Please sign JVP's petition asking TIAA-CREF, one of the largest financial
services in the United States, to divest from the Israeli Occupation.
Will you join me? You can sign here: www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org .
TIAA-CREF invests in companies such as, CATERPILLAR, which profits from
the destruction of Palestinian homes and the uprooting of Palestinian
orchards; and VEOLIA, which profits from the construction and expansion
of illegal Jewish-only settlements in the West Bank, including East
Jerusalem.
This has got to stop.
Please help me convince TIAA-CREF to do the right thing. Join me in signing this petition: www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org
Thanks!

Israeli settlements cover 42 percent of West Bank |

JERUSALEM - Jewish settlements control more than 42 percent of the West Bank, and much of that land was seized from Palestinian landowners in defiance of an Israeli Supreme Court ban, an Israeli human rights group said Tuesday.
The group's findings echo what other anti-settlement activists have claimed in the past: That settlements have taken over lands far beyond their immediate perimeters, sometimes from private Palestinians. Israel's settlements have been a much-criticized enterprise throughout the decades and a major obstacle to peacemaking with the Palestinians.
"The extensive geographic-spatial changes that Israel has made in the landscape of the West Bank undermine the negotiations that Israel has conducted for 18 years with the Palestinians and breach its international obligations," the B'Tselem group said in a summary of its report.
Settlers disputed the figures and said the report by the B'Tselem group was politically motivated. Israeli officials had no comment.
The report was based on official state documents, including military maps and a military settlement database, the B'Tselem said.

Tax-Exempt Funds Aid Settlements in West Bank |

HaYovel is one of many groups in the United States using tax-exempt
donations to help Jews establish permanence in the Israeli-occupied
territories — effectively obstructing the creation of a Palestinian
state, widely seen as a necessary condition for Middle East peace.
The
result is a surprising juxtaposition: As the American government seeks
to end the four-decade Jewish settlement enterprise and foster a
Palestinian state in the West Bank, the American Treasury helps sustain
the settlements through tax breaks on donations to support them.
A
New York Times examination of public records in the United States and
Israel identified at least 40 American groups that have collected more
than $200 million in tax-deductible gifts for Jewish settlement in the
West Bank and East Jerusalem over the last decade. The money goes mostly
to schools, synagogues, recreation centers and the like, legitimate
expenditures under the tax law. But it has also paid for more legally
questionable commodities: housing as well as guard dogs, bulletproof
vests, rifle scopes and vehicles to secure outposts deep in occupied
areas.
