MSU Divest from State of Israel Bonds!
Michigan State University
Michigan State University invests more than 400,000$ dollars directly into State of Israel sovereign bonds. As proud Spartans and Spartan community members we know that MSU is a school that champions having a campus for all, but who is MSU really for if we invest in a foreign state which has massacred countless innocent people, of which nearly half are children? Why let our University subsidize the government of Israel when those investments could benefit Michiganders?
By signing our petition, you are showing that you want your University to invest in our community, not a genocidal state.
The aforementioned bonds are:
ISRAEL(STATE OF) AID-ISRAEL 5.5% DUE 09-18-2033 REG MARKET VALUE: 229,984$
and
STATE OF ISRAEL 5.375% 02-19-2030 MARKET VALUE 203,816$
