(AP) Yousur Alhlou - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday criticized the decision by the Presbyterian Church (USA) to divest from U.S. companies that operate in the West Bank, saying the vote was misguided and unfair. "When the Middle East is fragmented in this horrible war, this savage, savage war between militant Shiites and militant Sunnis...the only place where you have freedom, tolerance, protection of minorities, protection of gays, protection of Christians and all other faiths is Israel," said Netanyahu. "Let's arrange a bus tour for (Presbyterians) in the region. Let them go to maybe Syria, Lebanon, Iraq. And my only suggestion for them...it be in an armor-plated bus, and...they shouldn't announce that they're Christians."
