  • The following links were collected at the July Monthly meeting of Newton Dialogs on the Israel -Palestine Conflict.

    • FFIPP(www.ffipp.org), the Faculty For Israeli-Palestinian Peace, is a network of faculty endeavoring to achieve just peace and end the occupation in Israel/Palestine and the region.

    • Brit Tzedek v'Shalom (www.btvshalom.org), the Jewish Alliance for Justice and Peace, is a national organization of American Jews deeply committed to Israel's well-being through the achievement of a negotiated settlement to the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. 

    • Sabeel (www.sabeel.org) is an ecumenical grassroots liberation movement among Palestinian Christians. It's an ecumenical center for Palestinian Liberation Theology which seeks to make the Gospel contextually relevant. In Arabic Sabeel means 'The Way' and also a 'Spring of Water'. Sabeel strives to develop a spirituality based on justice, peace, nonviolence, liberation and reconciliation for the different national and faith communities. Sabeel also works to promote a more accurate international awareness regarding the identity, presence, and witness of Palestinian Christians.

    • Grassroots International (www.grassrootsonline.org) promotes global justice through partnerships with social change organizations. We work to advance political, economic and social rights and support development alternatives through grantmaking, education and advocacy.

    • B'TSELEM (www.btselem.org) The Israeli Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories was established in 1989 by a group of prominent academics, attorneys, journalists, and Knesset members. It endeavors to document and educate the Israeli public and policymakers about human rights violations in the Occupied Territories, combat the phenomenon of denial prevalent among the Israeli public, and help create a human rights culture in Israel. As an Israeli human rights organization, B'Tselem acts primarily to change Israeli policy in the Occupied Territories and ensure that its government, which rules the Occupied Territories, protects the human rights of residents there and complies with its obligations under international law.

    • ICAHD (www.icahd.org) is a non-violent, direct-action group originally established to oppose and resist Israeli demolition of Palestinian houses in the Occupied Territories. As our activists gained direct knowledge of the brutalities of the Occupation, we expanded our resistance activities to other areas - land expropriation, settlement expansion, by-pass road construction, policies of "closure" and "separation," the wholesale uprooting of fruit and olive trees and more. The fierce repression of Palestinian efforts to "shake off" the Occupation following the latest Intifada has only added urgency to our efforts. As a direct-action group, ICAHD is comprised of members of many Israeli peace and human rights organizations. All of our work in the Occupied Territories is closely co-ordinated with local Palestinian organizations.

    • American Diaspora Alliance for Israel Palestine Peace (www.adaipp.org) We –Jewish Americans and Arab Americans (both Muslim and Christian) - commit to doing all within our power to promote peace, justice, and the prospects of a better life for the Israeli and Palestinian peoples. We accordingly establish this Committee in the firm belief that many Arab, Jewish, and other Americans share this commitment and seek a platform from which to be heard. Recognizing the profound and continuing losses suffered by both peoples over the millennia - a tragic history pervaded by recurring expropriation, exile, and death - yet cognizant of the peaceful and fruitful coexistence between Arabs and Jews during many centuries in many countries - we believe that an abundant and life-affirming future will follow the resolution of current conflict through creative compromise and the rebirth of mutual respect.
