ADL Criticizes Presbyterians
21 October 2004The Anti-Defamation League has released a statement critical of the 24 leaders of the U.S. Presbyterian Church for meeting with Hezbollah in Beirut. The church leaders were on a "fact-finding tour" of the Middle East, and at least one delegate praised Hezbollah's goodwill toward Americans and said that conversations with Islamic leaders had been easier than with Jewish leaders. The statement and meeting may exacerbate existing tensions between Jews and Presbyterians due to the church's proposal to divest from Israel.
