Harvard University has sold millions of dollars' worth of shares in Israeli companies, but denies that it is divesting from Israel.
University spokesman said that the sale was "purely an economic decision" because Israel has recently graduated from the status of emerging economy to that of a developed market.
While anti-Israel lobby groups claim Harvard's move was a political statement, economic analysts, even in Israel, are inclined to believe Harvard's version of the story.
