Director of Interfaith Affairs. “

It takes place under the administration of an anti-Semitic Stated Clerk, Rev. Dr. J. Herbert Nelson II, and is the culmination of a decade-long anti-Israel, anti-Jewish agenda from the church’s leadership in Louisville.”

Prior to the vote, the American Jewish Congress (AJC) labeled the resolution as “unjust” and “just plain wrong,” then encouraged the GA to reject the resolution.

“We urge the PCUSA assembly at large to swiftly vote down this clear example of antisemitic, anti-Israel disparagement,” AJC said.

ISRAEL AND APARTHEID NATION?

The activist group Presbyterian for Middle East Peace (PfMEP) pointed out that the resolution breaches PCUSA’s own policies.

“The overture violates PCUSA policy, effectively demanding that Israel end its own existence and deny Jews the right of self-determination. It is important to note that seventy percent of PCUSA commissioners voted to approve this,” said PfMEP Pastor John Wimberly. “But 70 percent of Presbyterians would not agree.”
