US: Concerned Presbyterians Urges End to Israeli Divestment
Divestment from Israel, although cloaked in the noblest motives, is a tactic designed to demoralize the Jewish state against its mortal enemies. A group of Concerned Presbyterians is working to end their Church's resolution recommending divestment from Israel. Western Resistance commends them without reserve. Let's help them spread the word: Divestment is a Costly Mistake
[...]Presbyterians, neither the Israeli Government nor the American Jewish Community can stop this assault on Israel. It is our problem - and our responsibility. With the General Assembly (GA) approaching June 15, now is the time for you to act by contacting the GA Commissioners from your presbytery. Please do not delay. Your 217th GA Commissioners' names are listed here, and your presbytery office has the contact information for them. These Commissioners need to be informed that many concerned Presbyterians are opposed to referring these urgent overtures to a study group; they want the 2004 divestment resolution rescinded now.Friends, it is our obligation to stop this divestment. Not only is this divestment action based on biased and unfounded antagonism towards Israel, but the costs to our church are staggering. The Middle East resolutions passed by the 216th and prior General Assemblies have created a network run amuck of headquarters staff, GA committees, and outside organizations receiving PCUSA funding.[...]
Read it all, and act accordingly.
