U.S. CHURCHES TAKE STAND AGAINST ISRAELI OCCUPATION.


[+] serious ballot by Liberal_Democrat
created Sat Nov 20, 04

Appalled by squalid living conditions of Palestinians in the occupied territories, several American churches have decided to take a stand against the Israeli occupation by proposing a "divestment of holdings by multinational corporations doing business with Israel" who, they say, are profiting from the occupation.


So far the Church, Judism and Islam have all condemned Zionism. Is the world finally understanding that Zionism isn't the way?


Yes, it's happening
No, it isn't happening
I'm not sure

I'm thinking, everybody does business with Israel, so you'd have to boycott everything. I'd say boycott business that do business directly with the Israeli government, especially industries connected with the Palestinian occupation. I don't think boycotting Coca-Cola is going to do much.

That said, the Catholic and mainline Protestant churches have already joined mainstream Judaism and almost all of Islam in the outrage. That leaves only Christian fundamentalists (at least of the Dispensationalist breed) and hardline Zionists as the defenders of Sharon and the Likud Bloc. And they won't change.

GDP per capita:

Israel - $19,800
Gaza Strip - $600
West Bank - $800

I used to think the Palestinians were nuts until I learned all about their situation. If I was oppressed to the point of no return and had to live that way of life, I would be blowing people up too.

The world already knows that, Americans are just starting to realize it.

That's what I was thinking about suicide bombing. I don't think that religion has everything to do with it. If you are a Palestinian, who has lost everything; family killed, house bombed, they have nothing to live for, then they are going to take revenge any way possible, because they have nothing to live for!

It's more of a thing out of nationalism. Since religion has a lot to do with nationalism in that area they add that "Warrior of God" part.

FYI

The churches which take stand against Israeli occupations are:

The Presbyterians Church

Presbyterians Church has received written threats to burn down the churches because of their decision to deinvest in Israel. The Churches have not changed their stand.

Feeliing heat, Episcopal Church backs away from their deinvestment in Israel.

Please support the courgeous Presbyterians Church's moral stand.

That's the same thing Al-Jazeera said. The ZOA (Zionists of America) is accusing the Church of trying to convert Jews to Christianity with those political moves.

These aren't really churches. These "churches" are declining in membership at a phenomenal rate accordin to an article in "The Economist". While evangelical, Catholics, and traditionalists are expanding at a great rate.

You lose again. Haha

I hope so zionisim is racism, its just as bad as white supremacy. But I have nothing against the Jews though and I hope you don’t to.
