Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions
Church Divestment
Like they did during the global movement to end South African apartheid, churches are beginning to call for divestment of church assets from companies that enable Israel to carry out the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Divestment continues to be a matter of fierce debate amongst churches, especially in the US where the Christian Zionist movement continues to swell.
