...Israel defied U.S. criticism and a U.N. resolution calling for an immediate end to its siege of Yasser Arafat's compound in Ramallah. Israeli officials insisted that Arafat first had to hand over 50 alleged militants holed up with him in his half-ruined office building.

Divestment is a political issue, one on which intelligent, open-minded people can disagree. Opposition to policies of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s government is no more an attack on the people of Israel, or on Jews in particular, than opposition to the Bush administration’s policies is an attack on the American people—and divestment is a way of expressing political dissatisfaction, albeit...
