Dear Allyson, you are absolutely correct! And. you are so kind to write and share your thoughts with me. I think we finally have a solid coalition to oppose the denomination actions, because of the recent visits with Hezbullah leaders the resolve is even greater! Thank you again for writing.

I just read about your disapproval to the divestment from the Church in Israel. As an American, who has a son living in Israel, and as a supporter of the only democracy in the Middle East, I applaud your brave and vocal decision to oppose what the leadership in the Presbyterian church has decided.
I am especially upset that one of the leaders has chosen to meet with a leading member of Hezbollah, a supporter, perpetrator of terrorism not only against Jewish Israeli's, but a man who has his hands in the murder of Americans as well. I know he wanted to meet with leaders of the Israeli community after his meeting with a murderer, but was refused by the Israeli Government authorities after he decided to meet with this perpetrator of suicide murder in the West Bank. I think, this is even more morally reprehensible than the divestment. I am saddened that at a time when we Jews and Christians are fighting for the freedoms of religious tolerance granted to us by democracy, should be split apart by the radicals of Islam that not only put our freedoms and lives in danger, but those of Muslims who do not adhere to violence as a means to an end. Divesting from Israel is no different from giving in to kidnappers in Iraq who do heinous deeds for political and financial gain. This divestment only gives more strength to the enemy, who, if afforded the opportunity, murder the Jews first, then the Christians. We need to join hands, and make a moral, sacred vow to stand united against terror.
I applaud your brave stand and truly think, you are a man of G-d.
