Presbyterians urge US to end Israel aid
Sat, 10 Jul 2010 08:31:58 GMT


Presbyterian leaders have supported a proposal that calls for an end to US aid to Israel unless Tel Aviv stops its settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian land.

The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, in its meeting in Minneapolis on Friday, approved a 172-page report, which details their church's approach to issues in the Middle East.

The report, approved by an 82 percent vote, affirmed previous positions of the church, including a call for the US to withhold aid to Israel if it builds new West Bank settlements, The Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.

It was met with immediate criticism from pro-Israel organizations and Jewish groups.

Earlier in July, Tel Aviv declared that it plans to construct 2,700 new settlement units in the West Bank.

International community has repeatedly declared that Israel is violating international law by expanding its settlements in the occupied Palestinian land, including al-Quds (Jerusalem).

“Settlement construction should stop, as should measures which discriminate against Palestinian residents of the city and the ability of Palestinians to access the city [al-Quds],” UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said earlier this month.

Since 1985, the US has reportedly provided nearly $3 billion in grants annually to Israel.

I recall reading somewhere about a year ago that the Methodist church made a similar proposal to stop aid to Israelie, but I have yet to hear any more about it.

Still, it is nice to hear of them speaking against giving federal aide to Israel.
Kind of refreshing to hear, maybe they will realize how evil the Jew really is.
I really hope this catches on with everyone and people start to realize that the
Jew is not the chosen people but the devil in disguise.

These Presbyterians are sure to land on the "Home Grown Terrorist" list. And what about $3 billion in aid since 1985? That surely isn't right- the US has given much more than that.

That 3 billion I think is "only" their hoaxacaust judgement payoff from the federal govt.. I believe in 2006 it had been determined that almost 130 billion was payed to Itsalie by the USA that year alone!!!! No wonder they are the only country who apparently is not experiencing economic hardship. I can't wait to see these scum burn! It sends shivers up and down my spine just thinking about it.

The United States gives so-called Israel about 30 billion a year.
