Presbyterian Church and Israel

Hooray for J Street! By standing up to the Presbyterian Church's plan to divest from certain companies that do business in Israel including the West Bank settlements, you have put yourself in your proper position as a voice of reason. I too am not a fan of the settlement movement because it is not in the interests of Israel and Zionism. But the Presbyterian divestment plan smells of anti-semitism. Actually it has done the Hewlett-Packard and Caterpillar comapnies a favor. It has placed them on my list of investment possibilities and the lists of others as well.
