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
