BYE BYE CHRISTIAN RIGHT
The piece over at LGF: U.S. Presbyterians target companies linked with Israel will splinter the Christian Right/GOP alliance once and for all. Many "Christian" denominations were at the core of the old KKK that hated Jews as much as Blacks. Make no mistake, this is a big deal politically. Big. Right Wing has further takes. It seems like a lot of Protestant "religions" are also going after any company doing business with Israel. The only parts of Christianity who are in Israel's corner are the "evangelicals" and the Catholic Church. And like "Right Wing," I'm not a member of any of those churches going after Israel so what to do? I think you might see how it is that anti-Semitism has taken hold in our University system; it has broad support in the Protestant community.
But as long as the Dems attack Bush for being physically fit (Steyn suggests appointing a "Running Czar"), pretending he has cut education funding (fact: it has increased 50% under Bush), insisting they support "our soldiers in Iraq" while doing their very best to stab them all in the back, anti-Semitic Protestants won't cause trouble in the Democratic or Republican Parties.

You are making a very important point.
I think it is more political correctness infecting the "mainstream" churches than the other way around, but this is disgusting and inexcusable behavior regardless.
Imagine the Israeli parliament (Knesset) pass a law to the effect that any entity (the Presbyterian Church, for example) that initiates or otherwise supports boycott or harm against the State of Israel and/or Israeli interests (like companies, organizations that deal with Israel, etc.) would be declared as aiding Israel's enemies, and as such would be liable to prosecution and punishment on Israel's sovereign territory, expulsion or arrest of its proponents and confiscation of its property, etc., etc.
I am sure that the boycott would have been done with in five minutes. There would be enough Presbyterian or Anglican church goers in Israel to set an example... I could just see the worms squirm...
Sam Gilon,
You Israelis already harass Christian missionaries in the Holy Land.

Some of your erstwhile fans are Protestants, Howie. If you don't want Oraculations to be perceived as an anti-Protestant website, you ought to refrain from making broad brush slurs on Protestantism.

Maybe your missionaries should try operating in Saudi Arabia...
