...the Evangelical,Lutheran Church in America, when not abbreviated... | Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton wrote to Bishop Sani Ibrahim Azar of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land, responding to his Pentecost statement "Liberation, Not Annexation."
...The Rev. Rafael Malpica Padilla, executive director of ELCA Global Mission, said that one should be aware of the connection between the Israeli government’s repressive tactics against Palestinians and those taking place against people of color in a number of localities around the United States.
"As it has been reported
[only reports of this kind were from Paleo terrorist dupes]
the kind of police tactics used to kill George Floyd are among those taught to a number of police departments that have taken part in training by Israeli police and military forces," Malpica Padilla said. "For example, 100 Minneapolis police officers received counterterrorism training from Israelis at a conference held in 2012."
[that's not true either, it was 100 Minnesota Troopers and they weren't taught combat skills]
Malpica Padilla also emphasized how the detention of migrant families and children seeking shelter in the United States is comparable to the plight of many Palestinian children.
