Christians for Fair Witness on the Middle East are dismayed by remarks made by Latin Patriarch Michel Sabbah in Jerusalem rejecting Israel’s Jewish identity and claiming a Jewish state is discriminatory.<\/p>\n

“We must be careful to distinguish between the Jewish people and the Jewish religion.  Presumably His Beatitude supports the creation of a state for the Palestinian people.  Why would he deny this same fundamental right to the Jewish people? ” asks Rev. Dr. Bruce Chilton, the Bernard Iddings Bell Professor of Religion at Bard College.<\/p>\n

Sr. Ruth Lautt, Fair Witness National Director, points out “Jews, like any other people, defined in terms of a shared ethnicity, language, history, culture and\/or religion, have the right to constitute an autonomous, sovereign political community.  We have been very concerned about recent attacks on the legitimacy of a Jewish state.  It is dismaying to see Patriarch Sabbah jump on this bandwagon and take the position that a Jewish state is somehow inherently discriminatory.”  <\/p>\n
