Students for Justice in Palestine, an organization at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, issued a statement last week claiming victory in its campaign to convince the school to become the first U.S. institution of higher learning to divest from the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Six companies - United Technologies, Caterpillar, Motorola, Terex, ITT and General Electric - were targeted by the group for "supporting or profiting from Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories."
