[Peace-discuss] Forward from Al-Awda

[LAURIE SOLOMON]

Wouldn't it be nice (and somewhat radical to boot) if that investment would
make the State of Illinois a stock holder in corporation Israel and allow
the state of Illinois to have some say in Israeli policy and
decision-making?  However, after hearing and reading the words of the
politicians and public in this state, I doubt if such control would make any
difference since there seems to be a distinct tendency for them to buy into
the establishment support for Irael no matter what it does.

Hi Friends-

The state of Illinois has just purchased $10 million in Israel bonds.

If you would like to point out to Illinois officials that, considering that
Israel has just massacred over 1,300 Palestinians including over 400
children, and that Illinois should be considering divestment and boycott
rather than investment, here's some contact information.
