ADAR TRIBUNE
NEWS FLASH: Russia, Ukraine and the Methodists
By Rabbi Kenneth L. Cohen
Washington, DC (March 1, 2014)
The United Methodist Church Board of Church and Society (GBCS) at its meeting Saturday boldly responded to the Russian seizing of the Crimea today by declaring a boycott of the Israeli seltzer Soda Stream.
Always deeply sensitive and ethically astute, the GBCS has insured that the Russians will not be able to squirt seltzer at the insurgents.
No other action has been taken by the board on the Russia-Ukrainian situation.
Russian President Vladimir Putin was unavailable for comment.
Happy Adar!
