TIAA-CREF: Divest from the occupation

Ask one of the largest financial services in the United States to divest from the Israeli occupation.

Campus divestment

Students around the country are calling for investor activism to address human rights violations against Palestinians.

End the siege of Gaza

Tell Obama to hold Israel accountable. Regret is not enough. 

Presbyterian Church USA

 Don't profit from injustice. The Presbyterian Church USA has been considering divesting from the Israeli occupation since 2004. Every other year, they hold a General Assembly. There they address issues related to Israel/Palestine, and they discuss their desire not to profit from human rights violations and injustice. For six years, they have asked Caterpillar to ensure that the bulldozers it sells are not used to demolish Palestinian homes or uproot Palestinian olive trees. Unfortunately, Caterpillar has not changed its practices.

[JPN Commentary: Earlier today, Jewish Peace News reported on a new IDF order prohibiting Israelis from transporting Palestinians in their cars. Today, the IDF froze that order.

Israeli activists, lawyers and human rights organizations had mobilized against the order. It's a great object lesson in how effective the Israeli peace movement can be. And it should inspire all of us around the world. It's a small victory, but an important and principled one, and on the shoulders of such small victories the larger struggles can be won as well. -- MP]
