The United Church of Canada Proudly Presents ...

The United Church of Canada presents a gift to Canada; yet another righteous attempt to shame and defame and profane the relationship of cultural decency between it and the State of Israel. Replacing it with the disgrace of a church allowing itself to be overrun by the hugely 'sensitized' portion of its membership that insists on portraying Israel as an apartheid regime. A designation so hugely popular with anti-Semites who passionately resist the label they so honestly earn.

Slurs against Canadian Members of Parliament for purportedly having ownership of dual citizenship, and that they "are affiliated with the State of Israel", rule the day, as well as the agenda of the conference taking place in Kelowna. Another proposal referring to "questionable positions of Canadian Members of Parliament" viz-a-viz Israel, casting aspersions on Canadian politicians who may have a favourable view of another democratic country presents as another self-incriminating device.

But prejudicing public opinion further by insisting that Israel has earned the full condemnation of the United Church of Canada for what is termed their oppressive 'occupation' of a land mass whose residents insist on using as a bloody, violent launching pad for attacks against a country and its people is the icing on the cake. Requiring full diplomatic, social, institutional, business isolation of Israel in response to her iniquitous behaviour.

The proposal that insists that "Israeli institutions, including universities, are involved in an ongoing way in the development and maintenance of this exclusionary regime directed at Palestinians", which requires the United Church of Canada to exact its measure of social justice by enacting a full boycott of Israel, reveals the depths of hatred and vengeance that being Jewish exacts still yet in this modern world.

To claim otherwise, as the Independent Jewish Voices, who have given their full support to the United Church members who insist on threatening, punishing and isolating Israel, is a farce. And speaks more than adequately to their unabashed self-revulsion as Jews in a non-Jewish world, which has impressed upon them their uniqueness, one that they heartily reject.

That the United Church has determined that the better part of valour in this particular instance is to retreat, and set aside the proposals for the interim, speaks to nothing but their own insecurity, the dualism of their wish to ingratiate themselves with both 'sides' of the issue.

They can claim no credit for friendly relations and cultural sensitivities, and political knowledge and historical background in their role in this craven affair.
