The former archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey, told The Jerusalem Post<\/em> on Tuesday he was "ashamed to be an Anglican" following Monday’s vote by the Church of England to disinvest from companies whose products are used by the Israeli government in the territories. <\/p>\n

The February 6 divestment vote, which was backed by current Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, was "a most regrettable and one-sided statement," Lord Carey said, and one that "ignores the trauma of ordinary Jewish people" in Israel subjected to terrorist attacks. <\/p>\n

Lord Carey joined Jewish leaders protesting the vote by the General Synod, the church’s legislature, to adopt a "morally responsible investment in the Palestinian occupied territories and, in particular, to disinvest from companies profiting from the illegal occupation, such as Caterpillar Inc., until they change their policies." <\/p>\n

The church’s call to pressure Caterpillar and other multi-nationals to withdraw from the territories was a "one-eyed" response that "only rebukes one side," Lord Carey said, and displayed the church’s "propensity to reduce complex issues to black and white." <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
