221st Presbyterian USA General Assembly Votes in Favor of Divestment from Israeli Occupation
Last week, at their biennial general assembly in Detroit, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) voted to divest from three US companies (Caterpillar, Hewlett-Packard, and Motorola Solutions) that profit from Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands. The historic vote was the culmination of a decade-long process and marked one of the most significant victories for the Palestinian-led Boycott, Sanctions, and Divestment (BDS) movement in the United States.
