Is the AJCommittee now Promoting the "Apartheid" Lie?

(Israelnationalnews.com) Is the American Jewish Committee now Promoting the "Apartheid Israel" Libel?

You know how the very liberal American Jewish Comnittee has a rep among the moonbats for being rightwing? It is because the AJCommittee nominally sponsors Commentary Magazine.

Well, now it appears that the AJCommittee is jumping on the Bash-Israel Bandwagon and endorsing some of those assertions that Israel is an apartheid regime. At least so says the Meretz USA web site here:

"Among the guest speakers who dropped by briefly, were Columbia U. president Lee Bollinger (an impressively thoughtful individual) and Todd Gitlin (the 60s-era radical and today's prominent liberal academic)....
The major distinction that was made is between those who use the Apartheid analogy for 'eliminationist' or 'unconscionable' purposes - with the intend of undermining Israel;s existence as a Jewish state - and those (like Carter) who employ the analogy for 'conscionable' reasons, to eliminate the inhumane hardships and injustices that the Palestinians endure under occupation. The main difference of opinion seemed to be on whether to simply refute or dismiss the Apartheid analogy or to allow the truth of valid criticisms of Israeli policies. In the end, there was consensus that a good response to the Apartheid analogy can be a nuanced statement that would contain the following elements: 'Apartheid is not the issue' but the issue includes ending settlement expansion and occupation on the one side and the need to end violence and terror on the other."

Israel of course is the only Middle East regime that is NOT an apartheid regime. So non-eliminationist assertions that Israel is an apartheid regime are suddenly kosher for the AJCommittee members? Maybe the AJCommittee will next claim - non-eliminationally of course - that Israel was behind the 911 attacks on the US? Or that Jews drink gentile blood for Passover?
