Please invest in peace and divest from occupation

As an American Jew, I hope you will support divestment from companies that benefit from the occupation of Palestine. That is one of the most powerful, nonviolent ways we have of putting pressure on the Israeli government to end its oppressive treatment of Palestinians. I am firmly convinced that the only chance for a just and lasting peace in the Middle East is to end the occupation of Palestine.
