Invest In Peace

As an American Jew who has spent significant time in Israel/Palestine, I tell you that the government of Israel’s policy of occupation and apartheid is harming both Palestinians and Israelis. The only way to be “pro-Israeli” - and, at the same time, “pro-Palestinian” - is to demand an immediate end to these policies. Investing in occupation and apartheid is not “pro-Israeli” it is “pro-domination, pro-occupation, pro-human rights abuses.”

Please divest all funding and financial support from Israel’s policies of occupation and Apartheid, as well as from the corporations that support and profit from those policies. Instead, please invest in programs that support nonviolence, conflict resolution, and coexistence, such as the Trees of Reconciliation project. By investing in peace instead of occupation, you will be giving a tremendous gift to all Jews around the world.
