AND NOW THE LUTHERANS ARE GOING AFTER ISRAEL

U.S. Lutherans Condemn Israeli Barrier - Rachel Zoll
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America last week denounced the security barrier Israel is building along the West Bank. The church's statement doesn't mention divestment, but urges the denomination to move toward "stewarding financial resources - both U.S. tax dollars and private funds - in ways that support the quest for a just peace in the Holy Land.''

The magazine of the Evangelical Lutheran Church is spreading extreme misinformation among its members about Israel's security fence. CAMERA requested correction of 12 factual errors that appeared in a distorted and inflammatory article entitled "The Wall" published in the May 2005 edition of The Lutheran. There was not one reference to Palestinian terrorism originating from terrorist strongholds in West Bank cities, the causal factor in Israel's erecting a protective barrier. (CAMERA)
