DETROIT â After facing criticism from some in the Arab American community, Dearborn Police Chief Ronald Haddad has apologized for liking a Facebook post that showed support for Israel. In his apology, Haddad also called for a free Palestine.

The banner also said AJC, which refers to the American Jewish Committee, an advocacy group that promoted the Facebook logo for advocates of Israel.
