The New England Conference of the United Methodist Church has voted to divest from companies that "support the occupation" in a resolution that mirrors the Presbyterian Church for its one-sidedness and empty hat-tip to Palestinian terror. The resolution recycles the canard of blaming Israel for the decline of the Christian population in the territories -- in fact, Christian populations are down across the Middle East, but have quadrupled in Israel proper since 1949. (It's not the Israelis they're running from.)
