News that the Methodist Church had passed an “anti-Israel” motion caused me a heavy, sad sigh at this latest sign of the times. Traditionally, the Methodists were the sort of Christians Jews could feel comfortable with. Like us, these non-conformists were for a long time outsiders, banished from the Establishment by the Anglican hegemony. We could relate to their simple unadorned churches, their Old Testament-inspired Protestantism, their commitment to social reform and education for all. Suffice to say the Methodists never organised a pogrom.

For a billions of people around the World July 4 means that day in 1776 on which the United States declared war on Humanity. For the United States of America the Fourth of July is US Independence Day, a US federal holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from Great Britain.
