JVP expresses our enormous alarm at the new anti-Boycott law, passed by the Israeli
Knesset on July 11, 2011. In a move further distancing itself from its claims of being a
democratic state, Israel has removed only boycotts related to campaigns for Palestinian human rights from the realm of protected free speech .

Israel’s newly passed anti-Boycott law means everyone from Israeli anti-occupation

Dear Supporter,

Next week I am going to Charlotte, NC, and I want to bring your voice
with me. You see, financial giant TIAA-CREF is having its shareholder
meeting in Charlotte, but the company refuses to talk about the Israeli
occupation.

"We Divest from Israel's Occupation" performs flashmob in Times Square after pension giant TIAA-CREF's censoring of shareholder resolution.
