Wall Street journal editorial on Quakers and Israel-Palestine and Quaker reaction

Public ContentAnyone can view this post

Editorial in the Wall Street Jounal about Friends.  I"m including links to the original editorial, a reaction piece from Max Carter, a background piece on Max Carter, whom I met at FGC many years ago - sweet, down-to-earth, midwestern Quaker, (for years Max was director of the Friends Center at Guilford College and would take a group of students to Ramallah to vist the Friends school), a link to the BDS, an organization mentioned in the editorial,  a link to the AFSC reaction to the Wall Street Journal editorial from Lucy Duncan who spoke at Quarterly meeting sometime in the last two years, a short video on "Searching for Peace in the Middle East" by Landrum Bolling of the Earlham School of Religion and an article on the Mennonite Central Committee's divestment plans (some Friends feel a stronger connection to MCC than AFSC).
