The largest Presbyterian group in the US is considering divesting from three major global companies over the Israeli military’s use of their products in the Palestinian territories. The proposal before the Presbyterian Church (USA) has outraged many Jewish groups, who sent representatives to the church’s national assembly in Pittsburgh this week to lobby against the measure. Divestment supporters say the targeted companies — Caterpillar Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co. and Motorola — are profiting from Palestinian suffering. The American Jewish Committee, a public policy group, has said the proposal demonizes Israel and threatens Christian-Jewish relations. Debate and vote were scheduled for late

A "Progressive" church.

Yeah, another moribund branch of the shriveling Mainline. Soon it will only await the death-dealing homosexual lobby to prune off the last remaining green leaves, as they have the ECUSA and the ELCA.

Isn't this the one that's no longer Christian?

There's no risk to endangering Jewish and Christian relationships then.

If they put their money where their mouths were they would disinvest from Israel and invest in the Palestinian market. ;-D

Yes. They are Pro-Homo too.

Two Jews and two Scots walk into a Presbyterian bar...

Good Presbyterians have to take back control of their church. (This all got started with a couple of Syrians, as I recall, moving into church positions ....check it out...).
Good Presbyterians have read their Bibles.... And they are definitely on Israel’s side...and against this Satanic krap rotting out their church from inside...
