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.

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.

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.
