WJC, ADL Slam South American Recognition of "Palestine"
(Jerusalem Post) The World Jewish Congress (WJC) and Anti-Defamation League (ADL) have expressed concern over recent announcements made by Latin American countries that they recognize a Palestinian state. Ronald S. Lauder, President of the WJC stated: "We find these announcements made by Brazil, Argentina, and other Latin American countries to be troubling. Palestinian-Israeli peacemaking is a delicate process and is meant to be directly negotiated between the parties as mandated by UN resolutions." Abraham H. Foxman, the ADL's National Director, said: "The actions taken by Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay to recognize an independent Palestinian state at this time undermine bridge-building."
