TUC Palestine response: Jerusalem Post 'utter arrogance'

In response to the TUC continued boycott of Occupied Territory goods, Bill King has noticed that the Jerusalem post website contains an article from which these are extracts:

"The increasing boycotts against Israel are led by the anti-Israel Left, supported by the global press.

"The word most often heard now concerning Israel is “isolation.”

"The now-infamous Gaza flotilla clash, which had more to do with an anti- Israel agenda than with humanitarian aid for the beleaguered residents of Gaza, has re-charged the anti-Israel Left and enabled it to issue increased calls for Israel to be sanctioned and/or boycotted. The Left is sadly supported by much of the global press. As a consequence, labor unions in some parts of the world are refusing to off-load ships with Israeli products, and traditional churches such as Presbyterians, Anglicans and Lutherans are intensifying their calls for disinvestment from Israel.

"However, we are not moved by public opinion, but by the Word of the living God. We are thus convinced that Israel’s modern-day restoration is not a political coincidence but rather solid evidence of God’s faithfulness to His promise to Abraham some 4,000 years ago. We will stand firm in our support of Israel and her right to exist in the land that God forever gave her (Genesis 17:7-8). This includes proclaiming that Jerusalem is and should remain the undivided eternal capital of the Jewish people. Israel’s claims in this regard are beyond dispute."
