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

July 20,1010, on Tisha B'Av, Jewish Voice for Peace activists presented over 15,000 petitions and postcard signatures to one of the world's largest retirement funds, TIAA-CREF, asking them to divest from the Israeli occupation. TIAA-CREF, the premier retirement fund for America's professors,teachers and nonprofit workers, invests in companies like Caterpillar, Motorola and Elbit -they all make money from the repression of Palestinians. Listen to supporters and TIAA-CREF participants talk about why they went to the meeting to call for divestment. Join the campaign at www,jvp.org. Help us get more signers.

WHY NOT BOYCOTT ISRAELS BIGGEST INDUSTRY? DIAMONDS!

@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.

[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.

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.

... 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]

"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.

... 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...

@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 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!

[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.
