US Presbyterian Church Votes for Israel Boycott

The nearly 1.9 million member Presbyterian Church USA voted Friday after a contentious debate to divest from three companies that provide supplies to Israeli security forces and Jews living in Judea and Samaria.

 

The 310 to 303 vote at the Protestant denomination’s meeting in Detroit, Michigan, means the group will pull financial investments out of Caterpillar, Hewlett-Packard and Motorola Solutions, the church’s official news service said.

 

The church has about $21 million invested in the three companies, a spokeswoman told The New York Times.
