Jewish Voice for Peace Boston Statement in Support of Cambridge Divestment from Profiteers of Genocide

Jewish Voice for Peace Boston supports the divestment from companies with ties to Israel’s genocide and urges the City Council to support this measure.

As Jews, we carry the histories of our families and our communities, including the trauma of the Holocaust and the devastating effects of racism, antisemitism and state violence. We will not permit that history to be used to justify violence against another people. The safety, dignity and freedom we want for our own communities should also be for Palestinians.

We believe our values call us to oppose oppression wherever it occurs. We cannot accept Jewish trauma as an excuse for the continued decimation of Palestinian lives and communities. We must protest the actions of the Israeli government and the financial and political systems that support it, justice demands it.

Locally, this is what is happening in Cambridge, which has an opportunity to embody these values. Divesting from companies that profit from genocide is a meaningful step toward ensuring that public funds are aligned with a commitment to human rights, equality and accountability.

We urge the Cambridge City Council to be on the right side of history, to reject complicity with the oppression of Palestinians, and to support divestment.

PACK CAMBRIDGE CITY HALL ON 10/28, 3-5 PM.

This is what Cambridge looks like. We demand boycott and divestment.

One week ago, Cambridge residents made it clear: we don’t want our money funding Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.

After hearing six hours of public comment, City Council delayed their vote on boycott and divestment. The vote is happening tomorrow, on Wednesday, 10/28. Show up and bear witness. Video via on Instagram.

Divest Cambridge! says Jewish mother and child. " These claims of antisemitism are just completely unfounded," said Michele. Camila, 6, said: "We don't want our money to go to companies that hurt kids, adults, and elders. Everyone should be safe." Please contact Cambridge City Councilors before Wednesday to express your support for divestment.
