Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon commented on a statement issued by the Synod of Bishops of the Middle East, which called the international community to "end the Israeli occupation," saying that "Israel regretted the comments."
"It seems that the important synod has turned into a forum for political assaults on Israel with the very best Arab propaganda. The synod has been taken captive by an anti-Israeli majority," said Ayalon, adding that "the language used by some of the archbishops is particularly appalling."

You stated that the Constitution had the separation of church and state written in it.
Beat around the bush all you want, but you are wrong.
-Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.-
Now highlight that portion in between the dashes, press ctrl+f and type in seperation.
Tell me when you find it.
Have fun.

An alien observing the United Nations' debates, reading its resolutions, and walking its halls could well conclude that a principal purpose of the world body is to censure a tiny country called Israel.
Beginning in the late 1960's, the full weight of the UN was gradually but deliberately turned against the country it had conceived by General Assembly resolution a mere two decades earlier. The campaign to demonize and delegitimize Israel in every UN and international forum was initiated by the Arab states together with the Soviet Union, and supported by what has become known as an "automatic majority" of Third World member states......
.......None of this means Israel should be above the law. Every country, including every democracy, commits human rights violations, and states should be held to account accordingly, both domestically and internationally. Yet Israel does have the right to be treated equally under the law. The UN Charter and the rules of natural justice demand no less. It is legitimate for UN bodies to criticize Israel, but not when they do do so unfairly, selectively, massively, sometimes exclusively, and always obsessively
Palestinians threaten to break treaty they have never honored
I am also saying that this world as it is presented to the public is not what it actually is or appears. These are only public appearances..for public consumption. There is something else going on behind the scenes ..known only by a few insiders. There is nothing new about this method of operation. It is the standard world system of operation. It is however..Occult in its nature and operation. Known only by a few insiders. and against the will of the public.

Wrong. Seperation of church and state is not in the Constitution.
Please try again.

Sorry, you are incorrect, the 1st Amendment has the separation of church and state.
Quote from : Wikipedia : Establishment Clause of the First Amendment
The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment refers to the first of several pronouncements in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, stating that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion".
Together with the Free Exercise Clause ("... or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"), these two clauses make up what are commonly said as the "religion clauses" of the First Amendment.
The establishment clause has generally been interpreted to prohibit 1) the establishment of a national religion by Congress, or 2) the preference of one religion over another.
The first approach is called the "separation" or "no aid" interpretation, while the second approach is called the "non-preferential" or "accommodation" interpretation.
The accommodation interpretation prohibits Congress from preferring one religion over another, but does not prohibit the government's entry into religious domain to make accommodations in order to achieve the purposes of the Free Exercise Clause.
The clause itself was seen as a reaction to the Church of England, established as the official church of England and some of the colonies, during the colonial era.
As I said earlier, it is too bad the United Nations charter says nothing, in regards to this effect.
Unless you're stating the 1st Amendment is not a part of the U.S. Constitution?
I have to wonder if you're even American and if you are or are not where you get your information because any law-abiding citizen knows the Constitution inside and out, if they are intelligent people, and I think you need to go back to school.edit on 10/23/10 by SpartanKingLeonidas because: Adding Depth and Insight To The Post.
I have been exploring this other world, and get closer all the time to understanding it. I have discovered a way to entice those entities out to play, to in part reveal themselves, and have started to get an idea of their personalities which are manevolent but aren't dictatorial as they can not interfere with freewill.
This is why they rely on humans manipulating humans to create the grand deception.
It is slightly unnerving interacting with them, and requires a tremendous expenditure of energy to do so, really an intense change in your own vibrational frequency to tune in to theirs.
They are disembodied, but will take up residence in 'dead' things from nature.
I have to be honest, I don't really want to know what the world that they are hiding from us is, I am convinced of one thing, and that it is going to be shockingly unsettling.
I also worry in acknowledging it that it will cede additional or total power to these entities, and that this illusion we have been manipulated to create, might actually have been manipulated and created as a defense against them or to otherwise counter or partially overcome this hidden but real world.
This is a little off topic, and a bit beyond the pale, but I really admire your posts and level of knowledge and wanted to touch on that briefly for what it might be worth to you.

The January edition of La Civiltà Cattolica – the most authoritative magazine of the Jesuits, printed under the supervision of the Vatican – opens with an editorial about Palestinian refugees. Adopting the Arab propagandist word Nakba, it declares they are a consequence of “ethnic cleansing” by Israel. The journal also supports anti-Israeli historian Ilan Pappe, and falsely proclaims that “the Zionists were cleverly able to exploit the Western sense of guilt for the Shoah to lay the foundations of their own state.”
The Vatican’s teachings have a direct influence on 1.166 billion people. To understand its new mood about Israel, one has only to read what happened in the special synod on the Middle East, hosted in Rome. Nothing was said about Islamist persecution of Christians; indeed, every effort was made to show the Catholic Church sympathetic to Muslim grievances, especially against “Zionism” – a word evoked as a symbol of evil.
Archbishop Edmond Farhat – the official representative of Vatican politics – proclaimed that the ultimate cause of all the evils in the Middle East is that “foreign body” which is Israel: “The Middle Eastern situation today is like a living organ that has been subject to a graft it cannot assimilate and which has no specialists capable of healing it”.
