Jewish Voice for Peace: TIAA-CREF DIvest from Israeli Occupation

[FlotillaCrew]

WHY NOT BOYCOTT ISRAELS BIGGEST INDUSTRY? DIAMONDS!

[Quiltinguk]

Speaking as an Atheist I find it difficult to understand why the 3 Abrahamic Monotheistic Religions, which have so much in common, just don't get on.

.

It seems that Jews, Christians and Muslims have all have amazing members of their faith who are prepared to advocate peace & humanity - often in the face of adversity. I respect & admire you all for your high moral standard.

History will judge you as the heroes - well done.

[TurboGC8]

@Quiltinguk There are Athiest/Humanist/Satanist (those are all the same thing secretly) 'agents' that are 'authorities/officials' at the top of all three of those religions, which are ALL carbon copies of eachother, just with different faceplates. You musnt ever focus on the 'peasants/followers' of Religions, watch the LEADERS. It isnt 'Opposition' if they are all controlled. ORDER AB CHAO.

[chipmaster86]

JVFP is the best! And now a shame to see JVFP named on the ADL top ten list of Israeli discriminators, and antisemitic groups.. Makes one wonder? Makes me wonder to see what some people would do to discredit people of their own faith. This is even a more shame unto all Jews. And this is a stab in the back to the real Jews who support the old ways of Judaism, and brothers in Palestine. Not these new so called Jews who have nothing to do with G-D at all.

[TheBobbyCrocodile]

The occupation is the result of the terror and wars against israel. We all have seen what happened since israel has stopped the occupation in gaza strip. I will never understand blind propagandists and warmongers who ignore these facts.

Some days ago peace talkings began. Who does all for to attack these talkings? Hamas and their supporters!

Open your eyes and begin to think for yourself!

[rachelgolem]

Yes, we know, "I have nothing against Jews as long as they live in Alaska and vote for Ralph Nader".

And NO, Karl Marx was not the Messiah!!!

[cammie3214]

If you are going to boycott Israel, make sure not to use cell phone as they were invented in Israel. Make sure you never use a laptop or any firewalls on computers. Firewalls were invented in Israel. Don't use cardiac stents, take a camera pill, or babysense monitors as these use Israeli technology. Don't join the U.S. army as many weapon technologies were invented in Israel. Don't drive a hybrid or electric car as Israel invested millions in these and might make money.

[odinich]

i dont like you

u are ......

[WorkingAgainstWalls]

BRAVO! Thank you Julie, and Aaron, and Carl. Good job! This was amazing, good work! From Austin, Texas, we salute you for being so awesome!

[bjjuhl]

I find all this anti-semitic anti-zionist rhetoric to be completely unjustified. As long as the hateful Arabs in the region continue trying to wipe Israel off the map, then Israel will continue the need for fences and defend their terrotory. Imagine for a moment if New Jersey fired dozens of rockets into New York City everyday at random. How long would the people of New York tolerate that? Stop this anti-Jewish hatred and support Israel, instead of supporting terrorist groups like Hamas.

[Chesed1]

Proof positive that not all Jews are intelligent. Don't they realize that the "Occupation" is being done by the Arabs. Obviously they have no grasp of history and have adopted the antisemitic propaganda line of the left and the Muslim world. Anti-Jews have a knack for looking in the mirror, not liking what they see and then blaming it on Jews and Israel.

[XboxFreakboy]

@Chesed1,

Agreed.

[liberalnut]

@Chesed1

fucking zionist twat

[lalulofi]

I hope more and more people will simply do what is right instead of catering all these destructive psychological excuses of "I´m small, what can I do, we´re powerless, I didn´t know, who listens to me, bla bla bla". Thank you a thousand times for proving that we the people can achieve something, if we have more than a shallow interest. Six billion people can not change the world?

[perialmost]

I too am heartened by this action and the momentum of BDS...i am moved to tears of hope for our long suffering fellow human beings, the Palestinians. Peace and love.

[liberalnut]

Thanks to these good jews, antisemitism can never get a foothold regarding the zionist problem, this is heartening and am sending it around the world

[betsyahundred]

Thank you for your commitment. I am so with you on all your projects and grateful for Jews of conscience everywhere. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I support divestment ,sanctions and boycott. Onward toward sustainable peace for all.

[liberalnut]

@betsyahundred

its working! Israehell are shitting themselves, thats why they have to become more and more fascist, entrenched, and they will implode, the settlers will see to that, we want the settlers to be more and more extreme, then see what happens, a heavenly defeat of zionism, us activists who go down regularly to create mayhem will help too so get your asses down there and keep those fucking zionazis on their toes

[deino117]

You guys are great! I'm not Jewish, but I'm convinced that when the Occupation is history and for long after, you will be the ones remembered for courageously upholding the very best of the Jewish moral and intellectual heritage.

And doing so with real guts, I might add, because opposing you is a collection of fanatics who really will stop at nothing. Makes me wonder: if I were a Jew, would I have the guts to do what you're doing?

[Elisabetta833]

DEAR MSRISEUP THIS IS MY NESSAGE:

Energy follows thought, then the man, in his small, feeling of desire, becomes a creator. For this reason, if he wants a better future, he must turn his thoughts to the common good and abandon the selfish one, because only then he becomes a creator of love that gathers what seeding.

[msriseup]

This is a great campaign .As an American Jew, I was raised to support justice for all. That was the message of our cultural and religious upbringing. Israel is a colonial settler state engaged in ethnic cleansing of the indigenous people supported by daily violence and the stealing of and denial of access to water. As i my tradition requires, I stand for liberation for Palestine.

[Elisabetta833]

The hatred grows only in the minds of fools, because they do not know that the energy they create with their self-feeling is self-destructive, only forgiveness can redeem the danger of running that risk.

[msriseup]

@Elisabetta833 I have no idea what you are talking about

[SoPoJohn]

Besides being a member of JVP, I am also a retired English professor (Washington University and University of Houston) and co-chair of the Board of the Maine People's Alliance. I am a shareholder in TIAA-CREF, which helps to support me and my wife in our retirement. As such, I totally support JVP's effort to persuade TIAA-CREF to divest from companies that exploit and profit from the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories and the concomitant suffering it inflicts on many Palestinians.

[derekdb2]

Universal Jewish Encyclopedia: "The primary meaning of Ashkenaz and Ashkenazim in Hebrew is Germany and Germans. This may be due to the fact that the home of the ancient ancestors of the Germans is Media, which is the Biblical Ashkenaz... Krauss is of the opinion that in the early medieval ages the Khazars were sometimes referred to as Ashkenazim... About 92 percent of all Jews or approximately 14,500,000 are Ashkenazim."

[derekdb2]

Encyclopedia Britannica,

"Khazar, member of a confederation of Turkic-speaking tribes that in the late 6th century A.D. established a major commercial empire covering the southeastern section of modern European Russia...but the most striking characteristic of the Khazars was the apparent adoption of Judaism by the Kagan and the greater part of the ruling class in about 740. Judaized Khazars were the remote ancestors of many of the Jews of Eastern Europe and Russia.

[derekdb2]

Modern Encyclopedia, page 822, states:

"Khazars (khah'-zahrz), a S Russian people of Turkic origin, who at the height of their power (during the 8th-10th cent., A.D.) controlled an empire which included Crimea, and extended along the lower Volga, as far E as the Caspian Sea. The Khazar Royal Family and aristocracy converted to Judaism during the reign of King Bulan (768-809 A.D.) and Judaism was thereafter regarded as the State Religion.

[derekdb2]

Ashkenazi Jews ,Are Not Hebrev's , and have no right to claim, The Holy Land, is there's . Khazarian Jews, converted to Judaism, they have no genetic link to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob/Yisrayl , Judah or any other Hebrev. These Kenites/Ash-ke-nazi Jews ,have created a "Holocaust" of the Truth , with their lies.

[BethDaoud]

Thank you JVP! No matter how hard the Israeli PR machine will continue to manipulate and outright lie about the horror Israel is inflicting on the Palestinians, truth will always shine through in the end. All over the world, the momentum of the BDS movement continues to gain speed. Americans are beginning to realize what a parasite Israel has been to the US and are standing up to say "No more".

[perazh]

non NaZionist Jews

Real Jews

[wilemena]

It was hard to understand the audio. I couldn't understand what they were say because of the background noise going up and down.  It was very distracting.

[Janba32]

Thanks JVP. Every Jew of conscience should be backing your call for divestment. In fact every person of conscience should cry out against Israel's oppression of the Palestinians and call for boycott, divestment and sanctions.

It is time that Israel stop playing the victim card and realize that they have been victimizing the Palestinians for decades.

[TheBobbyCrocodile]

@Janba32

How hypocrite you are. You stir up hatred toward to jews by spreading lies about them and here you try to suggest sympathie to jews who demonstrate against israel.

There are many jews who support israel AND palestinians.

[Janba32]

@TheBobbyCrocodile It is possible to support Israel and the Palestinians but it is not possible to support the brutal occupation and the ongoing theft of Palestinian land to build Jewish colonies, each & every one illegal under international law.

I am spreading no lies. You just have your head in the sand. Maybe you should go to the West Bank & see for yourself. If you don't come as an oppressor or carrying a gun and come as a friend you will be welcome by the Palestinians but maybe shot by IDF.

[TheBobbyCrocodile]

@Janba32

The "brutal occupation" is the result of the terror and wars against israel. We all see what happens since Israel has stopped the occupation in gaza strip. And what is "brutal" at the occupation? That what warmongers spread.

"theft of Palestinian land "

Lol, you made my day using this propaganda shit. What is "palestinian land"? Palestine is just the name of the region, not an arabic and not an islamic name and before it was named palestine it had only jewish names....

[TheBobbyCrocodile]

... The most "palestinians" (note that this "people" exists since the PLO) settled wild, they didnt buy any land and no one gave them this land. So the land was not stolen by zionists the land just was divided by the UN for the 2 state resolution that the arabic leaders didnt accept and israel was been created on a legal way.

Of course you spray lies and i will not stop to response them...

[TheBobbyCrocodile]

"Maybe you should go to the West Bank & see for yourself."

What should i see there? The new cinema, the new discotheques, the new houses, the planned palestinian city....?

"If you don't come as an oppressor"

The true oppressor are the hamas. Every palestinian knows that the hamas work against the interests of the palestinian people. But if they speak out the truth the hamas going to kill them. The IDF is responsible for the safety on the checkpoints and not to oppress anyone.

[TheBobbyCrocodile]

... and at last i will not hide the truth about the racism of the PA:

To sell a land to israelis is FORBIDDEN UNDER PENALTY OF DEATH. This is one of the racist laws of the PA, confirmed last sunday by a palestinian tribunal.

And you point your finger onto israel, what a hypocrite propagandist you are.

[TheBobbyCrocodile]

The last days we have seen who doesnt want peace: hamas and their brainwashed supporters.

You cry loudly if israel responses the attacking fires of the murders but you are silent if hamas kills israelis and even if they kill palestinians.

If you call for boycott israel so begin at yourself and sell your pc and stay away from youtube, you hypocrite warmonger!

[ArmandAllegro]

Thanks JVP and everybody who signed. Knee-jerk defense of Israel is coming to an end. The main stream media and the Aipac supplicants have yet to see the light, but Israel's behaviour is enabling the inevitable collapse of the Israel is never wrong mentality.
