"In February, Hampshire College became the first US college or university to divest from Israeli occupation, just as they were the first to divest from South African apartheid in 1977. "Most of us have heard about the massive injustices and oppression Palestinians live with daily from Israeli occupation, but do we know how we contribute? How do we stop supporting the war effort? Is it time to put pressure on our own university to practice what it preaches? "What is divestment? Is this really a faithful way of following Christ's call to stand up for the oppressed? "David Hosey, a representative from the US Campaign to End the Occupation, will try to answer these and any other questions you might have about divestment and Israel. He will give a presentation and then answer questions. "Oppression continues, but we can be part of a movement that stands against it. All are invited to come, listen, discuss, and take action!"
