“It is no exaggeration to say that the fate of Palestinians now hangs in the balance. An active popular movement here seriously dedicated to peace and justice can have a major impact on the outcome. SJP has done fine work in mobilizing such forces, and the

prospects for significant achievements are very real.”

Documentary: Occupation 101

SJP Loyola, in alliance with other universities in Chicago, is working with a coalition called Chicago Divests on a divestment campaign. We attempt to have TIAA-CREF divest from many corporations directly profiting from the occupation of Palestine. This attempt to divest from the occupation is in attachment to the BDS movement, standing for Boycott Divestment Sanctions.

SJP students have been engaging in dialogue with their professors, who are TIAA-CREF clients, to encourage them to sign a petition to pressure TIAA- CREF to divest from these corporations. Noura Erakat stated at the SJP National Conference this year that "AIPAC said BDS was the second biggest threat to Israel after Iran."

GAZA, Nov 19 (Reuters) - The number of Palestinians killed in Gaza during Israel's on-going offensive reached 100 on Monday, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said.

On his Facebook page, ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qidra listed Mohammed Tbail, killed in an air strike in Nusseirat refugee camp, as the 100th Palestinian fatality.

Qidra said the Palestinian dead included 24 children and 10 women. Ministry figures for the number of men killed in the conflict with Israel make no distinction between civilians and militants.

According to the ministry, 850 people have been wounded in Gaza since the hostilities began on Wednesday. They included 260 children and 140 women.

Israel puts its death toll since Wednesday at three civilians - two men and a woman killed by a rocket fired from Gaza. Police said more than 60 people have been wounded.
