The
Committee for a Just Peace in Israel and Palestine is a diverse,
community-based group dedicated to organizing local activities and
educational events that advance the cause of peace and justice for both
Palestinians and Israelis. We support efforts for resolution of this
conflict that combine vision with pragmatism. At this point in time, we
have adopted, as the most hopeful path toward evolution of a just
peace, the following organizational principles:
- Support
for equal rights and access to resources for all inhabitants of the
region, based on principles of social, economic, environmental, and
political justice.
- Support
for peace and justice activities in Israel, Palestine, and the U.S.
- An
end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East
Jerusalem, in accordance with international law and U.N. resolutions.
- An
end to U.S. policies that sustain the occupation.
- International
support for an equitable and just negotiation process.
- A
resolution to the Palestinian refugee issue in accordance with
international law and human rights principles.
- An
end to all forms of terror: state, organizational, and individual.
We welcome all who support the
principles above to join us in building this important voice in our
community.
