If you are a community member please sign the online petition. Stay up to date on the FACEBOOK page: Students Against UC Berkeley Divestment From Israel   More about the bill: The resolution, authored by Student Action Senator George Kadifa, calls for the divestment of ASUC and UC assets from companies that provide support to Israel's military in Palestine or contribute to the building, maintenance or economic development of Israeli settlements in Palestinian territories.   An opposing bill has been put forth by Student Action Senator and presidential candidate Rafi Lurie, which supports the two state solution and calls for the ASUC to instruct managers of its funds to "seek investment opportunities that strengthen Israeli-Palestinian cooperation" rather than divesting funds.   If you are interested in learning more about the bills and reading them, you can find them online as well as a few op-eds written in today's Daily Cal by a student and an open letter to the ASUC from many faculty.  Thank you for your support, Adam Naftalin-Kelman Berkeley Hillel Executive Director
