Scottish Jews have condemned the Church of Scotlands decision to approve a controversial report on Israel, calling it an unacceptable attack on Judaism.
The Scottish Council of Jewish Communities said the Church had provided a veneer of theological respectability for what is effectively a call for the destruction of the state of Israel.
The Church adopted the report at its general assembly attended by more than 700 ministers and elders.
Welcoming the move, convener Rev Sally Foster-Fulton said the document highlighted the continued occupation by the state of Israel and injustices faced by the Palestinian people as a consequence.
