Dean Condemns 'Anti-Semitic Literature'

WASHINGTON -- A handful of people at Democratic National Headquarters
distributed material critical of Israel during a public forum
questioning the Bush administration's Iraq policy, drawing an angry
response and charges of anti-Semitism from party chairman Howard Dean
on Friday.

"We disavow the anti-Semitic literature, and the Democratic National
Committee stands in absolute disagreement with and condemns the
allegations," Dean said in a statement posted on the DNC Web site.

Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, the senior Democrat on the House
Judiciary Committee, organized the forum on Thursday in the Capitol.

Conyers' event occurred in a small Capitol basement meeting room, and
an overflow crowd watched witnesses on television in a conference room
at DNC headquarters.

According to Dean, some material distributed within the DNC conference
room implied that Israel was involved in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks.

One witness, former intelligence analyst Ray McGovern, told Conyers and
other House Democrats that the war was part of an effort to allow the
United States and Israel to "dominate that part of the world," a
statement Dean also condemned.

"As for any inferences that the United States went to war so Israel
could 'dominate' the Middle East or that Israel was in any way behind
the horrific September 11th attacks on America, let me say
unequivocally that such statements are nothing but vile, anti-Semitic
rhetoric," Dean said.

"The inferences are destructive and counterproductive, and have taken
away from the true purpose of the Judiciary Committee members'
meeting," Dean said. "The entire Democratic Party remains committed to
fighting against such bigotry."
