Abstract

"this just in" piece on the division caused when the Maine Democratic State Committee on June 27 dropped any mention of the Palestine-Israel conflict from its official platform. The party's platform committee had presented to the convention a plank critical of Israel's treatment of Palestinians that, some members of the committee insist, was officially adopted when it adjourned without debating it. With comments by Ed Cohen, a Democratic National Convention delegate from Waterville; Dorothy Melanson, state party chair; and William Slavick, Maine coordinator of the peace group Pax Christi and a platform committee member.
