sheik then reminded that "Arabs have a wide room for political, diplomatic
and economic moves and have the right, at least, to revive the Arab economic boycott to
Israel."
Bill Clinton accepted another $300,000 from the Dubai regime for a speech in 2005. And his
presidential library in Little Rock has collected multi millions of dollars from several
Arab governments participating in the anti-Israel boycott, including Dubai.
In September 2005, the New York Sun reported:
"When the library opened last year, a computer display in the exhibit halls included
information on some, but not all, donors. The Saudi Royal Family and the governments of
Dubai, Kuwait, and Qatar all gave $1 million or more."
The paper noted that after it published a previous list including Bill Clinton's Arab
donors, "the computer display was shut off. It has not been restored."
