On December 12, 2004 the Jewish Telegraph Agency reported, "A group of Presbyterians and Jews called on the Presbyterian Church USA to reverse its decision to divest from companies doing business in Israel. Presbyterians Concerned for Jewish & Christian Relations asked other Presbyterians to join a statement asking the church for a moratorium on the divestment plan. The statement says it's wrong to single out Israel for divestment, and suggests the church take a different path to foster peace in the Middle East."
