The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) voted Monday to divest from Israel bonds and begin the process of encouraging two companies it believes are contributing to human rights abuses against Palestinians in the occupied territories to quit their practices.

The sooner Israel is no longer America's effective King, the better.

Israel is rapidly working on forfeiting having a right to exist.

It really shouldn't have been created in the first place, at least not where it is. It would have made more sense to have created it out of a chunk of Germany after WWII - if it was created at all, which it really shouldn't have been, because ethno-religious states should really NOT exist at all.

That's why I'm really more in favor of a one-state solution. Give Palestinians full rights, end apartheid, set up a robust secular constitution, and call it a day.

South Africa had the guts to end apartheid, and go to a one person, one vote democracy. There is absolutely no chance that today's Israel will give up its dream of ethnically cleansing the Palestinian people off the map, and making the world forget about the millions of Palestinians locked inside the Occupied Territories.

Israel doesn't need to kill anymore in Gaza.

That sure sounds illegal to put into practice in most of America.

Is this supposed to be an end-around on anti-BDS laws, because it represents a deeply held religious belief?

(Washington, DC) " Many United States states are using anti-boycott laws and executive orders to punish companies that refuse to do business with illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, Human Rights Watch said today. More than 250 million Americans, some 78 percent of the population, live in states with anti-boycott laws or policies. www.hrw.org

That's an interesting position.

The same actions that created a jewish homeland also created a Palestinian homeland. You can't tell me that "Palestine" is not also an "ethno-religious" state. It was designed that way, and is far more ethno-religious than Israel.

Furthermore, Pakistan was created under the same conditions. Was that a mistake as well?

And why would a chunk of Germany be a more suitable location for Israel? Would it have been as suitable for Palestine? How about Pakistan?

If your eyes and your ears and your mind and your heart are all coming to the conclusion that Israel is committing Genocide against the Palestinian peoples, then they are most likely anti-Semitic and pro-Hamas. Beat them down with a stick, like an unwelcome -------- after meeting a distant cousin at a Family Reunion.

And always remember, your feelings have not been officially authorized by Israel or the IDF so they do not count anyway.

And also remember that if you ever pitch a tent on a college campus in protest your name will be placed on a list and you may be someday targeted by an "official" flying POTUS killbot during your next overseas vacation.

Just be patient and wait for the IDF to finish investigating itself so you will know the truth.

That depends. How much of congress and the mainstream media does Pakistan currently own/influence? Are they able to stand on their own two feet militarily or do they need to suck on an American --- for their whole existence just to exist?

"The entire Israel Air Force relies completely on American aircraft: fighter planes, transport planes, refueler planes and helicopters. All of Israel's air power is based on the American commitment to defend Israel. We have no other reliable source for essential supplies of equipment, munitions and advanced weapons that Israel cannot manufacture on its own." -Ehud Olmert

Because Germany took far more lives and property from the Jews than Palestine ever could.

What Palestinian homeland? The Jewish Homeland does not acknowledge the existence of any Palestinian home nation. Neither does Germany for that matter.

But you are cool with that as long as the official state religion is Islam?

If they aren't using American taxpayers' $$$ and weaponry to oppress, injure, de-limb, mangle, murder, torture, rape, and genocide a native population then I don't really mind. But Darkvader might have a differing opinion.

Yeah. I guess you don't understand the meaning of the phrase "from the river to the sea."

It's literally a call for genocide.

Israel said it first, the Arabs took it up later. Now both use it.

Was it a call for Genocide when the Jews were saying it?

Is it one now? Or only if the A-rab's say it?

Askin' for a Friend.

Lol, you sound like one of those white, racist South Afrikaners who used to argue that ending the apartheid system in SA and giving everyone an equal vote would be a "a recipe for slaughter in South Africa" or those SA white supremacists who were saying that anti-racist activists were actually not interested in ending apartheid as a policy, but "South Africa as a society and culture". There were also those other racist fearmongers who used the tactic to paint activists as motivated by "anti-white racism", or fueled by "black imperialism".

All these tactics have been worn out by the colonialist zionists and their predicable shills. The world at large is not buying it any longer.
