"Americans For Peace Now" Urge Senators Not To Sign Resolution Asking Arab States To Normalize Relations With Israel

"Americans for Peace Now" is again siding with Israel's enemies as it is urging U.S. senators not to sign a letter encouraging the Arab world to normalize ties with Israel because it does not mention efforts to halt Israeli settlements. The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports that "the bipartisan letter to President Obama, circulated by Sens. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) and James Risch (R-Idaho) and backed by the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC, is 'unhelpful' because it 'seems to make a straightforward and reasonable demand for the Arab world to normalize relations with Israel,' but 'the subtext of the letter directly contradicts and undermines the efforts' of the Obama administration 'to promote Middle East peace.' The Senate letter notes that 'over the past few months Israel has taken concrete measures to reaffirm its commitment to advancing the peace process,' and notes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's backing of the two-state solution and the removal of
roadblocks and other measures to 'improve the daily lives of Palestinians.'"

This is just another example of how in reality this group is nothing more than a pro-Palestinian mouthpiece and has nothing to do with actual "peace now." Tweet
