Susanne Hoder

Susanne Hoder is a moderator of the Interfaith Peace Initiative and member of the United Methodist New England Annual (regional) Conference Task Force on Selective Divestment and a leader in the movement to urge the Methodist Church to divest from Israel.

She has asserted that American foreign aid to Israel “goes into the pockets of Israeli military leaders and politicians who get rich while the population of Israel suffers” [ [http://www.forward.com/articles/12587/ Methodist Church Renews Drive For Divestment From Israel - Forward.com" ] ] and that the church is “deriving income from the persecution of Christians,” because a small minority of Palestinians are Christian. She refers to Israel as an "apartheid" state. [ [http://www.nysun.com/article/70089 Methodists To Mull Divestment From Israel - January 24, 2008 - The New York Sun ] ]
