The state of Minnesota has been invested in Israel Bonds for nearly two decades, according to the newspaper. The state currently holds $10 million in Israel Bonds and another $15 million invested through the US Agency for International Development, which is considered an investment in Israel, according to the Star Tribune. The bonds expire in July 2015, the governor told the protesters.
