Christians for Fair Witness on the Middle East is a Christian organization that claims to "advocate among Roman Catholics and mainline Protestants in North America for fairness in Christian witness on the conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors".[1]
National Director Sr. Ruth Lautt, O.P., Esq., told a reporter that she believes that the "one-sided, unbalanced approach" on the Middle East taken by many mainline churches is the result of a "shallow understanding" of complex history that Fair Witness hopes to improve.[2] In 2008, Fair Witness worked with members of the United Methodist Church to stop the denomination from divesting from its investments in Israeli companies.[3][4]
