Jewish Groups Protest United Church of Christ Sanctions on Israel
(Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) Steve Levin - A United Church of Christ resolution urging divestment from American companies doing business with Israel in the West Bank and Gaza will be voted on by delegates to the national church's general synod that begins Friday in Atlanta. This week, the Simon Wiesenthal Center sent a letter to national church leaders asking that the proposals be dropped. Jewish leaders say such efforts are one-sided, since none requires cessation of Palestinian terrorist acts, or an end to anti-Israel incitement in Palestinian schools and media.
