Presbyterian Church USA redefines "slavery" to say Palestinians are slaves to Jews

On Martin Luther King Jr. day, Rev. Dr. J. Herbert Nelson, II, the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church USA, offended all decent humans by saying Israeli Jews are slave owners and Palestinians are their slaves:The continued occupation in Palestine/Israel is 21st-century slavery and should be abolished immediately. Given the history of Jewish humble...

Presbyterian Church leader blames Jews for antisemitism

We've seen the rabid Israel hatred and antisemitism of the Presbyterian Church USA in the past. (Even liberal and progressive Jews have found that PCUSA statements crossed the line into antisemitism.) That hate continues. The Stated Clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Reverend Dr. J. Herbert Nelson II, issued a statement against the...

What the Presbyterians Lost (Divest This!)

Well it’s another even-numbered year, which means the Presbyterian Church in the USA (or PCUSA) got together for their bi-annual conclave (called a General Assembly) to (1) condemn Israel while ignoring virtually all other suffering in the Middle East; and (2) put a brave face their latest membership decline as their denomination continues towards oblivion.

The J Street contingent almost seems beside themselves in bewilderment. John Rosove,...

What the PCUSA is saying (Zvi)

I noted on Friday that PCUSA had passed a resolution that included this language: In The Jewish Daily Forward, August 2013, Larry Derfner writes on racism in Israel: The ADL [Anti-Defamation League] goes after anti-Semitism with a fist, it goes after Israeli racism with a sigh. As a matter of fact, the ADL and the entire American Jewish establishment should suspend their...

Perhaps the most problematic resolution passed by the Presbyterian Church USA was not the divestment resolution that has received all the headlines, but this one that calls for for the church to revisit whether they support a two-state solution at all. Part of its rationale: B. The Two-State Solution Then and Now [See Map 1 and Map 2 under “Additional Resources.”] These...
