Anti-Semitism & the Presbyterians | National Catholic Reporter

Anti-Semitism & the Presbyterians | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: The Knox comment is interesting since the Church of the Nativity in Bethlhem in Galellie (down the road from Nazareth), which many believe to be the real site of the nativity, is also in under a highway.  I have no doubt that anti-semites are contributing the the divestment moves on Israel - but I dont' count the Presbyterians among them.  As I have written before, Israel has few options on dealing with the Palestinians - a two-state solution where the Palestinian state may include the Arab parts of the north of Israel and that state has nothing to do with the IDF (when said that way, many Zionists blanch), full integration of Arabs and Palestinians into the Jewish state - so full that it is no longer a Jewish state (which would be what Torah requires), recognize that Palestinian Arabs were likely Samaritan Christians at one time and accept them as ethnic Jews - while letting the other Samaritan peoples who are Romany return as well (where to put all those people) and the one they seem to be leading to - continued bad treatment of people in the territories - including Christians and no recognition of their rights as full citizens - which sounds a lot like apartheid to me.  It would be easy to call opposing Israel anti-Semetic if they did not treat the Palestinians as captives who do dirty jobs by day and are locked behind the wall at night.  It is no wonder that they like Republican neo-cons so much - not only are they reflexively Zionist but some long for the days of segregation - and are not troubled by what goes on with the Palestinians.
