Some people here react without truly READING the article.
For instance, "A Presbyterian committee accused five companies Friday of contributing to "ongoing violence that plagues Israel and Palestine" and pledged to use the church's multimillion-dollar stock holdings in the businesses to pressure them to stop."
Okay, it clearly states that the reason the church is able to put any pressure at all on these companies is because these are five companies in which the church has major investments.
Get it, folks? This effort deserves to be lauded, not targeted for some knee-jerk condemnation.
