Jeff Halper (left) recently suggested that Israelis are contemplating a “final solution” in regards to the Palestinians at a recent Sabeel conference but other Jewish activists are questioning the organization’s rhetoric and agenda.
A United Methodist Church children’s book “From Palestine to Seattle: Becoming Neighbors and Friends,” and the accompanying Sunday school teacher’s manual, invites children into an alternate universe in which Israeli concessions and withdrawals bring about an end to Palestinian violence. Sadly, no such universe exists. And in its upside down version of reality, the book portrays Israeli security checkpoints as the cause, not the result, of Palestinian violence. 
The letter points out that "If Rev. Dr. Ateek's [left] approach to peacemaking is 'theologically correct,' as he asserts, then we must be living in the Middle Ages." 
Christian anti-Israel activists and commentators have proven particularly adept at using Jewish voices to delegitimize Israel. 
The Mennonite Central Committee assails Israel's legitimacy through the writings of its activists and through MCC-produced films about the Arab-Israeli conflict. The United Methodist Church has published a shamefully biased and inaccurate book about the Arab-Israeli conflict that portrays the Jewish people as too paranoid and psychologically damaged by the Holocaust to be trusted with self-determination. 
For about two decades, Sabeel, founded by Rev. Dr. Naim Ateek (left), has portrayed Jewish sovereignty, and not efforts to undermine it, as the cause of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The letters address falsehoods and distortions in Jonathan Tasini's one-sided, anti-Israel October 2007 Forum column. In a note appended to the letters, Playboy noted that CAMERA readers critiqued Tasini's article with a "deluge" of complaints. 
Two commissioners to the Presbyterian Church’s 2006 General Assembly condemned Palestinian violence against Israel and the Christian population in the Gaza Strip in a statement issued in mid-January 2008. Once again, Christian leaders in the Middle East have issued a statement that has great propaganda value for Israel’s enemies, but little value as a peacemaking document.
