PCUSA's decision to divest from Israel.

Why exactly are they doing this? Do they object to Israel defending herself (like the building of the fence, for instance)? Are they offended by Israel's close ties to the Bush Administration?

Er, yes yes and yes. Go to PCUSA.org and use their search function to check out their position on Israel, Sudan, Cuba and a host of other foreign policies. The divestment tactic is something they did at least once before in Sudan. Below is the link to one of the stories and a follow up google of Canada's Talisman Oil Company eventually tells us PCUSA was successful in getting them to move out of doing busines in Sudan because of pressure from stockholders.

Has it changed the situation in Sudan one iota? No.
