   Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter

   The reason that Israel has been able to appropriate Palestine unto itself with American aid and support is that Israel controls the explanation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. At least 90% of Americans, if they know anything at all of the issue, know only the Israeli propaganda line. Israel has been able to control the explanation, because the powerful Israel Lobby brands every critic of Israeli policy as an anti-semite who favors a second holocaust of the Jews.

Gush Shalom is an extra-parliamentary organization, independent of any party or other political grouping. Some of its activists do belong to political parties, but the Gush is not aligned to any particular party. The primary aim of Gush Shalom is to influence Israeli public opinion and lead it towards peace and conciliation with the Palestinian people.

    Organization profile published 2007
    Resource Type: Organization
    an organization of Vancouver Jews whose purpose is to build support in our community for a fair and just solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Recognizing the inequality in the power of the two parties, we believe such a solution will be found through co-operation and dialogue, not through violence and intransigence. We are allied with similar Jewish, Palestinian and other groups, both within and outside Israel and the occupied territories, working in solidarity toward peace. We believe in the right of Israel to live in peace and security. We also believe in the right of the Palestinian people to live in peace and security, and to establish a viable independent state in the whole of the West Bank and Gaza Strip should they so wish. We believe that Israel, and any future Palestinian state, should be democracies with equal rights for all their citizens regardless of ethnicity. This does not preclude the possible eventual establishment of one democratic bi-national state, with equal rights for both peoples.
