Jewish Groups Angered by Presbyterian Statement on Anti-Jewish Bias

Revisions give a pro-Palestinian slant, they say.

Nicole Neroulias, Religion News Service | posted 6/17/2008 09:24AM

A new Presbyterian statement against anti-Jewish bias has instead prompted an outcry from national Jewish agencies, whose leaders call it a major setback in efforts to improve interfaith relations.

Why is ANY!!! thing critical or even questioning about the jews and Israel, "anti-semetic"? There is much that needs to be talked about here, alot since 1945 and before. Certainly the role played by jews today in American politics and our national life is under discussion and needs to be brought to light. There are several new books about the part played by international jews since WWI out that bring difficult insights up for us all to think over. I feel as an American we have been fed way to much evil propaganda about alot of things and the jews. Can any of you think of ANY other group that demands this much attention or has so much historical bones in thei closet? Really, every group has their stories and baggage, certainly my own British roots contain has their share, but who promotes all the jewish news that fills our news everyday---are other groups this interested? I doubt it. The FACT that I feel guilty and slightly anxious about even bringing up these topics is wrong.

I'm very sorry about the tone of the other comments, too! You people who are so quick to criticize the Presbyterian church might want to enlighten yourselves a little bit by reading what the Babylonian Talmud has to say about Jesus Christ and his followers. Do you people even know what the Babylonian Talmud is? If not, you better find out.

The problem is that everyday Presbyterians don't agree with what these 1960's hate America people who have infiltrated the Church believe. 1st homosexuality, now hate Israel, pro-social beliefs that aren't Jesus's beliefs. The pro-social beliefs today are humanist saying man can correct everything without God, but Jesus didn't say to rely on Govern for perfecting society, Jesus said "you" meaning individuals must help the poor outside of government. As for Israel, Jesus is a Jew, a child of the Jewish religion not of Islam as the Palestianian Arabs are. Israel was in Canaan centuries before Arabs and Palistinia was inhabited by roaming bands of tent living peoples. The Jews were there first centuries ago and are just taking back their land. If I was having Canada dropping at least 50 rockets on me everyday, I would be wiping them out not just controlling my hitting back. These true humanist idiots need to start looking at who is the real bad guy and it ain't Israel.

The fact is, very little in the Jewish "state" was purchased at a fair price fr/owners; the vast majority of what the invading terrorists fr/Eastern Europe&America took was over the bloodied bodies of thousands of Palestinian Arabs--and some other Gentiles--whom they attacked. Even if peace could be had w/out it, justice demands that these rogue-pariahs finally be taught their lesson: All ill-gotten property must be returned to its rightful owners/their heirs or assigns, before the sins can be forgiven.

Please consider the PCUSA's stance on this issue in light of their many other liberal stances they take (i.e, homosexuality, abortion, questioning the divinity of Jesus Christ, inerrancy of Scripture, etc.) Study the facts and you'll see the PCUSA is nothing short of an apostate organization that puts the will of man over the will of God. That's why millions have been leaving the denomination over the past few decades. As Christians we are commanded to live by the Word of God. Who will you give your allegience to? The Lord Jesus Christ or culture?

Anti-Jewish my yellow keester... having a pro-Palestinian slant doesn't make anyone anti-Jewish. Extreme Zionism is tribalism at its worst. The Palestinians were also created in God's image. I understand the reasons why the Israeli nation-state was built, primarily in reaction to the Holocaust. But hindsight is 20/20, and we ought to see where we made our mistakes and ask for forgiveness and work towards compromise *instead of * being bullheaded about it and claiming the Palestinians should just go somewhere else.

What a great sad news! This is my e-mail copy of what sent to Prebyterian (USA) with grammar corrected. I am aghast. I just read it with sadness and anger your article "Vigilance against anti-Jewish bias" traced from CT article. Regrettably, this is pure and simple proclamation of anti-Jewish spirit which is all the more prevalent in USA and in the world. You Presbyterians are finally reveald your heritage of in the line of atrocious practice again the people simply because they are after the manner of the Roman Catholics, and, even the reformist Luther himself who vehemently spit out his delusion during his last days. Well done! And done with! In the name of our Lord, Yesu. I'm grateful I'm not a US-Presbyterian. Lord, I'm sorry I am even called a Christian! I know what you meant when you said there will be so few! So few to find and go through your narrow gate.
