ATFP Mourns Victims of Consulate Attack in Benghazi

The American Task Force on Palestine strongly condemns the heinous attack that claimed the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi yesterday, and extends its deepest condolences to the families of Ambassador Stevens and his colleagues.

Ambassador Stevens was an exceptional diplomat who mixed impeccable professionalism with genuine passion and caring. With his tragic death, the United States has lost a patriot who tirelessly pursued America’s interests, while the Arab world has lost a friend who was personally invested in a better future for the Arab world and in stronger Arab-American relations.

 The American Task Force on Palestine is strictly opposed to all acts of violence against civilians no matter the cause and no matter who the victims or perpetrators may be.  The Task Force advocates the development of a Palestinian state that is democratic, pluralistic, non-militarized and neutral in armed conflicts.
