Please invest in peace and divest from occupation

Dear Methodists,

I urge you to support selective disinvestment from companies that benefit from the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land. This is not anti-Israeli. I am Jewish American and am concerned about the safety and well-being of my Israeli cousins. But Israeli politics is trapped by war and occupation unless the world community show it a way out. Narrowly targeted disinvestment sends the right message to the right people without crossing over into useless anger.

Thank you,
Aaron Lercher
