[] S. Daniel Abraham (with Ewa)<br />

S. Daniel Abraham's sale of Slim Fast Foods to Unilever last<br />

year rocketed him onto the Forbes list of the 400 wealthiest<br />

people in America. He had also recently sold his interest in<br />

the pharmaceutical company Thompson Medical for a<br />

reported profit of $200 million. Forbes estimates his net<br />

worth at $1.8 billion.<br />

A long-time Democratic giver, Abraham has spent most of<br />

his political and charitable energies in the last decade<br />

supporting Israel and the troubled Middle East peace<br />

process. He has co-founded the Center for Middle East<br />

Peace and Economic Cooperation, a group based in<br />

Washington that has supported the Oslo peace accords.<br />

The Center, often with Abraham leading the way, has<br />

sponsored numerous congressional fact-finding missions to<br />

the region, working to forge relationships between American<br />

politicians, Israeli leaders, and their Arab counterparts.<br />

Abraham forged himself a private role in America's Middle<br />

East diplomacy, meeting repeatedly with Palestinian leaders,<br />

Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, Shimon Peres, the late<br />

King Hussein of Jordan, and former President Bill Clinton.<br />

Abraham also helped fund a tunnel alongside Jerusalem's<br />

Western Wall, which became a flash point between<br />

Palestinians and Israelis in 1996.<br />

Now let's look at Abraham as told by Wayne Owens' "peace"<br />

center site. Note his direct ties to one Sarah Ehrman. former<br />

head of Peace Now - America, and Stephen P. Cohen, who<br />

is guiding the new Jewish Theological Seminary's inter-faith<br />

program:<br />
