Mainline American Christian “Peacemakers” against Israel

Mainline American Christian “Peacemakers” against Israel

November 5, 2009 | Dexter Van Zile
In 2004 and 2005, a group of five liberal Protestant (or "mainline") churches in the United States broadcasted a narrative that portrayed Israel as almost solely responsible for the violence of the Second Intifada. This campaign was evident in "peacemaking" resolutions approved by the legislative bodies of these churches and in the books produced by the publishing houses associated with them.
