Divest from the World Council of Churches

First it was the Presbyterian Church, now the World Council of Churches (described in some news reports as the primary umbrella organization for non-Catholic denominations) iis urging its members to divest from companies doing business with Israel.

... between 2000 and 2003 the WCC issued 36 human-rights complaints against Israel and two about Sudan, where close to two million black Africans, many of them Christian, were killed and tens of thousands enslaved in a self-declared jihad waged by the Islamist regime in Khartoum.

How should we react to this? No doubt the WCC feels that by supporting the Palestinians as underdogs, it's guaranteed to be on the right side of the dispute. This ignores the injunction in Exodus regarding the impartiality of justice: "neither shalt thou favour a poor man in his cause", and thus suggests that the WCC is no longer interested in the Old Testament. Internet Hanganah suggests that this being the case, we Jews might like to take it back ;-)
