It's shocking, but the Presbyterian Church has been into anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic activities for a long time, now. Their IPMN-PCUSA (International Public Management Network of the Presbyterian Church-USA) a political arm-have accused Jews of controlling Hollywood, the media, and American politics as well as blame Israel for the American housing and economic crisis. This is going over the top of being anti-Semitic. Do they realize that Jews are far less than 1% of the world's population? For about the smallest group in the world, we are accused of doing everything bad in the world. This is still using us as the scapegoats of the world.
This same group's IPMN leader, Noushin Framke, likes the Obama cartoon with the Jewish stars and another website that says that Hamas should keep Israeli Gilad Shalit hostage until Palestinians are granted a right of return. The information coming from IPMN-PCUSA posted her opposition to a 2-state solution and the existence of a Jewish state, which shows she goes along with Hamas-Fatah and the Muslim Brotherhood.
This group, speaking in the name of the Presbyterians, is actually speaking for Palestinians led by Hamas and now Fatah whose charter is the destruction of Israel. They have disregarded any peace agreements. The Israel/Palestine Mission Network of PCUSA has produced a booklet "Steadfast Hope", the Palestinian Quest for Just Peace. It's actually the plan of taking over Israel and driving the inhabitants into the sea.
Friday the group passed a resolution calling for voting on divestment in multi-national companies making a profit. Any activity Israel is doing is called non-peaceful and they refer to Isarel as Israel-Palestine, also an untruth. Their Christian Post reported this. They want their church's US General Assembly to pull out of investments in Caterpillar, Motorola Solutions and Hewlett-Packard until the church gets their way of destroying Israel.
Why these 3 companies? They say that they had participated in Israel's "occupation of the "West Bank,"
built the security barrier (wall-protecting Israelis from Palestinian attacks which is saving many lives) and destroyed Arab homes, road and fields to make way for towns in the West Bank-according to them as illegal acts.
First off, let's look at the facts. Israel was attacked by many Arab states in 1967 and as if by a miracle, little Israel, surrounded by enemies, won. By winning, they gained back Judea and Samaria-ancient homelands of the Jewish people who most people now call the Jordanian term of "West Bank", meaning the west side of the Jordan River. By winning, they were able to unite East Jerusalem with the rest of Jerusalem as East Jerusalem had still been in Jordanian hands, and they lost the battle. .
Israel was legally created May 1948 through the UN as well as owning outright most of the land they finally got. Arab leaders have not been able to accept this fact that there is a teeny Jewish state in the midst of 22 Muslim states of which there exists 48 Muslim majority states in the whole world. Israel was there long before Muslims were ever created by Mohammed, as a matter of fact. Jews are the natives in this case.
The Presbyterians also have thrown Israel's history to the wind, which is what so many people in the USA have also done with their own US history. Some people questioned even think Israel is a Muslim country. They couldn't even find the USA on a map, let alone Israel. Knowing this, I doubt very much if many Presbyterians are well educated about the history of Israel, the wars they have had to fight since 1948, the peace offers since 1948, or even the history of the people who call themselves "Palestinians". I bet they've never heard of the book written by Joan Peters, who was advisor to several USA Presidents, called "From Time Immemorial", which tells exactly where these Arabs had come from and why. They came into Jewish towns and cities looking for work, which they got. Evidently things weren't that good in their own home towns. It's a sad state of affairs to realize that Americans don't know a hoot about their own country let alone Israel way out in the Middle East.
Well, not all of these voting in the Presbyterian Church were negligent of facts. A few Council members opposed the decision, so it wasn't 100%. They told the others that "divestment is "inneffective and unproductive and actually goes against peacemaking." That's for sure, as what they have done is side with the pack that wants to destroy Israel entirely. Jews and Presbyterians have been friends, as Rabbi Steve Gutow, president of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs said he was "profoundly disappointed. Neither peace nor the long friendship between our two communities is served by this action."
Look who the leader is in this divestment action. Their agenda is to destroy Israel. They're not trying to bring about any peace. They are being led by biased people with an agenda of their own that has nothing to do with the Christian religion. Rev. Brian Ellison, Kansas City pastor and chair of their Mission Responsibility has just allowed himself to be sucked into this anti-Semitic attitude of being against Jews. Such latent feelings prove to be fruitful to people wishing to destroy Israel.
No wonder it's been so hard to approach some churches in trying to present a power point of history and facts about Israel lately. They accept Muslim speakers but not Jews. They don't want to be confused with facts. It might upset their prejudice.
