Israel/Palestine
CIG members have, along with many other churches around the world, been responding to the call to develop ethical policies related to investment issues connected to the Israel/Palestine question.
Through our international connections we have been able to learn from the detailed work of a variety of US churches. The Church of England has shared its experiences as it handled the call to disinvest from Caterpillar Inc because of sales of bulldozers used by Israel in building the ‘wall of separation’ and the destruction of Palestinian infrastructure. We have gained insight from the Methodist Church’s fact finding trip to the region.
Together we are learning how to engage constructively with companies that operate in the region.
