The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) criticized as “dangerous and counterproductive” the Senate testimony of General David Petraeus in which he blamed “insufficient progress” in resolving the ongoing Israeli-Arab conflict as a significant impediment to achieving U.S. goals in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Iran, and for encouraging “anti-American sentiment.”
Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement in response to the general’s March 16 testimony before the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee:
“The assumptions Gen. Petraeus presented to the Senate Armed Services Committee wrongly attribute ‘insufficient progress’ in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and ‘a perception of U.S. favoritism for Israel’ as significantly impeding the U.S. military mission in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan and in dealing with the Iranian influences in the region. It is that much more of a concern to hear this coming from such a great American patriot and hero.”
