Methodist Church Rejects Israel Divestment, Withdraws From Anti-Israel Coalition

[King_David]

The United Methodist Church (UMC) voted down four resolutions that called on the Church to divest from companies doing business with Israel.

At its May 10-20 General Conference in Portland, Ore., the UMC also voted—478 in favor and 318 against—to withdraw its membership, financial support, and staff participation from the “U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation,” a coalition encouraging boycotts of Israel.

2. BDS is taking a licking lately. Corbyn's Labour haters busted....

It's about time these Jew hating freaks are exposed for the drek they are.

3. It's a bit early to declare victory - the reasons for promoting BDS aren't going away anytime soon.

The new Israeli Defense Minister may cause new reasons for BDS - He's not exactly known for his love of democracy, and it's doubtful that the Palestinians in the West Bank and Jerusalem will prosper under him.

The battle for and against BDS is interesting and will continue for a long time.

5. There are no good reasons for promoting BDS. n/t
