United Methodist Church rejects 4 divestment resolutions
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe United Methodist Church rejects four resolutions calling for it to divest from companies that profit from Israel’s control of the West Bank.
The votes took place over the weekend at the quadrennial United Methodist Church General Conference that began May 10 in Portland, Oregon.
The resolutions called for divesting from Caterpillar, Hewlett-Packard and Motorola — three companies that pro-Palestinian activists have accused of working with Israeli security forces to sustain Israel’s West Bank settlement enterprise.
