From Jewish Weekly-
Is some of the anger that mainline
Protestant churches in America have shown in recent years toward Israel
regarding its treatment of Palestinians beginning to cool?
That’s the suggestion of the Jewish
community’s point man on outreach to Protestant churches, Ethan Felson,
in assessing a busy summer of votes on Middle East resolutions at their
national conventions.
Both the Presbyterian Church USA and the Episcopal
Church this summer supported moderate resolutions, offering a balance to
ones in favor of the Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions (BDS) movement
that would isolate Israel economically, said Felson, executive director
of the Israel Action Network (IAM); the network was created by Jewish
Federations of North America in partnership with the Jewish Council for
Public Affairs (JCPA). He offered his update in a webinar interview last
week conducted by JCPA President David Bernstein titled “Mainline
Protestants and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Where Do We Go From
Here?”
