BEYT TIKKUN, Jewish Peace Organizations

The Beyt Tikkun Israeli-Palestinian action committee has a multi-pronged

approach. This includes building a working relationship with other progressive

organizations such as Jewish Voice for Peace and Rabbis for a Ceasefire. We support and participate in non-violent protests, including marches and rallies in support of a Ceasefire and an end of U.S. military aid to Israel. Working with Code Pink, Move-On and other organizations, we circulate e-petitions that, among other things, encourage phoning the offices of elected officials. To deepen our understanding of the issue and struggles, we provide a reading list to our members. Currently we are creating a facilitator's guide to The Hundred Years War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi. We will host book clubs to discuss this and other books, including Rabbi Michael Lerner’s book Embracing Israel /Palestine. We are participating in the IfNotNow movement's strategies to challenge the influence of AIPAC. These tactics include contacting your senators and congress members and asking them to sign a pledge that they will not accept contributions from AIPAC. In collaboration with the American Friends Service Committee, we identified predatory war profiteering corporations who are providing equipment or technology that aides the genocide in Gaza (e.g., Caterpillar vehicles used to demolish Palestinian homes and General Dynamics's bunker buster bombs) and write letters to these corporations calling on them to stop providing machinery and weapons to Israel.   Contact Neil Penn at ftc_penn@yahoo.com or Debbie Duenas at
