The Presbyterian Church (USA)'s General Assembly approved a resolution Tuesday to boycott/divest from companies whose products are used by Israel to occupy the West Bank. Those companies include Caterpillar, Motorola, and HP.
But wait... there's more. The majority of human rights abuses, not limited to torture, unlawful imprisonment and arrest... are conducted by the Palestinian Authority and Hamas, not Israel. So while the terrorists wage war on the people, Israel is being divested? The PA is trying to make sure nobody knows of its human rights abuses, and companies like Caterpillar suffer... or do they?
Last time I checked, Caterpillar's stock was up 3 quarters of a percent.
Now the Lord said to Abram, "Go out from your country, your relatives, and your father's household to the land that I will show you. Then I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will make your name great, in order that you might be a prime example of divine blessing. I will bless those who bless you, but the one who treats you lightly I must curse, and all the families of the earth will pronounce blessings on one another using your name."
- Gen 12:1-3
