Why Divest From Israel? A Belfast Resident Explains



You meet the nicest, smartest people while opposing U.S. support of Israel's genocide in Gaza. My new friend Jamila Levasseur went on Fox ABC's "Good Morning Maine" show this week to talk about Belfast's unanimous council vote to divest from two companies linked to the genocide: Honeywell, and RTX/Raytheon.




Jamila is the granddaughter of Jews who survived the Nazi Holocaust and who lost many family members in that genocide. I admire her leadership as a member of Jewish Voice for Peace in Maine and with the Maine Coalition for Palestine and its member org Maine Voices for Palestinian Rights

Her articulate voice is just what's needed now to continue resistance to U.S. complicity in Israel's genocide.
