Here we have the apostate United Methodist Church headquartered in Washington, D.C. observing Israel's foundation as a catastrophe and inferring with the title word of their theme 'Dispossession' that the Israelis kicked the made-up 'palestinians' out, and the Israelis do not belong in Israel, when nothing is further from the truth as Israel's war history with the arabs clearly shows; and are now hosting a month-long exhibit that portrays the founding of Israel as a catastrophe.

The display, which is titled "60 Years of Dispossession," chronicles what Palestinians call the "Nakba" the Palestinian word for "catastrophe." Palestinians use the word to describe Israel's founding, an event that is reviled in the Arab world. The photo exhibit trumps what it describes as "the 1948 mass deportation of Palestinians, massacres of civilians, and the razing to the ground of hundreds of Palestinian villages" following Israel's creation. 

Although the Bible, God's infallible and inerent word is full of prophecies for the last days that speak of the Jews being returned by God to the land of their forefathers and their homeland Israel, and that Israel would be reborn in a day, and where God will be sanctified through them, there are many people and 'church' groups that do not believe this, and teach otherwise. Nonetheless, it is true, for God cannot lie, and His Word is truth.

“The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will bring my people Israel and Judah back from captivity and restore them to the land I gave their forefathers to possess, says the Lord”. — Jeremiah 30:3

According to a Faith in Action report, the exhibit is an "awareness building resource" that is being used in several countries to educate and inspire advocacy. But Mark Tooley, director of UM Action with the Institute on Religion & Democracy (IRD), says the exhibit is proof that activists with the religious left have a deep dislike of Israel.

Even though they claim they support Israel's existence, they continuously host or support events and programs like this that not only portray Israel very negatively, but ultimately call into question the very existence and validity of Israel.

The IRD spokesman points out in a column for The Weekly Standard that this is not the first the UM headquarters building has hosted a controversial event. He cites past events for groups supportive of Marxist guerillas in El Salvador, the North Korean regime, Fidel Castro's rule in Cuba, and the Soviet empire.

By portraying Israel's founding as a 'catastrophe' that can only be redeemed through the gradual eradication of the Middle East's only longstanding democracy, the Methodist lobbyists are at least faithful to a decades-long anti-Israel tradition.
