The American Jewish Congress (AJC) has condemned the Anglican Church Consultative Council's June 24 vote in favor of economic measures against Israel ...

Neil Goldstein, AJC Executive Director, stressed: '.....this resolution ...(is) an attempt to isolate and stigmatize the Jewish State....(and is) lacking in moral credibility.'

AJC President Paul Miller stated: 'At a time when Israelis are preparing to withdraw from Gaza, such unjust interference is a significant obstacle to peace in the Middle East.

'It is disheartening...that the Council did not heed the words of the former leader of the Church of England, Lord George Carey, who .... called the resolution 'another knife in the back'.'"
