Supping With a Long Spoon

Among the events for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in New York next week is a dinner with American religious leaders—sponsored by the American Friends Service Committee, the Mennonite Central Committee, the Quaker United Nations Office, and the World Council of Churches, among others.

What are these institutions doing celebrating this kind of open anti-Semite? A protest is planned with Christian and Jewish speakers at 5:30 that evening, Thursday, September 25, at the Hyatt Hotel on 42nd St near Lexington Avenue.
