The Presbyterian anti Israel mess

NY Post Editorial:
How ironic that, as the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church USA voted to divest from Israel, it also voted to recognize same-sex marriage.

It’s ironic for two reasons. First, because Israel is the only gay-friendly country in the Middle East. For example, this month’s 16th annual Gay Pride Parade in Tel Aviv drew over 100,000 participants.

Try doing that in Saudia Arabia, Yemen or Iran.

Second, because Israel is also the only place in the Middle East where Christian minorities can practice their faith freely.

The hypocrisy of the vote, which declared that the Presbyterian church “cannot profit from the destruction of homes and lives,” is underscored by the group’s silence on the slaughter in Syria and Iraq, not to mention the persecution of its fellow Christians elsewhere in the region — including by the Palestinian Authority.
...
The vote makes no sense to me.They seem to be upset with the Israelis for not committing national suicide by agreeing to the terms favored by the Palestinians.
