VOICES AGAINST BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL

Former Archbishop of Canterbury Condemns Anglican Anti-Israel Divestment Plan - Ruth Gledhill
The former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, on Monday condemned plans by Anglican church leaders to disinvest from companies that do business in Israel. He said that the Anglican Consultative Council would be making a grave mistake if it approved an Israel divestment proposal at a meeting on June 22. Lord Carey said: "Israelis are already traumatized and feel that the world is against them. This proposal, if it is agreed, would be another knife in the back. Christians who owe so much to the Hebrew Scriptures and to Israel itself should not be among those who attack Israel in such a way." (Times-UK)

Doctors Without Borders founder and former French health minister Dr. Bernard Kouchner said Monday during a visit to Israel that those who dismiss Israel's right to exist suffer from "historical amnesia." He dismissed those who support an academic boycott of Israeli institutions of research and higher education. "Boycott science? That's nonsense. They want to hurt Israel but they hurt the Palestinians as well." (Jerusalem Post)
