Labor Party officials visiting Washington sparred with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Delegation members said the pro-Israel lobby is on the “extreme right wing” and would bear responsibility if the peace process collapses. Knesset member Yossi Beilin and AIPAC official Steve Rosen traded heated barbs at a reception for the delegation Tuesday night in Washington. The national director of the Anti-Defamation League, Abraham Foxman, came to AIPAC’s defense, accusing the Labor delegation of “tampering” with the American Jewish community.
