Compliment in Presbyterian Report Embarrasses J-Street

The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) convening in Minneapolis will debate this week whether to endorse an official church study committee report that compares Israel to the worst regimes of the 20th century, including Nazi Germany. The report, which also mentions ultra-liberal Jewish lobby group J Street as a sign of “hope,” seems to have embarrassed that group.

J Street Vice President Rachel Lerner called out to the Presbyterians to reject the 'study.' She said that the report’s authors never consulted her group before choosing to mention it.

Don't know much about Presbyterians, but I sure hope they're embarassed by this retarded assertion.

So, let me get this straight. Some liberal Presbyterian, inevitably slipping into anitsemitism under the approving oversight of other liberals in the guise of being pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist, is being condemned for approving of, and making mention of, another similar effort, but this time from a nominally Jewish person, that does the same?

Down the rabbit hole we go. As far as I am able to comprehend, J Street is basically saying “don’t approve of my self-hatred, you hater!”

The report mentioned Hamas as being “militant” but fails to note that its charter calls for Israel’s annihilation. It also claims that Iran poses no danger even if it acquires nuclear weapons because it “has not invaded any other country for centuries.” The study further urges that the U.S. cut off aid to the Jewish state in order to “bring Israel to compliance.”

Presbyterians? I'm shaking my head in disbelief.

When a church condemns Israel and embraces homosexual “marriage”, there is a problem.

I’m glad I left the Presbyterian Church almost forty years ago.

This should be a boon to other demoniations, as I am sure many Presbyterians will be running from the church after their liberal elements have endorsed anti-Semitism.

What is this world coming to?

Why is a church doing political "studies" and issuing opinions?

Wha' happened to the liberals' precious separation of church and state?

With “Friends” like JStreet, who needs Heinrich Himmler?

Hopefully, the Presbyterians might be solo demoniating.

J Street is an anti-Israel PR enterprise that wraps itself in the Israeli flag, while taking money from Soros and Arab interests. The last thing they want is for people to figure out they’re a false-flag operation.

This result was apparently “predestined” to happen. Poor old John Calvin would roll over in his grave.

The Presbyterians I know are really good people. I am sickened at the evil done in their name.
