I was really distressed in church this week when the pastor mentioned the "suffering of the Palestinians"

Cut the pastor some slack. He or she may have just been trying to toe the party line and stay in good standing with the denominational leadership. If you underestimate how much pressure the leadership is willing to put on pastors, you need to review what just happened at First Presbyterian, Hollywood (CA).

Pasters aren't worth a dime if they feel they have to praise sucide bombing Jew haters to get along with the evil bast@rds in their church. Why bother?

The heck with cutting the Pastor some slack, cut and run instead! The Honk Honk alert should work inside Church too.

If the Pastor does not understand the Jews, how much of the Bible does he understand, vs how much denominational training? You have to ask yourself, does your pastor lead the way to heaven, or does God and the Bible.

Because, if he can see the "suffering" of the Palestinians, but not see the suffering of the Jews, your Pastor is leading you to a different place than God is.
