B’nai B’rith International led a chorus of Jewish organizations denouncing the recent vote by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)  to divest from three corporations that do business with Israel.

The news was covered internationally, picked up by the Jerusalem Post, which quoted B’nai B’rith on the issue.

Numerous Jewish organizations have denounced the actions of the Presbyterian Church (USA) following its Friday vote to divest from companies that do business with Israel in the West Bank.

Though the Presbyterian Church has maintained that it is not in support of the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement, Jewish agencies agree that the divestment is in clear alignment with the BDS movement.

“It is not possible to single out companies doing business with Israel for divestment and not be complicit in the BDS orbit,” B’nai B’rith stated.
