From NewsMax:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed the American Presbyterian Church for voting to divest from three companies that do business with Israeli West Bank security forces.
Speaking to journalists from around the world at the inaugural Jewish Media Summit in Jerusalem on June 22, Netanyahu said the vote was misguided, the Jewish Daily Forward reported.
"The only place [in the Middle East] where you have freedom, tolerance, protection of minorities, protection of gays, of Christians and all other faiths is Israel," he said.
He suggested that American Presbyterian leaders "take a plane, come here and let's arrange a bus tour in the region. Let them go to Libya, Lebanon, Iraq."
But the bus will need armored plates, he suggested. And the visitors should not say they are Christians. Then they should compare what they see to Israel, the "only beacon of freedom" in the region.
The 1.8 million-member church's leaders voted by a slim margin — 310 to 303 —on June 20 to divest the church from Caterpillar, Hewlett-Packard, and Motorola Solutions. Those firms sell products or services to the Israeli security forces that the church said are used to destroy homes and construct and monitor Israeli checkpoints and settlements.
The church will sell about $21 million worth of stock in the three companies.
Church officials stressed that they were not aligning themselves with the international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, which campaigns for a complete boycott of all Israeli goods, the Forward reported.
But in an opinion piece in the Forward published on Wednesday, Jane Eisner writes: "When Jewish treatment of Palestinians is judged worse than the way any other dominant group treats a minority, when it is deemed worthy of unique sanction, when other horrors around the world are ignored — how can I believe that this isn't about the Jews? And that, my Presbyterian friends, is anti-Semitism."
At the media summit, Netanyahu also said "it is the height of folly to allow one of the Islamist camps to have nuclear weapons," referring to Iran. "It will change history."
My comments: These Presbyterians are not Christian but Apostates, ignorant of Bible Prophecy. They are taking a STAND against God's PROMISE to Israel that she will exist FOREVER. In doing so they bring the CURSE of God upon themselves as do all who CURSE Israel.
