Leading Norwegian writer wants to eliminate Israel...

This is from Andrew Sullivan's blog. Jostein Gaarer, a leading Norwegian author, just published an awful op-ed in Aftenposten.
ISRAEL IS HISTORY. We no longer recognize the State of Israel. There is no way back. The State of Israel has raped the world’s recognition and will not receive peace before it lays down its weapons ...

NO WAY BACK ... We don't believe in the concept of God's chosen people. We laugh at this people's fancies and weep over their misdeeds. To present themselves as God's chosen people is not just stupid and arrogant, but a crime against humanity. We call it racism ...

There are limits to our patience, and there are limits to our tolerance ...The State of Israel has raped the world’s recognition ...

We do not believe that Israel mourns forty killed Lebanese children more than they have lamented for over three thousand years the forty years in the desert. We note that many Israelis celebrate such triumphs just as they once exulted over the Lord’s scourges as 'appropriate punishment' for the Egyptian people ... We ask ourselves whether most Israelis think that one Israeli life is worth more than forty Palestinian or Lebanese lives.

You should pay close attention to the resolutions that are to be adopted at the 39th General Council of the United Church of Canada, which is meeting in Thunder Bay in the middle of this month.

What's on the agenda? What should the United Church do in regards to the State of Israel, especially if the national Church should or shouldn't adopt the policy of the Toronto Conference, which is an official boycott of Israeli goods, investments, etc.
