Questioning the tenets of Zionism does not equal alignment with anti-semites, leftists or fascists.

The link above is a statement promulgated by conservative, evangelical Christians, many of them PCA'ers, who caution against the error of Zionism.

As I stated on the duplicate (and previous) thread, I support the state of Israel. I support their war against terror and right to exist - they are a liberal democracy that we should support in spite of their failings.

That said, I won't offer the secular state of Israel my unqualified support and allegiance. It is not my country. And, there are Palestinian Christians - my sympathies are first with them in the Israel-Palestinian conflict as they are often caught between a rock and a hard place.

Folks are right, I think, to criticize us, the PCUSA, for failing to issue similar studies (nothing has been decided on the issue of divestment, only a study was approved) on divesting from Saudi Arabia or Sudan.

The old adage is "the friend of enemy is my enemy."

There is nothing more anti-semitic than those in Palestine who wish to drive Israel into the ocean....the point, of course, being to kill them all (genocide.)

The friend of the anti-semite enemy is my enemy who MIGHT AS WELL BE an anti-semite.

Now, your first loyalty is not to Palestinian Christians above Israel. Your first loyalty is to the truth.

All truth is of God...I am the way, the truth, and the life...
