To fund perpetual war, Israel has grown ever more reliant on issuing bonds. Relinquishing these holdings, often invested passively, disrupts that equation.

    Gotta start somewhere, unless you think that the only way to get to 100% is to start there, and otherwise don’t bother.

      As I said, it is laudable and appropriate that people start somewhere. Bringing attention to the problem, even indirectly, is a good thing. But it is also necessary to be more vocal about who the major offenders are. Donald Trump, by way of his so-called Board of Peace has even declared that he has the right to expropriate Gaza, expel its occupants without compensation and build resorts. Israel wouldn’t be doing what it is, if it didn’t have supporters.
