To fund perpetual war, Israel has grown ever more reliant on issuing bonds. Relinquishing these holdings, often invested passively, disrupts that equation.
BDS works. That’s why US and other authorities are so opposed to it being used against Israel.
In July 2025, the company’s CEO, Danny Naveh, published an open letter on an evangelical media outlet thanking American Christian communities for “the wave of support [for Israel] not only in words and prayers but also in meaningful actions since the October 7 attack.”
Meaningful actions, which does not include prayer. He’s absolutely trashing their (dumb) worldview to their faces and they’re paying him to do it.
While it’s a laudable effort and appropriate for people to do what they can, congress.gov says:
7 Sept 2025To date, the United States has provided Israel $174 billion (current, or non-inflation-adjusted, dollars) in bilateral assistance and missile defense funding.
A few hundred million fewer bonds held here and there isn’t going to make much of a dent in their financing.
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.
Every bit counts
Even more: every drop makes gets us closer to the breaking of the dam.
