What is with the churches which show support for Palestinians? Do these people not read their Bibles? God makes it quite clear that He will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel.
Jesus spoke of false prophets in the last days. I think we've found some.

Presbyterian Church Turns Against Israel, Sides With Palestinian Terrorists
"Welcome to Laodicea
Most of America’s presidents since James Madison were members of the Presbyterian Church.
It has the reputation of being the wealthiest and most mainstream among US churches. Presbyterians gave to the United States dozens of presidents, Supreme Court justices, secretaries of state (Condoleezza Rice is daughter of a Presbyterian priest,) cabinet officials and members of Congress.
Even pastor Billy Graham, known as 'the ear of US presidents,' has been a dedicated Presbyterian.
However, in recent years, the US church appeared in the headlines for a virulent anti-Israel campaign in which money, theology and politics are mixed together.
Pro-Palestinian activists, allied with anti-Jewish Protestant zealots, won a victory in 2004 when the church divested its $8 billion portfolio from companies doing business with Israel.
A few days ago the Presbyterians and three other US Protestant denominations endorsed the Palestinian UN bid for statehood.
'In the Middle Ages, the “mystery plays” that portrayed the Jews as the executioners of Jesus helped fuel burnings at stake and pogroms, until the Holocaust drove dark theology underground. The Presbyterian Church is now staging a XXI century mystery play, in which Israel is the Jew of the world.'
Meanwhile, the church just hold a conference in Louisville titled 'Bible, Land and our Theological Challenge'. It embraced the 'Kairos Document,' which says that Israeli security policies are 'a sin against God', likens the security fence to 'apartheid', rejects the Jewish State, supports terrorism when it talks about the 'thousands of prisoners who languish in Israeli jails', and proclaims that 'resistance to the evil of occupation is a Christian’s right and duty.'
At the Louisville’s symposium, Rev. Eugene March, professor emeritus of Old Testament at Presbyterian Seminary, said the Jewish right to the holy land is 'invalid,' while Rev. Gary Burge, professor of New Testament at Wheaton College, said that 'Jesus subverted the land politics of Judaism' and criticized 'the territorial worldview of Judaism.' It is hard to imagine uglier slander.
The Presbyterian Committee on Mission Responsibility Through Investment just urged the General Assembly to fully embrace the so-called BDS movement and to divest from Caterpillar, Inc., Hewlett-Packard, and Motorola (a decision is expected in few months.) The Presbyterians own hundreds of thousands of shares of stock in these companies through their pension fund for retired workers and through foundations. The church accused these companies of selling helicopters, cellphones, night vision equipment and other items Israel uses to enforce its 'occupation.' source – YNET"

The presbyterian church needs to become moot in the u.s. it is a shameful thing that so many sit in the pews on sunday morning and can't even quote one passage of scripture. These are the "christians" who attend because of social status, because it is the "right thing to do". They blindly hand over their money, not having a clue that they are funding growing anti-semitism. They are funding the next holocaust. I'm pretty sure that God's heart bleeds every time His people are slaughtered because of ignorance like this.
