Boycott the Israeli Settlements
The United Methodist General Conference, the global policy making body for the entire church, decided in 2012 to call on all nations to ban products made in illegal settlements beyond Israel’s internationally recognized borders. (See Resolution # 6111 – Opposition to Israeli Settlements). That resolution was re-adopted in 2016 and 2024.
