Divestment divides Jews, Protestants

Tuesday's RNS report is led with an article by Nancy Glass that looks at how relations between mainline Protestants and Jewish Americans have suffered from mainline efforts to divest from companies in Israel: "After the Presbyterian Church (USA) voted last summer to consider divesting from some companies in Israel, several other mainline churches and international church bodies followed suit with divestment resolutions of their own. Jewish groups have scrambled to react to the movement, which they say has been coordinated by a Palestinian Christian group they accuse of anti-Semitism."
