Loading ...Israel Boycott Controversy
PBS News
Correspondent Deborah Potter reports on the BDS (boycotts, divestment and, sanctions) movement, intended to pressure Israel to withdraw from the occupied territories, and the support it is receiving from some US churches. Last year, the United Church of Christ became the largest Protestant denomination to divest its pension funds from companies doing business in Israeli-occupied territories. Other denominations are still wrestling with the issue, and there are also religious leaders opposing the movement who are calling instead for more dialogue and engagement.
