The United Church of Christ (UCC) passed two anti-Israel resolutions on Tuesday, July 5, 2005, at its 25th biennial General Synod in Atlanta. The first was a divestment resolution and the second calls for Israel to tear down its security fence.

Dr. Eugene Korn, Director of Jewish Affairs at the American Jewish Congress, commented "…if UCC decides to divest from companies doing business with Israel, it will lose its moral credibility and harm chances for peace. In the end, the call for divestment is rhetoric to weaken Israel and strengthen the extremists and the rejectionists."
