"Speaking in the basement of Westminster Presbyterian Church (WPC) in Minneapolis on July 3, 2010, Jeff Halper, founder of the Israeli Committee Against Home Demolitions (ICAHD), offered a relentless denunciation of Israel to a group of Presbyterians.
During his talk, Halper expressed hope that efforts to brand Israel as an apartheid state will get more traction going forward partially as a result of the deaths resulting from the fighting on board the Mavi Marmara a few weeks earlier. During this fighting, nine faux 'peace activists' from Turkey were killed. For Halper, the deaths on board the Mavi Marmara highlighted Israeli intransigence, not the hostile intentions of the IHH members on board the vessel.
'I think we have turned a corner with Israel’s help,' he said.
Throughout his talk, Halper gave his audience advice on how to challenge those who defend Israel from attacks like his."
