In Commentary, Jonathan Tobin writes about the same group of mainline Protestant clergy and says the letter should call into question efforts in the Jewish community to dialogue with these anti-Israel elements.
That these church groups couch their letter in language that seeks to portray their efforts as those of “peacemakers” is all the more offensive. Far from promoting peace, these anti-Zionist clerics are actually fomenting violence by undermining Israeli defensive measures and thereby encouraging Palestinians to think they can succeed in isolating Israel.
What do you think?

Clerics are supposed to teach and love and forgiveness for all mankind. They are nothing only warmongers who stimulate others by their hatred. Shame on them and their followers.

I could not post a fair comment about any of the churches mentioned in the original article, nor the National Council. They have all found a way to violate the word of God and to accept with open arms, things that he calls, in the Holy Bible, an abomination. This is well known here in the U.S., to anybody that wants to know. I do not want to be anywhere near any of them when he comes back, because they have justified what they are doing and according to what I see in the Bible, any one of these acts that they are now accepting, is completely wrong. These are my thoughts.

I am appalled but not surprised at this info. How can anyone who claims to be a “CHRISTian” go against Israel? Don’t they know “CHRISTian” means “CHRIST – Like”? Jesus is a Jew and always will be! If they are such good Christians, then they had better read the scripture that says, “I will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel.” So be it.
1:15 pm
I love your answer. There are a few Christians like probably yourself, who know? It was the Council of Niceae which finally broke all ties, as the Epicurean Roman Christians didn’t invite Jews.
12:13 pm
Now even more shame on the main line churches who have for so long been wrong in their theology.
12:11 pm
I would like to see a list of these “mainline” churches.
8:50 pm
I don’t follow a religion, I’m a Born Again Believer, who has a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
1:30 pm
I am so thankful that you follow a Dybbuk! May you have a good life with him! Read both of Jesus’s Genealogy Lines Claimed, and you find Jeconiah (Coniah) in them. Read Jeremiah 22:28. Sorry!
12:08 pm
These churches have ceased being Christian
and have become politically in line with
our so-called White House leader(Muslim militant
in-chief). Shame on them and hope they enjoythe fate God promises those who curse IsraEL.
10:38 am
Churchs who speak out against Israel or Jews show the begining of the end times. These things are predictions of what will happen before the second coming of Christ! Then these false Christians will be judged as non-believers because they have joined the ranks of those of satan.
9:21 am
I can tell you that many issues a decade ago with a certain mainline church had me upset and in tears because I could see the direction they were moving in and I disagreed with it back then. They really need to read the Bible a little bit more and find out what HOLY LORD has to say about Isreal and end time events. They need a missionary to preach the gospel to them and be revived again.
8:15 am
Protestant churches are NOT TRUE CHRISTIAN churches. Since their beginnings, Satan has been subtly and craftily infiltrating its leadership with his own people. The Satan virus is now everywhere.
7:51 am
Pamela….Where is your christian love. Jesus said ‘love one another’ ‘love your enemies’. Mitt Romney is Christian and has stated that Jerusalem belongs to the Jews and his America will support them
7:23 am
God asks us too pray for His people,and for the peace Jerusalem. If we say we are Christens, and have the word of God in our hearts, then out of love, obedience, and respect do just that!!!!
12:41 am
This kind of bigotry is as old as The Bible. These so-called Christian leaders are beneath contempt and will answer to God, and yes He is The God of Israel. God will not be mocked. God forgive them.
10:58 pm
Barukh attah Adonai eloheynu Melekh haolam meshubach umfoar adei ‘ad shemo haggadol.
8:58 pm
Well the blessing is being removed from these churches. Just look at the declining membership. Are they seeking the guidance of our Father the Lord God? I don”t think so.
6:22 pm
Most if not all , ” Mainline churches ” , belong to the World Council of Churches “, which is nothing more than a social- political group with the ” church “as a front. Looks like the goats are being seperated from the sheep. We are living in an age of great deception. Wolves in sheep’s clothing. Remember just because a mouse lives in a cookie jar, it doesn’t make him a cookie. It’s my opinion that true believers will love Israel and support her and pray for her.She is GOD’s ” treasured posession and the apple of His eye. Anyone person or nation or group going against Israel and the Jewish peole are actually going against the ALMIGHY and they bring a curse upon themselves. GOD Bless Israel. Whenever possible buy Israeli products.
5:29 pm
Israeli people are killed at work, home and around the world. these words are weapons aimed at Israel.
5:26 pm
There are many Christians that love and pray for the Jewish people and the State of Israel and believe and know that the Jewish people are God’s “chosen” and Israel is God’s land and that they alone have the deed to their land.
3:59 pm
The Christians doing this and going vs Israel are really disgraceful and give Christianity a bad name. God knows who they are though. God’s wrath will one day consume all those that continue to bully and badmouth Israel.
10:40 pm
Whatever goes on we MUST stand with Isreal and protect them, this is something that Obummer will NOT DO.
10:57 pm
I agree. I am embarrassed by these so-called “churches” that hate Israel.
7:33 am
The National Councilof Churches has always been liberal and few real christians in those churches – l had to leave united church of christ after being saved.
4:45 am
HaShem’s Sons are Israel, not a god-man Pagan Dionysian deity Bacchus, who changed water into wine at his own wedding at Cana. Get away from Replacement Theology and Live with HaShem your Creator!
4:38 am
Like the Days of Bilaam, and Korach, these ones will Choose with Full Support of Europe, to Cast Curses Upon Israel, by using it’s Enemies Against us! LET HASHEM SEE! These will be Cursed!
3:26 pm
Those pathological self described Christians are a disgrace to all humanity. For two thousand years they discriminated against, mistreated, robbbed , raped and killed Jews. now there are real Christians like Rev. Hagee who actually put hmane face on Christianity. Ther is probably little that can be done to those “Christian’s” who refuse to give up their old ways. They even side with Muslims who are dedicated to and are in fact killing Christians, because those Muslims kill Jews.
2:51 pm
God has called all TRUE Christians…brothers and sisters, to STAND with Israel, ‘Not Against Her’! They are His chosen people. America has become a perverted Nation in wicked darkness that needs to repent before God and seek Jesus’ forgiveness for the sins of this Nation. He is our Savior, ‘Not Man’! Man has done nothing but cause a HUGE Mess through our government. Obama and Romney should both step down and walk away…what embarrassments they both have become with their lying lips to our Country and us as Americans and our founding leaders. If you do not believe Jesus is the Son of God and have a heart for Christ Jesus, Obama and Romney you do not serve me or any other Christians in this Nation. You Do Not Speak For Me! You are the enemy of God and all that follow Him! Apparently you do not read your Bible Obama. While you’re in the Bible, both you and Romney read what it says about liars, murders, thieves and gays and all kinds of other wickedness. Which is the lesser of these 2wo evils? I will not vote for either one of you. You both have opened your mouths and inserted your feet, not trust worhty. You both are trying to out lie the other, that’s a red flag, not a bonus! It means you do not have the American people’s needs at heart. You both hope to confuse the people. What we all need to realize is neither one of you are worth voting for, so we will vote for someone else. A man that will demand a country to take a chip in their body is a dictator and the last I heard this country is not under a dictatorship Obama. You and your wife have gotten rich off the backs of the uninsured for years now. Neither one of you has bothered to help the American people with this, yet you fleece Americans to benefit yourselves? Greedy and self-serving! You and Romney are the same reflected image of each other. Wake up American we still have a chose in this nations election and it does not have to be with either one of them. I Stand side by side with Israel! I know Jesus is the Son of God and the only True Savior for this Nation and He will always be our ever present help in our time of need! America is fast becoming a dying nation and we are at the mercy of God, man will sell you out while smiling in your face and saying you are safe, while you are destroyed in your ignorance. Don’t ever trust liars! God is our only Hope!
8:56 pm
God is our only hope- Lets seek the mercy of God & under circumstances vote&pray for as much righteousness as we can. Romney so far stands with Israel, is pro-life, & protects the sancity of marriage.
2:20 am
As much as I Hate to admit it, I am a Jew born in Salt Lake City. Their Bible does not read like others. Their old version said the man of sin, Cain, developed black skin. I have never seen another
2:28 am
The Country of Ancient Ethiopia was part of Gan Eden. It means Opis=Cobras or Snakes. Meaning Ethio=Land. “Land of the Snakes!” The Tree of Knowledge, of the Pharaonic Dynasty Land! Gan Eden.
2:34 am
Man has escaped Pharaoh many times, by Gan Eden’s Sorcery first in Ethiopia=Egypt, all of the way to King Solomon and his wives! Today’s Council of Churches is nothing more, than the World’s Insert
2:26 pm
As former called christian, but Baruch HaShem- now Noahide Observant, this is unacceptable behavior with so-called Bible believers. Praying for their enlightened understanding of all Tanach teaching.
2:19 pm
I agree 100%!!!!!!! I cannot understand anyone being against Israel–the Jewish people, God’s Chosen People, give and give to the entire world, yet are never given credit!!
1:38 pm
My plans for a meaningful contribution to’my’ Methodist church just cancelled. I am mystified as to how any half-bright church elder could be so dense.
1:04 pm
I definitely think and know this is very wrong w hat these mainline church clerics are doing against Israel and their people. To me, this is a form of hypocritical barbarianism. So are these main-line protestant clerics really Christians in the eyes of God? These are God’s people when it comes to Jewish people and their real homeland is Israel, which was given to them from God as well. These main-line Protestant Clerics will be judged according to what they do and say against God’s people when it comes to Judgement day. So May God have mercy on your souls!
8:07 am
Israel and the Jewish people are God’s chosen. The so called churches that are against them are nothing but hippocrits and doomed for the gates of hell and that is what our Bible says about them
12:49 pm
Tired off all the pretenders myself. God blesss Israel.
12:29 pm
I donot agree with the mainline churches’ attack on Israel. Israel has gone through enough attacks already. Those mainline churches should agree with God’s Nation if they want to prosper.
