JTA: Church panelist compares Israelis to Nazis
Salam al-Maryati, executive director of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee, said Thursday that Israel was crowding Palestinians into conditions “like the Warsaw Ghetto,” said Ethan Felson, assistant executive director of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, who was in attendance.
The forum took place a day in advance of the Presbyterian Church USA’s 217th General Assembly in Birmingham, Ala., where the group is slated to vote on its 2004 resolution to begin a “phased, selective divestment” from companies that do business with Israel.
Mark Pelavin, associate director of Reform Judaism’s Religious Action Committee, who also served on the panel, said the Presbyterian Church has not taken into account the effects of Hamas taking over the Palestinian Authority government.
An opening speaker from Human Rights Watch called Israel’s occupation and settlement activity illegal and labeled terrorism a crime against humanity.

Exhibit #3,436,791 as to why I think that the West is hopeless........
I was heartened to see christians take a firm stance against the jewish nazi occupation and mistreatment of palastinians, too many chrisitians side with the jews.
Anti-semitism is alive and well. Charming.
Mr Al-Qada, I mean Al-Stone,
I note your moronic comment and point out to you on December 7, that this is the 65th anniversay of the Imperial Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.
Note too that in a few days, December 11, that will be the 65th anniversay of your nazi Germany declaration of War on the US.
Furth note that Sepetember 11 was your Islamofascist sneak attack on the US.
Just as your nazi Germany surrendered unconditionally to the US, UK and Soviet Union, your nazi Islamofascists will surrender unconditionally to the US and Israel.
Dream of that little Nakbah.
I'm sick and tired of Nazi Israeli apologists attacking the messengers insead of dealing with the message. Israels are a bunch of hate filled racist nazis thugs occupying land and treating palastinians worst than dogs. If the jews feel unfortable being labell nazis thugs, then they should take a long hard look at themselves and stop blaming everyone else.
