Wright criticized America, alot of white americans interpreted that as an attack on themselves as individuals!<BR/>So now if you have issues with Isreali government policies and zionism you are anti - jewish.

This is always a risk in well meaning, largely volunteer organizations.<BR/><BR/>The mainline protestant denominations underestimate the degree that this political involvement helps drive members away. It is not necessarily because of the positions themselves, but the misrepresentations and sometimes outright deceit used by the leadership. One still expects better from religious leaders.<BR/><BR/>For a great example of how well meaning intelligent people get bamboozled read this interview with Olivia De Haviland in the WSJ.<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://online.wsj.com/article/SB115757993223555601.html?mod=todays_us_personal_journalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10515331.post-54531392822187674672008-05-05T23:12:00.000-04:002008-05-05T23:12:00.000-04:00Amen indeed!
