Needless to say, they take a dim view of anti-Semitic teaching such as appears in this article. The argument that the Jews were made unnecessary and discarded by God in the New Testament has been the rationale for anti-Jewish pogroms and the holocaust. The statements in this article are not quite that strong, but that is the ultimate logic that underlies them.

I'm sorry. Does rejecting the Dispensationalist view in favor of the Covenant Theology (Reformed) view automatically make one anti-Semitic and in the same boat as leftists and Nazis?

No, what the Rev. Kemper is doing is disguising anti-Semitic teaching as "Reformed theology," and then further states that anyone who believes otherwise is a "dispensationalist."

No, rejecting the dispensationalist view does not make one anti-Semitic. However, this action, and others, of the PCUSA, a Reformed Theology denomination, is the result of anti-Semitism in the leadership of that church IMO. Any organization that condemns and economically punishes Israel for defending itself against fanatical Islamic terrorism is in the anti-Semitic "boat" AFAIC.

I emphatically reject any doctrine that claims God's promises to Israel were not unconditional and eternal, but I can still fellowship with other Christians who hold to that doctrine. What I can't tolerate or compromise with is the notion that the modern nation of Israel is an alien intruder on Arab lands. That false premise is clearly contradicted by history and by God's own word. Any organization or nation that persecutes Israel or the Jews in general is poking it's finger in God's eye, and history is littered with the wreckage of those nations which have done so.
