"There is a genocide in Darfur, an occupied people in Tibet, persecutions of religious leaders in China, the disappearing of Christians into the North Korean Gulag, but the UCC leadership has passed a divestment resolution against only one nation, the nation of Israel," said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Wiesenthal Center. "The UCC Synod has also voted to demand that Israel lay her citizens defenseless before Palestinian suicide terror. By treating Israel within a different moral yardstick that the rest of the world, these moves are functionally antisemitic, undercut the forces of peace and moderation, and embolden the forces of terrorism. Finally, these resolutions make a mockery of a previous commitment by the UCC to combat antisemitism. The concerns, hopes and aspirations of world Jewry have been swept aside and relations with the Jewish community have been severely damaged," Cooper continued.
I went with the Wiesenthal Center because i wanted to frame this correctly.
More General Assembly condemnations then all the other nations so condemed put togther.
More acts of the security council then any other nation.
And now the "progressives" (like their political kin in other countries) are likewise abandoning Israel.
Funny thing, because with these progressive christians being the next big focus of the Democratic party we may see another election (1980,2004) where the Jewish vote doesn't come out strong for the democrats when and more importantly where they need them most
