At its 2010 Conference, the Methodist Church of Great Britain received a report entitled 'Justice for Palestine and Israel' and passed a resolution which, among other things, invited the Methodist people to join a boycott of goods and services produced in Israel's illegal settlements. David Hallam, a Methodist Local Preacher and blogger, has

sought to argue that the Methodist Conference acted in a discriminatory and anti-semitic manner, illegally using the resources of the church. To this end he has threatened a lawsuit against the church.

We, the undersigned, believe that these allegations are unfounded and that the threatened lawsuit is totally unjustified.
