Methodist Liberation Organization ( A left wing Christian Organization): Are advocating the demographic eradication of Israel as a Jewish nation in place of an Arab and predominantly Muslim country.

[John K. Matyi] This was a shock to me, but this is the same group that has asked their followers to accept homosexual partners into their church as equals. They also support abortion as stated below and here:

The United Methodist Church and Abortion

At its 1972 General Conference the UMC called for the legalization of abortion. The UMC was a founding member of the Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights, which sought "to encourage and coordinate support for safeguarding the legal option of abortion." In one year the Methodist Board of Church and Society contributed more than $400,000 to the abortion rights coalition. The UMC came out in support of the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision which legalized abortion in the United States.

Methodist Liberation Organization
The United Methodist Church commemorates the nakba.

Having rejected anti-Israel divestment of its pension funds last year, the 7.9 million United Methodist Church is courting new controversy involving anti-Israel bias again this year. Starting February 3, the Methodist Building on Capitol Hill, from which the denomination conducts its political lobbying, will commemorate the nakba, as Palestinians refer to the "catastrophe" of Israel's creation.

The opening reception on Tuesday, February 3, will kick-off a three-week exhibition in the Methodist Building lobby called "Our Story: A Photo Exhibit Commemorating 60 Years of Dispossession." Friends of Sabeel Canada, an advocate of Palestinian Liberation Theology among left-leaning Christians, has produced the latest version of the traveling photo show. The reception is hosted by the Washington Interfaith Alliance for Middle East Peace, a small group of various religious adherents that advocates "divesting from or boycotting those companies" that "profit from the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem."

According to an announcement from the United Methodist General Board of Church and Society (GBCS), which owns and occupies the Methodist Building, the exhibit "marks the annual observance of the nakba, the 1948 mass deportation of Palestinians, massacres of civilians and the razing to the ground of hundreds of Palestinian villages following the creation of Israel."

Congressman Dennis Kucinich is advertised as an invited speaker at the February 3 reception. Others speakers are chief United Methodist lobbyist Jim Winkler, who heads GBCS, nakba "survivor" Afaf Ayish, and Laila Al-Arian, who co-authored Collateral Damage: America's War Against Iraqi Civilians. That last speaker will discuss the current Gaza situation. Included in the reception will be a "meditation and prayer for the victims of the 1948 Nakba and the current suffering in Gaza." Last year, when the nakba photo show was on the national Mall in Washington, D.C., Ayish told the crowd: "A Jew from Russia has more right to live in Jerusalem than I do." According to the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, she complained: "We welcomed them [Jews] when they came and then they chased everybody out."

[John K. Matyi] You can read the entire article here. I have to admit I am having a hard time thinking of this type of 'behavior' as Christian. Most of this occurred during the 2004 presidential campaign and so it is no surprise that all of the politicians who spoke at this gathering were democrats. You might remember it was the Pope that delared the Democratic Party (in the 2008 election) as "The party of Death."
