Presbyterian Group to Fight Anti-Israel Faction in Church


(Algemeiner) Joshua Levitt - A pro-Israel faction called Presbyterians for Middle East Peace said on Thursday it would fight a church document on Zionism described as seeking the "end of the Jewish State of Israel." PFMEP described itself "as a grassroots group of Presbyterian lay and clergy volunteers who want the Presbyterian Church USA to be an effective peacemaker in the Middle East." "The materials in 'Zionism Unsettled' argue that Zionism (a Jewish state) is inherently discriminatory, and that the very idea of a homeland for the Jewish people is illegitimate....The Irish, Armenians, Japanese or Czechs may have a problem with the...vision of a world with no nations rooted in religious or ethnic identity."
