What If The Glass Really Is Half Empty?
Yesterday we expressed some hope regarding the possibility that liberal Protestant groups might lose some of their enthusiasm for demonizing Israel. We expressed that hope because we have poor pattern recognition:
The Episcopal Church would like just as much as their Presbyterian brothers to see the Jews removed from their biblically-mandated homeland, but has been advised against the course of divestment chosen by the latter. Earlier this month, the church's Social Responsibility in Investments committee issued a report to the Executive Council recommending "corporate engagement" in an effort to effect "positive changes in Israeli government policy" leading to the birth of another Arab Muslim state centered on Judea and Samaria, the God-given heartland of the Jewish people.
We apologize for believing or implying that the fervor for anti-Israeli action was in any way dampening in progressive circles. We promise not to do it again.
