| US Churches Take Stand Against Israeli Occupation | |
| 2004-11-20 | |
Appalled by squalid living conditions of Palestinians in the occupied territories, several American churches have decided to take a stand against the Israeli occupation by proposing a "divestment of holdings by multinational corporations doing business with Israel" who, they say, are profiting from the occupation. The possible divestment process could result in the sale of stock in June 2006. The Presbyterian Church has spearheaded the call for possible divestments, saying four of its six divestment criteria target the Israeli occupation — including the construction of Jewish settlements. It also intends to identify multinational corporations "that enable violence by either Palestinians or Israelis."
