The Washington Interfaith Alliance for Middle East Peace supports efforts to engage companies that profit from the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, urging them to discontinue activities that result in such profits. Where corporate engagement fails to produce change, WIAMEP endorses divesting from or boycotting those companies.  We also urge our country to condition aid to Israel on Israel’s compliance with applicable US laws and UN Security Council resolutions, the Geneva Conventions, and international human rights laws. These measures lend a much-needed boost to Palestinians and Israelis who choose non-violent means to end the occupation.  We hold this position out of concern for the well-being of Israelis and Palestinians, given that the occupation hurts both peoples and is detrimental to their need to live in peace and with justice.
