Straordinaria notizia!
Pochi minuti fa la Chiesa Presbiteriana degli Stati Uniti ha votato
di disinvestire da compagnie che traggono profitto dall'occupazone israeliana,
di sostenere investimenti positivi e promuovere la riconciliazione.
Per far ciò hanno iniziato col disinvestire 21 milioni di dollari da
Hewett-Plackard, Motorola Solutions e Caterpillar - tre compagnie i cui
profitti derivanti dall'occupazione istaeliana sono stati ampiamente
documentati.
La notizia viene dalla rabbina Alissa Wise attraverso la lista BDS.
Un abbraccio a tutte, Renata

Action
Alert
Minutes ago, the Presbyterian
Church voted to divest from companies that profit from the
Israeli occupation, focus on positive investment, and promote
reconciliation.
The respect and
power behind our interfaith partnerships is truly
limitless.
Help us thank them!
Dear Paola,
I am
overjoyed to report that just moments ago, the Presbyterian Church
(USA) just voted to divest $21 million from Hewlett-Packard,
Motorola Solutions, and Caterpillar – three companies whose profits
from the ongoing Israeli occupation have been extensively
documented.
This is
an unbelievably fantastic - and brave - decision, grounded in
the Presbyterians' deep sense of justice and commitment to human
rights.
And,
having been here for the last week with our huge team of interfaith
partners, I can guarantee you that the backlash is going to be
intense.
Please click here to sign a Thank
You Card so
we can make sure the entire church also sees how many people support
their courageous work to align their investments and
values.
The
Presbyterians should be commended in particular for crafting a
unique path combining divestment with positive investment, and a
commitment to seek reconciliation.
It's a
powerful model for how any and every community can take on the
profoundly important work of looking inward to align their values
and actions.
This
decision will have real consequences, sending a message to
Palestinians that their human rights
matter. And it puts corporations and the
Israeli government on notice that the occupation is both morally and
economically untenable.
This
vote also shows how attempts by Jewish institution to forestall
principled actions by using accusations of anti-semitism are losing
power. Make no mistake - the opposition did everything they could to
stop this resolution.
But
you should be extremely proud of what JVP contributed to this
effort. Our rabbis, young members and chapter leaders worked their
hearts out - on the ground here in Detroit and all over the country.
I have never been more amazed by what our community can accomplish,
or the thoughtfulness which with we make change
happen.
We
can only hope that as this movement for justice grows, all those who
want to see real peace and justice for Palestinians and Israelis
will join us and cherished allies like the Presbyterian Church (USA)
to take concrete action to change policy.
Please take a
moment now to say thank
you - our
courageous partners have thoroughly earned it.
Yasher
Koach Presbyterians!
