Politics (II)

So, looks like the Presbyterians are on the verge of voting to divest from companies involved in the occupation in Israel-Palestine. It's a relatively small amount of money involved; more a symbolic statement than anything likely to have significant economic impact.

Ironically, of the two news stories I've seen on this, the more neutral and informative was the one on Fox News:

The original piece I saw a few days ago is much more gung-ho about the prospects of divestment:

Should be interesting to see the results from this, if any.
