CAMERA’s Dexter Van Zile sounds the alarm about another wave of anti-Zionism that could be hitting the Presbyterian Church (USA):
By now it’s axiomatic that most of the people in the Presbyterian Church (USA) object to the obsession the denomination’s peace activists have for the alleged sins of Israel, the Jewish state.
Most Presbyterians sense there is something unseemly about the manner in which church staffers and activists regularly condemn Israel without acknowledging the manifest sins of its adversaries or the ideology that animates hostility toward Israel in the Middle East.
Nevertheless, a small and persistent group of church staffers and activists continue in their ongoing effort to portray Israel as uniquely worthy of the PC(USA)’s condemnation. Their activities quicken in the months before the denomination’s General Assembly which takes place every two years.
Anyone who is a member of a PCUSA-affiliated congregation, take note. Pay attention to what church leadership, especially at the national level, is doing. And be prepared to voice your objections to any anti-Israel initiatives that could be in the offing.
