Uproar Over UK Methodist Report on Israel
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Simon Rocker - Jewish leaders have condemned a "skewed" report on Israel prepared by the Methodist Church, warning it could set back interfaith relations for years. The report, to be debated at the church's national conference later this month, calls for a boycott of goods from "illegal" West Bank settlements, and political lobbying to end Israel's occupation and the "siege of Gaza." Over the past few days, Jewish organizations in London and Manchester have protested about its contents in meetings with Methodist representatives.
