Good fences make good neighbors. BTW, we should be building TWO of these in America. One on our northern border and one on our southern.
For the Lutherans not enough Jews are getting killed by suicide bombers and masked Paleostinian gunmen. Same for the other Protestant sects that have been hijacked by socialists and homos
One more once-great institution has made an obvious left-turn, into anti-semitism. Poor Israel. Why doesn't the Lutheran Church just ask the Jews to drink some homemade Kool-Aid?
Their spiritual leader was a man who never spent more than 60 seconds on the can because he was afraid the devil would fly up his bottom.
I suppose anything might make sense if you accept that.
I wonder if the Lutherans ever contemplated the reasons for the security wall? Could it possibly be repeated Palestinian suicide bombings? Hamas' vows to push Israel into the sea? Nah!
Let's see the Lutherans back this up with a $100,000 payment to every Israeli family that loses a family member to a Palestinian terrorist. This church has been taken over by liberals who now worship Satan.
Peace = Walls, idiots.
And who cares?
The headline "U.S. Lutherans Criticize Israeli Security Wall" does NOT include the conservative Missouri Synod Lutheran Church of which I'm a member.
The ELCA is a breakaway branch of the American Lutheran Church. Its leaders dishonor the name "Lutheran".
The ELCA is much in the news these days for multiple mindless left/liberal toots and benders.

---Well, the neighborhood bully, he's just one man,
His enemies say he's on their land.
They got him outnumbered about a million to one,
He got no place to escape to, no place to run.
He's the neighborhood bully.
The neighborhood bully just lives to survive,
He's criticized and condemned for being alive.
He's not supposed to fight back, he's supposed to have thick skin,
He's supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in.
He's the neighborhood bully.
The neighborhood bully been driven out of every land,
He's wandered the earth an exiled man.
Seen his family scattered, his people hounded and torn,
He's always on trial for just being born.
He's the neighborhood bully.
Well, he knocked out a lynch mob, he was criticized,
Old women condemned him, said he should apologize.
Then he destroyed a bomb factory, nobody was glad.
The bombs were meant for him.
He was supposed to feel bad.
He's the neighborhood bully.
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim
That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him,
'Cause there's a noose at his neck and a gun at his back
And a license to kill him is given out to every maniac.
He's the neighborhood bully.
He got no allies to really speak of.
What he gets he must pay for, he don't get it out of love.
He buys obsolete weapons and he won't be denied
But no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side.
He's the neighborhood bully.
Well, he's surrounded by pacifists who all want peace,
They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease.
Now, they wouldn't hurt a fly.
To hurt one they would weep.
They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep.
He's the neighborhood bully.
Every empire that's enslaved him is gone,
Egypt and Rome, even the great Babylon.
He's made a garden of paradise in the desert sand,
In bed with nobody, under no one's command.
He's the neighborhood bully.
Now his holiest books have been trampled upon,
No contract he signed was worth what it was written on.
He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth,
Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health.
He's the neighborhood bully.
What's anybody indebted to him for?
Nothin', they say.
He just likes to cause war.
Pride and prejudice and superstition indeed,
They wait for this bully like a dog waits to feed.
He's the neighborhood bully.
What has he done to wear so many scars?
Does he change the course of rivers?
Does he pollute the moon and stars?
Neighborhood bully, standing on the hill,
Running out the clock, time standing still,
Neighborhood bully.---
Bob Dylan
I really wish that headline writers would specify that this just one BRANCH of Lutheranism, not all of us!
BTW - the ELCA is so far from the historic Lutheran teachings, they should just give up the Lutheran title and go with something like ECA instead.
And this stupid liberal "call for peace" comes in the very week that Israel is removing Israelis from holy lands where they will never be permitted to return, because Jews will be banned from Palestine. And reports that Hamas is planing to move into Gaza to replace the Jews?
Have the Lutherans ever commented on the fact that muslims forbid them from carrying Bibles or wearing crosses if - they are even permitted to visit the Judeao-Christian holy site known as Mt Moriah? Maybe Bethlehem will be next?
Attention Lutherans- next, how about about supporting "peace" and showing solidarity with North Korea by demanding that South Korea and the USA eliminate the DMZ?
Martin Luther is spinning in his grave and the door on the Roman Church at Worms has fallen down...
Breaking news:
ELCA Leadership Clueless...
Water is wet...
Ice is cold...

I have to believe that most of the people in the pews just do not know what these Kumbaya-singing dingbats are up to. A few of us are refusing to surrender our church to the loonies, but it is an uphill fight. Being insulted by non-ELCA FReepers does not make it any easier.
..................
Good grief, another Lutheran lunacy. These folks have never read their Bible or know how God feels about Israel, the apple of His eye. Touch Israel, folks, and you are doomed.
are these the same ones that want Evangelical Homosexuals in the Clergy???When the Lutherans deal with their own, very public, mess, then they can criticize Israel's efforts to keep itself safe.
Lutherans and reform Jews
go together like SS and Kapo
Let them preach to the Amelekites!
