Fighting Back: Presbyterian Committee to End Divestment Now

[Presbyterian Reporter]

There is some really good news regarding the struggle against the divestment charade. A group of US Presbyterians have formed the Committee to End Divestment Now which features a forthright and systematic analysis of the larger issues, and a micro-analysis of church politics and procedural issues, with extensive details regarding the fallacies and errors involved.

They conclude:

These resolutions have shattered our interfaith relations with our Jewish friends. These resolutions have undone a half-century of positive efforts to improve interfaith relations, following our denomination’s less-than-impressive response to the Holocaust. Isolating Israel for punitive action, while not condemning terror-sponsoring states, means that Israel has been unjustly targeted.

Wow, I am really pleasantly surprised.

This is good news for all of us Presby's who have been troubled and have considered leaving. Maybe the stuffed shirts will get their heads out of their collective asses and realize that most God-fearing Christians consider themselves Patriots and distant brothers of Israel.

Well, it's a start. But from what I've seen they have a very looong way to go to wrest control from the lefties in high office of the PCUSA.

From Louisville to Hollywood and elsewhere, they are anti-capitalism, socialist loving lefties with an intolerance for the existance of Israel.

They are deceitful in their ways, many of the people sitting the in pews know little to nothing about the shenaningans of the upper officials.

PCUSA was successful in forcing a Canadian company to withdraw their operations from Sudan (I believe it was) through a similar divestment strongarming. Of coure, afer the Canadian company finally threw in the towel and pulled it's operations, hundreds of Sudanese were out of a job and thugs took over in the area. IOW, it went to hell.

But PCUSA wasn't concerned about that.
