Secretary: Adam Keller

The ICIPP is an Israeli organization supporting a peaceful solution to the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, to be achieved through the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territories occupied in 1967 and the creation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. East Jerusalem should become the capital of Palestine while West Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel. The city of Jerusalem would retain a municipal unity through a joint town council, with each religion's holy sites being administered by its own religious authorities. The Israeli government should make Palestinians who remain within the borders of Israel equal citizens by abolishing all discriminatory laws and practices. Israeli settlers who choose to remain as law-abiding citizens or residents of the Palestinian state should be assured equality under the law.

The ICIPP maintained an ongoing dialogue with the PLO leadership and was active in abolishing the so-called "Anti-Terrorism Act" which outlawed such contacts. The ICIPP also backed soldiers who refused to serve in the Occupied Territories. The Other Israel, a bimonthly publication which covers ICIPP activities as well as the struggles of the Israeli peace movement at large, report on many issues which find no coverage in the world media and contains commentaries on events in Israel and the Middle East from a perspective which demonstrates that Israeli and Palestinian interests are not irreconcilable.

Today's Situation

"The army that will defeat terrorism doesn't wear uniforms, or drive Humvees, or calls in air-strikes. It doesn't have a high command, or high security, or a high budget. The army that can defeat terrorism does battle quietly, clearing minefields and vaccinating children. It undermines military dictatorships and military lobbyists. It subverts sweatshops and special interests.Where people feel powerless, it helps them organize for change, and where people are powerful, it reminds them of their responsibility." ~~~~ Author Unknown ~~~~
