The invective is telling. The Presbyterian Church USA's razor thin vote
to divest from three American companies that aid the Israeli occupation
is, opponents of the move tell us, irrelevant, because Presbyterians are
irrelevant. The language used to make this point is not particularly
ecumenical: here Rabbi Shmuley Boteach inveighs against the PC-USA's
vote by referring to the "rotting corpse of the Presbyterian church."
One suspects that if a prominent Presbyterian cleric used comparable
language about a branch of Judaism, it would attract some negative
attention.
