Top Presbyterian executive calls on US Jews to end ‘enslavement’ of Palestinians

The chief executive of the Presbyterian Church  has urged American Jews to help end Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory and described Israeli policies toward Palestinians as “enslavement.”  

In his reflection on Martin Luther King Jr. Day (Jan. 17), Nelson said “continued occupation in Palestine/Israel is 21st-century slavery and should be abolished immediately.”

He then added: “I would also hope that the Jewish community in the United States would influence the call to join the U.S. government in ending the immoral enslavement.”

It is not the first time that the PCUSA, a historic mainline Protestant denomination with 1.2 million members, has targeted Israeli policies in the occupied territories.

The latest reflection goes beyond Israel criticism. It appears to confirm that Zionists secretly control the moves of politicians and manipulate world events to their advantage.
