Presbyterian 'Joining Hands for Justice in Israel & Palestine' & Veterans Today join hands!

The Presbyterian group ‘Joining Hands for Justice in Israel & Palestine’ of the Greater Atlanta Presbytery cosponsored with Veterans Today, anti-Semite Gilad Atzmon in a meeting at the Villa International on March 10th.[*] Veterans today is the vile organization which I have lately written so much about. They believe that Israel is responsible for the 9-11 attack on the world trade center. They also believe that Israel and American Jews are in control of the United States government and media. Recently I quoted from their Chairman of the Board and Senior Managing Editor, Gordon Duff. He wrote:

”Federal Reserve” means “Rothschild.” “Rothschild” means poverty, hunger, ignorance and, most of all, war. This is all you really need to know. Everything else, the Pentagon, Wall Street, the corporate news, congress, the Supreme Court, the arms industry bandits are nothing but their [the Jews] henchmen, cowards and thieves that sold their souls for cash, the perception of power and vice.

Gilad Atzmon, although Jewish, is the ultimate anti-Semite—he is referred to by many as a self-hating Jew. He is now touring the United States promoting his book, The Wandering Who. He is evidently being promoted by Veterans Today a group he also writes for. Atzmon contends that there are few true ethnic Jews and he views most Jewish political leaders as immoral, writing, “Robbery and hatred is imbued in Jewish modern political ideology on both the left and the right.”[1]

A source at the Villa International, where the meeting sponsored by VT and JH met, stated that they were sorry that Atzmon had spoken there; that he used foul language and spoke against Israel causing some of the older people listening great distress. A great deal of accountability needs to be laid at the feet of those in the Atlanta Presbytery who are connected in some ways with the Israel/Palestine Mission Network of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The relationship page of the IPMN gives an e-mail address for Sarah Humphrey of Atlanta Presbytery who is a part of JH, and on the Joining Hands for Justice in Israel & Palestine page the editor writes:

Several years ago the Joining Hands for Justice Partners in Palestine in consultation with PHP decided not to continue as a JH network. The organizations that made up the network each carry on their efforts for a free Palestinian state, and from time to time collaborate with one another.

The JH team from the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta continues their amazing journey, visiting and working with their respective Palestinian partners. JH Atlanta is an active force within the Presbyterian Israel Palestine Mission Network

There is a so much that could be stated here. But perhaps a thought will do. In Nazi Germany the state ideology led the German Christians. It is a fearful thought that in the United States it is possible that the secret inner meetings of some PCUSA organizations might influence our culture toward one of the greatest evils of the last century-extreme anti-Semitism.
