CounterPunch type Stanley Heller appears in AP article about Shimon Peres

Shimon Peres has been making appearances in the US recently. This AP article about one of his appearances features one Stanley Heller of the Middle East Crisis Committee:
Peres' visit brought out about 20 protesters, shouting and waving signs that said "End the Occupation." The group called Peres the "father" of Israel's atomic weapons program who held leadership positions when Israel killed hundreds of civilians in Lebanon last summer.

"He's not a man of peace. He's really a phony," said protester Stanley Heller, chairman of the Middle East Crisis Committee. "Shimon Peres has the blood of many people on his hand."
"The Middle East Crisis Committee"? What's that? Here is their website, currenly featuring the slogan "Shimon Peres, Out of Yale, Off to the Hague and into Jail." Among other things you will learn there, Heller calls Rachel Corrie "an American hero."
