WHITNEY HOUSTON
REFUSED TO SHAKE SHARON'S HAND!
NOW SHE FACES BASHING IN THE 
MEDIA
by Aisha (New Trend rep. in New York City)
On Monday, 9/29/03, 
Dateline NBC 
did an expose on Whitney Houston's visit to Bethlehem.  I was shocked when 
I first heard the report that she had gone and I deemed her a confused 
sellout, but this interview showed that there was more to her visit than 
what I initially saw a few months earlier.
Actually, my sister saw it and I'm basing on her observation.  She told me 
that Whitney Houston was the guest of the Black hebrew Israelites.  She 
also made the comments that 
Israel 
belonged to the 
Palestinians 
and the blacks.  When Ariel Sharon went to shake her hand, Whitney Houston 
refused to shake his!  Her husband, Bobby Brown, shook it to avoid further 
embarrassment on Sharon's part.
The preceding events may be the reason for the airing of such a show on 
Whitney in the first place.  The entire broadcast was meant to paint her 
as a drug addict but during her visit she became baptized and seems to be 
trying to make an effort to better herself.
Because of her snub of Ariel Sharon, look for more negatively manufactured 
reports about Whitney Houston and her family.   Dateline NBC tried to make 
a mountain out of a molehill.
