In 2004, the Presbyterian Church in the US (PCUSA) voted to begin phased divestment from the state of Israel. While people of good conscience maintain a wide range of views on the Middle East, this decision has caused untold harm to hope for peace in the Middle East, to relations between faiths and to the reputation of the church itself. This site provides resources to those seeking to understand why divestment is bad for peace and bad for the Presbyterian Church. The essays below, and additional writing found here can serve as a starting point for understanding the scope of this issue...

"Who We're Not"

This site is a collaboration between two writers, one Christian, one Jewish, who met on the Internet and discovered a common interest in educating people of good will regarding the contentious issue of divestment from the state of Israel. Neither of us represents any official organization, nor are we advocates of any official doctrine, religious or political movement, or position on the Middle East peace process. Rather, we hope to use the Internet to share our writing, research and experience to help an important institution, the Presbyterian Church, avoid the trap being set for them by the advocates of divestment.
