Princeton's Support of the Israeli Occupation
Princeton supports the Israeli occupation in a number of ways -- politically, financially, and otherwise. We believe that Princeton can have the most influence in ending the current human rights abuses by disinvesting endowment dollars from companies that have significant operations in Israel. More than $100 million are currently invested in such companies. Below is a list of these investments (the companies have been identified as significant investors in Israel by the Israeli embassy's US Israel Business Exchange).
