Pardon My Paradox

I’ve only recently heard of some of these organisations. But a first glance leads me to think I should look deeper. I’ll be editing the page again soon.

First, another page of links: Enough Occupation — charities, trade unions, faith and other campaign groups who want peace in the Mid-East.

Israeli committee against house demolitions — What it says on the tin. And now with extra ICAHD Blog.

Peace Now — Founded in 1978, it’s still at work today. Its activities include a “settlement watch”, monitoring illegal outposts.

Jews for Justice for Palestinians

Gush Shalom — The Peace Bloc — Founded by Uri Avnery.

Courage to Refuse — “We hereby declare that we shall continue serving in the Israel Defense Forces in any mission that serves Israel’s defense. The missions of occupation and oppression do not serve this purpose – and we shall take no part in them.” And a list of those who have signed.

Combatants for Peace — People from both sides who have joined together rather fight each other.

Breaking the Silence — Ex-Israeli soldiers give their account of the occupation, with the aim to end it.

MachsomWatch — Voluntary group of Israeli women conducting daily observations at military checkpoints to monitor human rights abuses.

Ta’ayush (“life in common”) — Arab and Jewish citizens of Israel “working to break down the walls of racism and segregation by constructing a true Arab-Jewish partnership.”

Coalition of Women For Peace — Jewish and Arab women who want an end to the occupation, a two-state solution with Jerusalem as the joint capital of both. And recognition by Israel of “responsibility for the results of the 1948 war”.

Anarchists Against The Wall — Israelis (some of whom have been jailed) who are against the Apartheid Wall.
