The Israel-Palestine Mission Network of the Presbyterian Church (USA) injects anti-Jewish animus into peacemaking efforts by obliquely linking acts of violence to Jewish groups in the U.S.
J Street has condemned a report issued by the PC(USA)'s Middle East Study Committee for seeking to withhold military aid to Israel and for invoking their name without consultation.
