The Chairman of APN, Franklin Fisher, concurred, saying, "Congressman Lantos was a devoted supporter of Israel, a
supporter of peace, and a committed American public servant."
It's time for American Jews to not only confront the false charges that Israel practices "apartheid" but also to labor
so that Israel does not face that fate.
