Jordanian Activists Slam Environmental Conference for Including Israelis
(Jordan Times) Mohammad Ben Hussein - The Jordanian Professional Associations' Anti-Normalization Committee on Monday criticized the Friends of the Earth Middle East (FoEME) for inviting Israeli officials to take part in a conference which opened Monday in Amman on "Bringing the Jordan River Back to Life: Strategies for Rehabilitation." But FoEME officials hit back. FoEME President Munqeth Mehyar said, "Working for the welfare and good of the people by securing a clean, sustainable environment is the highest level of patriotism....People's right to water cannot wait and cannot be achieved by condemning, boycotting and screaming from a distance."
