Another one-side statement from Australia's National Council of Churches
July 22, 2010

The National Council of Churches in Australia, which has rarely shied away from being unfairly critical of Israel, has released another one-sided statement on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, calling for a boycott of all Israeli goods produced in the West Bank. Although the statement contains one ambiguous clause on the need to end terrorism, it does not call on Hamas to renounce violence, recognise Israel and agree to negotiations. It doesn't call on Palestinian terrorist groups, including Hamas, to cease firing rockets into Israeli towns and villages. Perhaps most important of all from a Christian perspective, it makes no mention of or calls to end the gross discrimination Palestinian Christians are facing under Hamas rule in Gaza. What is sadly ironic about the statement, is that it was issued "in solidarity with Palestinian Christians."

To read the NCCA statement, click here. ACSI encourages all its supporters to ring Debra Porter, the NCCA Communications Officer, on (02) 9299 2215 to express their outrage, and also write to NCCA's General Secretary Tara Curlewis at tcurlewis@ncca.org.au to do the same.

The following article was published yesterday, on the same day as NCCA's boycott call. Although we at ACSI do not agree with everything the author has written, her skewering of the 'Kairos Document' and its calls to boycott Israel is well worth reading.
