Even if this vote is not binding, it sends a very clear message to Israel: you cannot continue to lay siege to Gaza, persecute and kill innocent Palestinians, or attempt to wage wars to "neutralize" your alleged "existential threats" in the region without the entire world seeing what you are doing.

It is simply logical that some organizations are supporting divestment as a way of tangibly expressing their displeasure at these actions, which, in the day of instant communications, Israel can no longer hide.

So you don't like the negative publicity these divestment votes generate for Israel?

Then I have a suggestion for the current Israeli government:

1. End the siege of Gaza.

2. Stop building on occupied land.

3. Come to the bargaining table with the Palestinians, define Israel's borders (which you have consistently refused to do), and create a just and lasting peace, with a peaceful, prosperous Palestine as your neighbor.

Because unless and until these things happen, you will see more and more public announcements regarding divestment from Israeli-related companies; and all the bile and vitriol you can conjure will not be able to stop that momentum.
