Lutheran Peacemakers Use Passive Voice to Give Hamas a Pass, Demonize Israel
Lutheran leaders and peacemakers, including Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton have a tough time mentioning Hamas's misdeeds in their public statements about the suffering in Gaza.
The summer of 2009 proved to be a season of discontent for anti-Israel activists in North America. 
The Churchwide Assembly of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) passed a balanced resolution about the Arab-Israeli conflict that calls on Lutherans to learn about the perspectives of both Israelis and Palestinians.
ELCA Bishop Margaret Payne refuses to correct the record.
