Sabeel: Promoting divestment worldwide

Most of our readers will be familiar with Sabeel, the Palestinian Christian group that has been so successful in promoting an anti-Israel agenda in U.S. mainline churches. Well, the Church of England, the "senior" church of the 76-million member strong Anglican Communion, recently voted to divest from Israel -- and guess who helped sell this idea to them? (From NGO Monitor):

On 6th February, the Church of England Synod voted for "morally responsible investment" in the "Palestinian occupied territories." Christian Aid's Chair, Bishop Gladwin has been extremely vocal in promoting and then defending this vote for divestment, which is part of an international campaign to delegitimize Israel. This campaign is being led by Sabeel, the extremist Palestinian NGO, and Gladwin is the patron of Sabeel's UK branch.
