Canadian United Church’s resolution on Israel/Palestinian situation

The United Church is critical of Israel and the treatment/ plight of Palestinians. Spokesperson Sid Shniad of Independent Jewish Voices has some interesting points of view. Rabbi Reuben Poupko defends Israel’s position. You be the judge.

I believe the United Church is showing courage and fairness to pass such a resolution. More organizations in the West need to speak out to end the atrocities against Palestinians.

  1. Hi, LeDaro. I agree the United Church is showing fairness. But I also believe it's a sad state of affairs when it's considered courageous to stand up for what's right.

    Anyway, good to "see" you again, old chum.

  2. Christian, good to "see" you again too and thank you for your comment.

    "But I also believe it's a sad state of affairs when it's considered courageous to stand up for what's right."

    I agree. But look at the amount of beating United Church is taking - they have been called all kinds of names including being anti-Semitic. Indeed sad.
