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.
