The World Council of Churches, a collective of 347 churches, denominations and church fellowships in more than 110 countries and territories, has established several highly biased and politicized subgroups, including Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI), Palestine Israel Ecumenical Forum (PIEF), and the Jerusalem Interchurch Centre (JIC).
ACT Alliance members have “advocated for the EU not to participate in Israel’s violations of international law” and have called for “measures to ensure the correct labelling of settlement products and, further, a ban of imports of settlement products.”
MECC is a church group that maintains local branches throughout Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza, and promotes BDS campaigns against Israel.
World Vision promotes a highly politicized and biased agenda, placing sole blame for the continuation of the conflict on Israel and paying little attention to legitimate Israeli security concerns or Palestinian terrorism against Israeli civilians. In June 2016, Mohammad El-Halabi, the manager of operations for World Vision in Gaza, was arrested by Israeli authorities and was revealed to be a Hamas terrorist,
On August 11, 2016, the Evangelical Lutheran Church betrayed tits stated goals by adopting resolutions calling on the U.S. government to end all aid to Israel, and embracing BDS (boycotts, divestment, sanctions) tactics.
EAPPI, founded in 2002 by the World Council of Churches, brings internationals to the West Bank to "experience the occupation." After the activists return to their home countries they often promote anti-Israel campaigns, including BDS.
