Larger Print Continuing Blog

Greetings all
The blog has been revised, upon your request, with larger type. I hope this helps.

This blog will continue to serve as a way of communicating the needs and ongoing conflict with the Palestinian people and Israel.

I look forward to study, prayer and reflection with you.

Blessings, Peace, Shalom, Salaam, Amy

Divestment by United Methodist's of New England

Well, I've arrived home to hear the news that our Annual Conference completed its work on the background of companies doing business with Israel and profiting from the the misery of the Palestinian people.

I share the brief list here, but you can go to our website and find a fuller accounting of why we are divesting from them: www.neumc.org

Alliant Tech Systems
Blockbuster
Boeing
Caterpillar
Cement roadstone Holdings
General Dynamics
General Electric
Globecomm systems Inc
ITT corp
Lockheed Martin
Magal Security Systems
Motorola
Northrop Grumman
Oshkosh Truck Corp
Raytheon
Silicon Graphics
Terex
United Technologies
Veolia Environnement
Volvo

Why stop at divestment? Why not boycott?

These companies actively benefit from the crisis and willful neglect of the Palestinian people.

It is encouraging to hear the work of many people, raising their light to the situation and seeking peaceful means to an end to the occupation of Palestinian land and the extermination of Palestinian people by the Israeli government.

In the prayerful song of the Taize community:
Oh Lord, hear our Prayer.
Oh Lord, hear our Prayer.
Oh Lord, forgive us.
Amen.
