1. The article has links to the churches concerned
so I can't see why it's anything other than credible.

Note that both the Presbyterian Church and Episcopal Church talk about companies that contribute to, or benefit from, the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. It's not a blanket boycott of Israel.

3. I hope it IS true. No way would the Lord want us favoring Israelis
over Palestinians or vice versa when it comes to basic human needs.
