You also have heard about our divestment in Israel....here is the scoop.... We are selling stock in 3 American (not Israeli) companies, who have allegedly not been responsive. We did NOT “divest from Israel.” We actually voted to call for more INVESTMENT in Israel. We do NOT support sanctions against Israel. We support the “two state” solution, affirmed by many. We do NOT support a boycott of Israeli products. We do NOT seek to harm Israel. We do NOT expect our small divestment to affect HP, Caterpillar and Motorola Solutions adversely. We affirmed Israel’s existence as a sovereign Jewish nation. We did NOT “choose” the Palestinians. We elected NOT to continue to profit from violence and destruction. The media is, of course, having a “field day” with this, and unfortunately religious leaders – Jewish, Christian AND Palestinian – are twisting this action to fit their own agendas. Most of us knew this would happen. The church, of course, must do what it believes to be right and true and good – even if that decision results in harsh criticism. We have known persecution before in our history!
