The Methodist Church asks for your views about BDS

[Maurice Ostroff]

The Methodist Church of Great Britain with its 6,000 churches has around 300,000 members. Although the Church already supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS), it has now launched a public consultation with a questionnaire about the subject. The results will be debated next year at the annual Methodist Conference which has engaged in debate on Israel and Palestine frequently over the past 15 years. Background notes and the questionnaire are available at  http://www.methodist.org.uk/bdsbriefing

Anti-Israel organizations have been quick to urge their followers  to strongly support BDS in their responses.
