Walter "Slim" Coleman, pastor of the Adalberto United Methodist Church, accused [Bush] of placing both America and the Middle East in great danger by siding with Sharon--a move that has evoked the anger of the Arab world. They need the U.S. to be a bridge, and by Bush cutting a deal leaving the Palestinians out continues Israel's insecurity and Palestinian suffering, and it stacks the whole world against us," Jackson said.
