John Hinderaker on the Recent Lutheran Anti-Israel Resolution

Powerline's John Hinderaker on the recent Lutheran resolution condemning the Israeli security fence. How many liberal Protestant denominations have gotten into the Israel-bashing act now? The Lutherans are certainly living up to the great tradition established by their founder, the author of the odious "Von den Juden und ihre Lugen." As Hinderaker notes,

Dissociation from Middle Eastern reality exists, not among the laity of the ELCA and other traditional Protestant churches, but among the leaders and professional staffers of these denominations. It is hard to escape the conclusion that those leaders are just one more layer of the liberal elite; for them, support for the Palestinian cause is of a piece with other liberal political positions promoted by their church hierarchies--environmentalism, high taxes, and so on.
