The World Council of Churches (WCC), the inter-Christian organization of mainstream Protestant churches, is at it again in its continuing campaign against Israel. In 2013, one of its units, the Palestine Israel Ecumenical Forum (PIEF), invited WCC member churches, faith-based communities, and civil society organizations working for justice, to join together for a week in a proclaimed World Week for Peace in Palestine Israel (WWPPI). The purpose was advocacy and action in support of an "end to the illegal occupation of Palestine and a just peace for all in Palestine and in Israel."
Everyone with stakes in the Middle East, Christian, and non-Christian, must welcome a just peace, but does the WWPPI really do so? Churches and other groups in at least 22 countries joined this initiative of the PIEF in September 2013. The theme of the Week held in September 2013 was "Jerusalem, the city of justice and peace." The aim of the event was clearly stated. It was to promote a just peace in Palestine, but also an end to the "illegal Israeli occupation."

The WCC and its unit PIEF flatter themselves on their "audacious courage" in upholding the Kairos Palestine Document. If courage is defined by historical inaccuracy and travesty and wholly slanted politics, they may be justified. It is one thing to challenge what they call misuse of the Bible by those who disagree with them, and it is proper they should pray for justice. It is quite another for them to call for boycott, divestment, and sanctions and other forms of non-violent action against Israel while not calling for unconditional peace negotiations without preconditions. The real truth is that the WCC lack of balance -- of which its members should be ashamed, not proud -- is profoundly un-Christian.
