The American Jewish Congress (AJC) has condemned the Anglican Church Consultative Council's June 24 vote in favor of economic measures against Israel by its constituents.
Neil Goldstein, AJC Executive Director, stressed: "No amount of dissembling can hide the fact that this resolution encourages divestment from companies doing business with Israel in an attempt to isolate and stigmatize the Jewish State."
In condemning this "one-sided resolution about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," Goldstein labeled the resolution as "lacking in moral credibility."
AJC President Paul Miller stated: "At a time when Israelis are preparing to withdraw from Gaza, such unjust interference is a significant obstacle to peace in the Middle East.
"It is disheartening," he went on to say, "that the Council did not heed the words of the former leader of the Church of England, Lord George Carey, who warned that 'Israelis are already traumatized and feel that the world is against them,' and who called the resolution 'another knife in the back'." |
