One should not say that a
person is not poor because it
may keep them from receiving
assistance.

Answering
Israel's Critics

The Charge
Several senior clergy of the
American Episcopal Church
participated in a conference in
Boston late last month titled
"The Apartheid Paradigm in
Palestine/Israel."

The Answer
Rather than endorsing the
far-left theology and simpli-
fied world view — Israel as
"Goliath," Palestinians as
"David" — of Sabeel, the con-
ference's sponsor, those church
leaders should study the com-
plexities of the issue, respect the
historical and religious claims of
both Jews and Palestinians and,
without biased rhetoric, endorse
bringing both sides together
for peaceful negotiations and a
renunciation of terror.
