Were the Methodists right?  …or wrong?  …vote against divesting from corporations profiting from the occupation of Palestinian lands?  What do you think?

Any discussion of the theology, ideology, internal politics of any older main line denomination as regards Israel as both a secular nation-state and what it means to be Jewish will always come back to the matters of fairness and balance. The religious as well as secular left has always had in its cross-hairs companies, organization, entities that seemingly tilt against their vested interests, big public labor unions, groups with a victimization narrative, and those whom they just do not like. Replace Cat with Walmart, Exon-Mobil, more or less same polemics and dogma.

When the UM, PCUSA, ELCA, EPCUSA wish to black-list, boycott, or move to divest from Lukoil, Semens, Nokia, Saudi Aramco that has contracts and concessions with the PLO, Hamas in the territories then I think they will be taken seriously. Until then nothing more than posturing which boarders on ant-semitism. The PCUSA will sooner or later realize Jews are done moving and done letting bombers on buses to Tel Aviv to please or curry their favor.
