Methodists Reject Proposal to Join Israeli Boycott 
---------------------------------------------------


 
The United Methodist Church has voted down two proposals to divest from
companies linked to Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. At
its quadrennial convention in Florida, Methodist delegates rejected a
call to fully join the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, but
approved a measure urging a boycott of products made in West Bank
settlements.
