| Presbyterian Study Guide Equates Zionism With Racism. |
| 2014-02-15 |
| (Huffpoo, Religious News Service article) Major Jewish civil rights groups are denouncing a new publication distributed by the Presbyterian Church (USA) that rejects the existence of Israel as a Jewish state. “Zionism Unsettled,” a study guide published last month by the Israel/Palestine Mission Network, a group chartered by the church, writes of the “pathology” of Zionism, the movement undergirding the founding of Israel as a Jewish homeland. The booklet describes Zionism as inherently discriminatory toward non-Jews. It calls on Christians to see the conflict through the lens of Palestinian Christians who have declared Zionism “heretical” and “a doctrine that promotes death rather than life.” Can't begin to fathom why, but I fear the IS/Palestine Mission Network may have taken liberties with actual Presbyterian beliefs and doctrine. |

| #4 Yet it's the Zionists who are racist. They are not blending in properly. A good joooo blends in and doesn't stir the shit. |

| #3 Funny how this works. Arabs/Muslims have Israeli citizenship. Meanwhile the Palestinian Authority pledges to remove all Jews once a final peace deal is achieved, and you can't be an open Jew and live in Saudi Arabia. Yet it's the Zionists who are racist. |

| #2 PC (USA) is the historical branch of American Presbyterianism, and the most liberal branch, but it is also the branch that is down 50% from peak. The various more conservative and evangelical branches have been growing for the last half century at its expense. This kind of thing is typical of the braying antisemitic asses. |

| #1 It calls on Christians to see the conflict through the lens of Palestinian Christians who have declared Zionism "heretical" and "a doctrine that promotes death rather than life." The Paleo Christians might turn their lens on the Cult of Death very close at hand instead of the Zionists if they want to understand a pathology of death. |
