What a nasty and blatantly anti-Semitic little post from frances troy 11 of IL. "Scum," "parasite," "boycott all Jewish-owned businesses"--please! This is the rhetoric we might expect to hear from a neo-Nazi and has no place in civilized discourse. Make your argument without reference to ethnic hatred or shut up! I am embarassed that this person (apparently) supports Ron Paul for 2012 (as I do). Unlike this poster, he always presents a well-reasoned case for his position, and I have never heard him appeal to hatred in his arguments. And no, I'm not Jewish, just mightily offended by this hate-monger.

Israel is our loyal democratic ally permitting all residents to worship their religion openly and freely. All Arab neighbors have attempted to destroy Israel by military means. they are all dictatorships and have always supported the evil powerful dictatorships who were our enemies, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. When Israel withdrew from Gaza the Palestinian Arab population choose a terrorist dictatorship as their form of government with the aim of firing rockets into Israel to murder its cvilian population.
Wy when The Empire of Japan, a terrorist dictatorship, bombed Pearl Harbor did we respond with military force rather than love? Why when Nazi Germany, a terrorist dictatorship, declared war on us did we respond with military force and bomb their cities, rather thn respond with love?
Israel has been under constant attack by dictatorships, many terrorist, since its founding.

Tiaa Cref already responded, with a resounding no.
No, they will not be bullied by special interest groups into divesting from lucrative companies. They have a feduciary responsibility to their customers.
The anti-Israel movement has pushed divestment for 10 years, and has failed dramatically- exports from Israel drives the Israeli economy, and gave grown 33% in the last quarter of 2009

This is silly. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, constantly under assault by its neighbors. The Palestinians have an opportunity to run their own affairs in Gaza, but instead of building schools, hospitals, and highways, they spent their donated money on rockets that they fire into Israel to this day. The only thing they produce besides terror are babies, to be turned into future terrorists. No objective person can blame Israel for defending itself.

The conscience of every fund holder can't be spun or traded off to the federal government thus shunning responsibility for what does with one's own money. The Wolf Clan leadership of MTC says that one of the fundamental errors of "sheep" who haven't wanted to reach a higher level of consciousness about Jesus throwing the money changers out of the Temple - is that of wanting others to think and do for them - whatever the cost. It creates a leadership linked to abdicated and unbalanced citizens' - leaders' relationships and it doesn't entertain much rights for the women leaders also - who don't want material questions to destroy social fabric and the very identity of all creatures and a living planet Mother.

"Our Jewish problem"? I'm sorry, perhaps you misread the posted article... This isn't about executing people or accusing US citizens of espionage. The message that Jewish Voice for Peace campaign is encouraging is for companies to invest in ways that demonstrate human rights for all people, and reject the mistreatment of any person or people. Call me crazy, but that sounds like a pretty good plan to me.
Peace and love :o)
