What's Your Assessment of the PC USA Decision?
 
The Presbyterian Church (USA) has endorsed economic divestiture from Israel, a tactic used to help bring down Apartheid in South Africa years ago. 
 
I'm astounded to read the committee's recommendations, particularly the one calling for Israel to lay aside arrogant ways and enter into negotiations with the Palestinians.  The PLO thugs who are "leading" these people have declined to accept huge concessions from Israel before.  That experimental approach has been tried, and Israel doesn't need to do the experiment again to know the results.  I pray that God will raise us just and moral leadership for this hurting people.  A significant fraction of the Palestinians in Israel are Christians.
 
Dennis Prager has some scathing words about this decision.  Though orthodox Jew and not Christian, he publicly distances himself from the PC USA. 
 
What is your response, Christian?  When it is ok to disagree with other believers, and how?  Talk about this with your children.
