Berrigan Assails Critics as He -
Refuses Gandhi Peace Award

NEW YORK (JTA) - Fa-
ther Daniel Berrigan has ac-
cused Catholic, Protestant
and Jewish critics of his an-
ti-Israel views of represent-
ing "armies of orthodoxy"
whose unquestioning support
of Israel "is undoubtedly
idolatrous."
The controversial antiwar
priest made those remarks in
a letter refusing the Gandhi
Peace Prize, which the Con-
necticut-based organization,
Promoting Enduring Peace,
was to present to him next
Wednesday.

to the Rev. Roy Pfaff, head
of the group. Berrigan was
referring apparently to three
of his chief critics-the Rev.
Donald S. Harrington of the
Community Church, who was
to make the presentation;
Michael Novak, a Roman
Catholic who writes for the
liberal Catholic magazine,
Commonweal; and Rabbi Ar-
thur Hertzberg, president of
the American Jewish Con-
gress.
All had protested vigorous.
ly against remarks by Father
Berrigan to Arab graduate
students several months ago_
in which he charged, among
other things that Israel was
"the creation of an elite of
millionaires, generajs and
entrepreneurs." Rabbi,Hertz-
berg called Berrigan's state-
ments "old-fashioned theolog-
ical anti-Semitism."
Berrigan, who served a
term in federal prison for
destroying draft records dur-
ing the Vietnam war, con-
tended that his critics held
Israel beyond criticism.
