Church of Scotland Websi...And on the same subject…<br /><br />Church of Scotland Website International Issues page<br /><br />Section on Syrian with 2 items from late 2012<br />Section on Gaza with 3 items from 2012<br />Section on Afganistan with 4 items all from 2011<br />Section on Pakistan with one item from 2010<br />Section on Iran with one item from 2008<br />Section on Armenian & Turkey with paragraph about 2007 & item from 2008<br />Section on Burma with paragraph re 2004<br />Section on Darfur with paragraph re 2005<br />Section on Sri Lanka with paragraph re 2009 & 2 items from 2009 <br />Section on Zimbabwe with paragraph on 2003 & link to Christina Aid website<br />And sandwiched in the middle a section on the Middle East with 8 item all about Israel's activities in the Palestinians territories<br /><br />So why the Middle East when other sections refer to countries usually termed as Middle Eastern? Syria, Gaza & Iran are most definitely. Is this a subtle denial of Israel pointing to Supersessionism/Replacement theology? Christian Aid do something similar they have they reserve the knife edge technology of their website for a Middle East timeline but it is solely about the Arab Israel conflict & any country mentioned apart from Israel is in relation the plight of the Palestinians. The last 3 years have demonstrated more clearly than ever that the Arab Israel conflict is only a small factor in the regions troubled history but Christian Aid have no intention of removing any of their highly bias material or pointing a finger at anyone other than Israel. <br /><br />But back to the Church of Scotland's motivation. Their "Invest in Peace" Page is entirely about Israel – Palestinian conflict with no expression what so ever of sympathy for the multitude of Israeli victims of barbaric terror. The extent of the bias against Israel is more than Supersessionism it is a reversal to the theological argument of Augusta that the Jews by their lowly state in society and their affliction bear witness of rejection of Jesus and its consequences. By word & deed the Church of Scotland like other Western Liberal Churches are taking a road of reversal to a Medieval period of unpleasantness and everything that ensued.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12950947213829980734noreply@blogger.com
