The Israeli Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories
was established in 1989 by a group of prominent academics,

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

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

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.
