| A lying woman of the cloth |
"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" --chant calling for the destruction of Israel and her peopleSome people believe what they've been told. Some believe what they want to believe. Some make crap up to support their agenda.
Gayle Harris, Suffragan Bishop for the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts evidently falls into the latter category because she claimed to have witnessed the atrocities she described at the hands of Israeli soldiers against poor, defenseless Palestinians. She told her tales at the church's General Convention in July.
Harris has apologized for her un-Christian lies
"The fault is solely mine," she said in a statement issued Friday, and this finally was a truthful sentence. "I was ill-advised to repeat the stories without verification, and I apologize for doing so," she said, finally going back to her default position of lying.
Remember, she said she was there but lied in her apology claiming she merely had repeated the stories.
Alan M. Gates, the Diocesan Bishop for the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts, declared, 'We recognize that for Christian leaders to relate unsubstantiated accounts of Israeli violence awakens traumatic memory of a deep history of inciting hostility and violence against Jews--a history the echoes of which are heard alarmingly in our own day."
Again, Harris was not "relate[ing] unsubstantiated accounts of [Israeli]violence," she was claiming to have witnessed them with her own eyes. And Gates needs to add the word 'anti-Semitism' to his vocabulary.
In mid-July, Harris, who sounds drunk on the video, is second-in-command at the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts. She should resign, except it's obvious the Episcopal church has also gone astray.
She tells a story about a 3-year-old boy who was bouncing a ball that got away from him and went over to the Israeli side and he wandered off to get it. So now we know that she lied about having been there because if she had gone to the place she described, she would know that it is physically impossible for the event to have even occurred.
The Episcopal Church has rejected the measure to divest from Israel, but five additional resolutions critical of the Jewish State were passed by the Episcopal House of Deputies, exclusively composed of leftist pro-Palestinians.
Harris' "irresponsible use of unverifiable and unsubstantiated atrocity stories" was responded to by the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA). and they expressed outrage to the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts.
In response to these complaints, the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts issued a statement in which Harris admitted she didn't personally witness the events she claimed to have seen and described in disgusting detail to her fellow anti-Semitic bishops. She was merely passing along the crap she's heard from other anti-Semites during her trips to Israel.
Her lying apology and Gates' affirmation were issued in response, in part, to CAMERA's efforts to document the false and defamatory claims she leveled at a meeting of the Episcopal Church's House of Bishops during the General Convention in July.
CAMERA said it "welcomes the positive statements of the bishops. Hopefully, Harris' apology will serve as a springboard for better relations between the Episcopal Church and the Jewish community grounded in appreciation of the vital need to investigate the truth of any allegations made about the Jewish State."
Sadly, anti-Semitism is alive and well throughout the land. Even the West can take credit for this state of affairs.
If only Christians would read Islamic scripture rather than pretending to know what it says, they just might side with Israel.
