I didn't catch much about this among all the noise about Iran's Holocaust cartoon contest.

U.K. Jewry shocked by Anglican Church decision for divestment


British Jewry was stunned and outraged over a surprise decision on Monday by the Anglican Church's General Synod to divest from companies whose products are used by Israel in the
territories.
The synod backed a call by the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem to divest from "companies profiting from the illegal occupation," such as Caterpillar, which makes the bulldozers that Israel is using to build the separation fence.

Former Archbishop of Canterbury,
George Carey, told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday he was "ashamed to be an Anglican".

Ooh, was that a Christian cross in that flag those Palestinians are burning? How ungrateful.
