(Worthy News) - Leaders of several major US Christian denominations — including Protestants, Presbyterians, Baptists, Lutherans and Methodists — have asked members of Congress to reconsider US aid to Israel in light of “widespread Israeli human rights violations.”

The Church leaders missive asks for “an immediate investigation into possible violations by Israel of the US Foreign Assistance Act and the US Arms Export Control Act, which respectively prohibit assistance to any country which engages in a consistent pattern of human rights violations and limit the use of US weapons to ‘internal security’ or ‘legitimate self-defense.'” [ Read More -- Source ]

Genesis 12

I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

Do you bless someone by turning a blind eye to their transgressions?  Eli did this to his children, did it bless them?

This was submitted as a news tip -- but the article was actually written in 2012.  I didnt' pay close attention to the date!  Forgive me!  I'm locking this thread since it's not a current news story.
