Update on Divestment

An update to the controversy in the Presbyterian Church over divestment. You can say one thing for them: they don't act speedily--took one year to decide to "press". (They also added a bank that may have helped channel money to Palestinian terrorists. Presbyterians want to be right, they also want to be perceived to be fair.) They still get called anti-Semitic, though with an adjective.


Threat to Divest Is Church Tool in Israeli Fight - New York Times: "The Presbyterian Church U.S.A. announced Friday that it would press four American corporations to stop providing military equipment and technology to Israel for use in the occupation of the Palestinian territories, and that if the companies did not comply, the church would take a vote to divest its stock in them."
