Scared herself, the American born current wife was amenable to sending Deborah's children back to the U.S. but needed to get them passports since her husband had sent them to Jordan with Palestinian documents.</p> <p>With the help of her cousin Donna Shalala, who was Secretary of Health and Human Services under President Clinton, Deborah got her children passports overnight. And her children, then 13 and 15, were put on a plane out of Jordan just as her ex-husband was returning to get them.</p> <p>Deborah was quick to point out that it was not quite the Hollywood ending her book publisher was looking for as her children went through difficult adjustment periods. However, she did end the talk on an extremely positive note:</p> <p>"One of the great thrills of being there was meeting these incredible Palestinians and Israelis who wanted to work together for peace. And I don't mean a few, I mean a lot... and there is just a huge grassroots civil movement going on and unfortunately it is not shown on the news. The news would rather show the war that is going on. But I tell you that these peacemakers are out there and they are strong and the people have a big desire to work together."</p> </div> <a href="/blog/49395--unveiled-author-deborah-kanafani-6-of-6">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/49384--unveiled-author-deborah-kanafani-2-of-6 2008-10-08T04:50:48Z HotPotatoMash <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dSvu_AzHCRY&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dSvu_AzHCRY&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/49384--unveiled-author-deborah-kanafani-2-of-6"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/59877" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>See the entire talk/post with links: <a href="http://www.hotpotatomash.com/2008/08/video-exclusive.html">www.hotpotatomash.com</a> </p> <p>Part 2 - Yasser and Suha Arafat (8:42)</p> <p>Despite talking to Yasser Arafat many times over the phone, Deborah did not meet the PLO leader until his first trip to the U.S. in 1993 to sign the Declaration of Principles with Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin which paved the way for limited Palestinian self-government in Gaza and the West Bank.</p> <p>Upon meeting Arafat Deborah was sure that, "he knew that he had something that [she] would never have -- [her] husband's complete devotion."</p> <p>Much of this segment, however, is dedicated to telling a couple of interesting stories about Suha Arafat who did not accompany her husband on his historic trip to the delight of Arafat's advisors who universally "hated" her.
