  • We Greet You in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and Thank You for All You Do for Those Who Devote Their Lives to the United Methodist Church
    April 21, 2016 Dear Members of the United Methodist Board of Pension and Health Benefits: We greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and thank you for all you do for those who devote their lives to the United Methodist Church. Many are members of UMKR. We also thank you for your recent divestment from three settlement companies and the exclusion of five Israeli banks that provide funding for the occupation. Your good actions resonated around the world, and you began the process of aligning United Methodist funds with the professed values of our church. Conscience dictates, however, that we urge you to (1) remove the remaining settlement companies (most of which were purchased after GC 2012) from United Methodist investments and (2) divest from three companies the church has long engaged without meaningful success. C In 2012, the full church called on all nations to boycott products from the illegal settlements (Resolution #6111). Investing in companies located in these settlements, some of which produce those very products we are asking all nations to boycott, is a contradiction of the church’s clear position. In January 2016, the highly respected organization Human Rights Watch issued a report stating: “the context of human rights abuse to which settlement business activity contributes is so pervasive and severe that businesses should cease carrying out activities inside or for the benefit of settlements.” This adds to the urgency of our request. Caterpillar, Hewlett Packard (which is now two companies) and Motorola Solutions have long been engaged by the Pension Board staff as part of the Ecumenical Action Group for a Just Peace in Israel/Palestine (EAG).

  • A Description and Analysis of the Implementation of the Concentration Law and Its Economic
    A Description and Analysis of the Implementation of the Concentration Law and Its Economic Impact on the Israeli Economy Written by: Noam Botosh, Economist | Approved by: Ami Tzadik, Head of the Budgetary Control Department Date: February 25rd 2020 Economic Review www.knesset.gov.il/mmm Knesset Research and Information Center 1 | A Description and Analysis of the Implementation of the Concentration Law and Its Economic Impact on the Israeli Economy Summary This review was written at the request of MK Ofer Shelah, and it addresses the implementation of the Law for Promotion of Competition and Reduction of Concentration, 5774-2013 (herein, "the Concentration Law" or "the Law") and provides a preliminary analysis of the Law's impact on the Israeli economy. A Bank of Israel study from 2009 about business groups showed that, compared to other developed countries, the level of concentration in Israel is high, as reflected in the number of existing business groups, and that these groups possess high levels of financial leverage. The study suggested that this structure of business groups may constitute a risk to Israel's financial stability due to the groups' size and complexity. In October 2010, the Committee on Increasing Competitiveness in the Economy was established in order to examine general market competitiveness in Israel—mainly due to the existence of large business groups— and to recommend possible policy tools to promote market competitiveness. According to the committee's interim report, which was published in October 2011, the ownership structure of public companies in Israel is centralized, and the committee identified a phenomenon of large business groups controlling a large share of real and financial assets.
