(Algemeiner) Dexter Van Zile - Four years ago, the United Church of Christ (UCC) in the U.S., which regularly condemns Israel while remaining silent about jihadist violence against Christians in Iraq, Syria, and Egypt, said it was going to divest from Israel. But it hasn't happened. The UCC's $3.2 billion retirement fund is still invested in three blacklisted companies: Caterpillar ($1.7 million), Hewlett-Packard ($437,000), and Motorola ($342,000). No matter what stocks the UCC's General Synod said people should not own, the UCC Pension Boards are not bound by General Synod resolutions and were free to do whatever is needed to achieve the return on investment promised to the retired clergy it serves. This confirms that anti-Israel divestment resolutions are just a charade, used to generate hostility toward the Jewish state and its supporters in the U.S. The whole point was to use divestment motions to turn church-wide assemblies into venues for anti-Israel witch trials.
