Episcopalians condemn Israeli apartheid. The false 'antisemitism' shield is crumbling

Rejection of ‘Israel’s apartheid’ grows as D.C. Episcopalians affirm their opposition, 3 to 1

Washington DC Episcopalians' condemnation of Israeli "apartheid" confirms an awakening to Israel’s long-festering human rights problem within the liberal U.S. “elite,” and growing immunity to smears leveled by Israel's advocates.

Episcopalians of the nation’s Capital voted big against Israel’s treatment of Palestinians on January 29, adopting resolutions to “oppose Israel’s apartheid” (by 73%), to “confront Christian Zionism” (by 76%), and to “defend the right to boycott” (by 80%). The right to boycott is under assault from anti-BDS laws enacted in dozens of states and championed in Congress.

The latest church action followed similar emphatic statements by Episcopalians in Chicago, Rochester, Vermont, and Olympia, all aimed at the Christian denomination’s General Convention in Baltimore in June-July, which will be asked to back Palestinian rights with the same force as it did the cause of Black South Africans in the 1970s and 80s. (Full disclosure: I helped urge the Washington diocese to act.)

Amnesty International has condemned Israel as an apartheid state. So has Human Rights Watch, B'Tselem and the United Nations Committee on Human Rights. These are brave actions as Israel's reputation for smear-mongering and character assassination is well known. We are approaching the point wherein US politicians must face up to the fact that they are supporting a fascist and apartheid state and the struggle between Israel Firsters and Americans in Washington looks set to be bloody. Don't board neo-Zionism's death-train.

The Episcopal Church seems to side with victims:

"As Russia ramps up the latest phase of its attack on Ukraine nearly two months into the unprovoked war, Episcopal congregations are showing their support for Ukraine in a variety of ways, from making Ukrainian-style Easter eggs known as pysanky to raising money for Episcopal Relief & Development and other agencies responding to the crisis."

Easy choice for fascists and others on the AIPAC payroll.
