Long ago the prophet Yeshaya warned, "Your ruiners and destroyers will come from amongst you" (49:17). It is doubtful whether that the truth of those words has ever been more evident than today.
Last week the leaders of the Presbyterian Church, meeting in Birmingham, Alabama, engaged in three days of searching debate over whether to rescind a 2004 resolution calling for divestment from Israel. Similar resolutions have been passed in recent years by the Anglican Church of England and the American Episcopalian Church.
Divestment resolutions are of immense propaganda value because they embed in the public mind a connection between Israel and the former apartheid regime of South Africa, against which divestment was pursued with great effect. Fear of being labeled an apartheid regime with a minority of Jews ruling over a majority Arab population was a major impetus behind Ariel Sharons decision to withdraw from Gaza.

Do these people not read the Bible, or even think?
I can't understand this at all.
Man, God is going to be so mad, and not at Israel.
And they just ok-ed homosexuals, now they vote to again stick it to Israel! After 50 years as a presbyterian, I'm looking for a church of CHRISTIANS, know any?
God will discipline modern Israel for forsaking Him for materialistic humanism.
However, I agree, His greater anger will be toward those willfully blind to Biblical truths who hurt and sought to hurt Israel.
So? It's their money, for them to invest, disinvest, or patronize anyone with, as they see fit. When I boycott [or am trying to] the things made in China and France, and go out of my way to buy Denmark products, I exercise the same right - and this right [freedom of association and of dissociation] is to be conceded to them absolutely.
Filth...soap!

Whats not to understand. They have turned against God.
Hear ya. Yeah, Catholicism.
not sure but "Enemy Within" is the title of an episode of old Star Trek. (transporter accident splits Kirk into to Kirks)
"I'm looking for a church of CHRISTIANS, know any?"
Seriously. it doesn't have a steeple or a creed; it has one pastor, the Good Shepherd, and for centuries it's been hiding out in the hills from the visible church. When you get near it you will hear:
" - - ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant" - Hebrews 12:22
It's sanctuary, the human heart:
" Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him." - John 14:23
We catholics will welcome you with open arms, brother.
