Bishops' Statement
Is Criticized

New York/JTA — The American
Jewish Committee said it is "deeply
disappointed" with a U.S. Catholic
bishops' resolution on the Middle East
peace process because it did not call
upon the Palestinians to "fully respect
the religious liberties" of Jews.
The AJCommittee said Palestinians
have desecrated Jewish holy sites and
some Muslim religious leaders had
urged "attacks on Jews worldwide."
In their resolution issued Nov. 15,
the bishops for the first time endorsed
the "establishment of an international-
ly recognized Palestinian state."
It also supported Israel's right to
exist within secure borders.
