I know that there are at least two major Presbyterian denominations in the US. Any difference in attitudes towards Israel between them?

Depending on where you want to draw the line, there are over a dozen presbyterian denominations in this country, admittedly, most are not 'major'. The story deals with the largest, leftwing PCUSA.

The second largest, PCA, has not adopted a position paper on Israel. There may have been an overture adopted at some point, but that denomination tends to try to stick to moral issues, rather than political ones.

Oh yeah. PC-USA is the one doing this. Not the PCA (Presbyterian Church in America) or the Orthodox Presbyterian church as far as I know. PC-USA is extremely liberal right now and may be going the way of the Episcopal church.
