Divest from Israel
What is divestment?
"Disclose, divest, we will not stop, we will not rest,” protesters at Columbia and universities across the country have chanted.
University students are getting arrested and suspended as pro-Palestine protests are burgeoning across campuses in the United States. Students are expressing solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where more than 34,000 people have been killed in Israel’s war of the enclave since October.
Students are calling on their universities to “disclose and divest” their investments in companies and organisations linked to Israel and its war on Gaza.
What does divestment mean?
Divestment is the process through which an organisation sells off its shares, assets, or other investments for political, ethical, or financial reasons, according to the Cornell Law School website. In the case of a university, to divest would mean to pull out of investments in certain companies made with money from the university’s endowment fund.
The demand for divestment is not new in the movement against Israel’s occupation of Palestine. In fact, divestment is central to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, an international effort calling for the boycott of companies accused of being complicit in the occupation of the Palestinian territory, the war on Gaza and violating international law.
What are the students’ divestment demands?
Protesters at Columbia passed around a leaflet during admitted students' weekends on April 20 and 21, listing the names of some of these corporations.
Lockheed Martin, HEICO, BlackRock, Google and Microsoft – Caroline Anne Bissonnette.
The New York University (NYU) Alumni for Palestine website calls on NYU to “terminate all vendor contracts with companies playing active roles in the military occupation in Palestine and ongoing genocide in Gaza, namely Cisco, Lockheed Martin, Caterpillar and General Electric”.
Students at different US universities are calling for greater transparency about their institutions’ investments.
Why have these companies been named?
The NYU Alumni for Palestine group cited investigations published by the Economic Activism Program of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), a Quaker organisation that promotes lasting peace with justice, which names four specific companies.
An investigation of the US-based technology company Cisco revealed that it had established a long-term partnership with Israel in 2018 to develop government-subsidised co-working hubs to help integrate small towns and remote regions to the Israeli high-tech industry. Some of these hubs have been at least partially established in “occupied Palestine and Syria”. Israel’s occupation of the West Bank (Palestine) and the Golan Heights (Syria) is viewed as illegal under international law by most countries.
Maryland-headquartered Lockheed Martin is the world’s largest military company, and an AFSC investigation found that it supplies the Israeli government with weapons. Additionally, the weapons are sometimes “gifted to Israel through the US government’s Foreign Military Financing program”, the investigation found.
Equipment made by US bulldozer manufacturer Caterpillar has also been gifted to Israel through the US financing programme. The Israeli military routinely uses Caterpillar’s D9 bulldozers to demolish Palestinian properties, the AFSC found.

BREAKING: The ICC has responded to Netanyahu's attack on them. Basically, it's unacceptable, and Netanyahu and Israel are not above the law.
“The Office of the Prosecutor is aware that there is significant public interest in its investigations, and it welcomes comments, communication of concerns, and engagement in its activities from State and elected officials, non-governmental organisations, scholars, and activists.
The Office seeks to engage constructively with all stakeholders whenever such dialogue is consistent with its mandate under the Rome Statute to act independently and impartially.
That independence and impartiality are undermined, however, when individuals threaten to retaliate against the Court or against Court personnel should the Office, in fulfillment of its mandate, make decisions about investigations or cases falling within its jurisdiction. Such threats, even when not acted upon, may also constitute an offence against the administration of justice under Art. 70 of the Rome Statute.
That provision explicitly prohibits both "[r]etaliating against an official of the Court on account of duties performed by that or another official" and "[i]mpeding, intimidating or corruptly influencing an official of the Court for the purpose of forcing or persuading the official not to perform, or to perform improperly, his or her duties.
The Office insists that all attempts to impede, intimidate or improperly influence its officials cease immediately.”

Pro-Palestinian protests grow despite police crackdowns
Despite a police crackdown on student protests in support of Palestine, demonstrations continue across the United States and in other places across the world.
In many universities across the US, pro-Palestinian rallies, sit-ins and police clampdowns on them have upended the final days of the school year.
More than 2,400 protesters have been arrested on campuses across the US to quell the largest student protests since the anti-Vietnam war protests in the 1960s and early 1970s.
Some universities have been forced to cancel their graduation ceremonies, while others have seen entire buildings occupied by protesting students.
Across the Atlantic, police entered France’s prestigious Sciences Po university in Paris on Friday and removed student activists who had occupied its buildings overnight in protest against Israel’s war on Gaza.
In Berlin, German police broke up a pro-Palestinian demonstration at Humboldt University in central Berlin on the same day, arresting several protesters.
Pro-Palestinian protests have also spread across British universities as tent camps grow at universities in London, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield, Leeds, Warwick, Swansea and Bristol, according to local media.
