A one-sided, anti-Israel
presentation by representatives of the Presbyterian Church of Canada occurred at
St. Andrews Church in Toronto on Thursday December 15, 2011. It was the report
of a few Presbyterian representatives who responded to the anti-Semitic KAIROS
Palestine document (http://www.oikoumene.org/gr/resources/documents/other-ecumenical-bodies/kairos-palestine-document.html)
that includes terminology such as “The West sought to make amends for what Jews had endured in the
countries of Europe, but it made amends on our account and in our land. They
tried to correct an injustice and the result was a new injustice.”
The KAIROS Palestine document
seeks to delegitimize any biblical attachment between Jews and the land of
Israel and explicitly calls for “resistance” against Israel while ignoring the
causes of the middle east conflict, Israel’s need for security of the many and
ongoing acts of terror by Palestinians and Arabs against Israelis.
The document is a disgrace,
which wrong-headedly attempts to lend the ideology of Christianity to support
for Palestinian renunciation of the peace process. One speaker, Rick
Horst, the Minster of the Barrie, Ontario`s St. Andrews`s Church, in a common
anti-Semitic canard, attributed ``injustices`` perpetrated against the
Palestinians to ``Zionist and Jewish Lobbies in the west`. http://youtu.be/SOpvsddWLmg?t=8m1s
The Presbyterian Church of
Canada’s allowing itself to be a vehicle of anti-Semitism and the enabling of
terrorism is something to be condemned in the strongest
terms.
