Hebron Watch

While our eyes remain focused on the “big picture” – the need for all parties to break the deadlock and resume meaningful negotiations on a two-state solution – we mustn’t forget that, day after day, the occupation continues to take its toll on the Palestinian population of the West Bank. The situation in Hebron is emblematic of all that is wrong in the occupied areas, where Israeli citizens maintain a privileged existence, alongside Palestinians denied fundamental civil and human rights. Hebron Watch is designed to spread the word about these settler abuses and to give you timely information on the situation. Check out Hebron Watch for the latest news.

Campus Resources

For Students:

Our student page is intended to provide resources and background information for students writing papers relating to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict or other civil rights issues with which Meretz USA is concerned, and/or student groups looking for topics to discuss.

Meretz USA, along with Ameinu and the Jewish Youth Movements Hashomer Hatzair and Habonim Dror, is a sponsor of the Jewish student network, the Union of Progressive Zionists (UPZ). UPZ provides resources to student activists organizing for social justice and peace in Israel and Palestine. For more information on the organization, visit its website: www.upzshalom.org.

For Professors

The Jewish Academic Network for Israeli-Palestinian Peace (JANIP), is the joint project of Meretz USA and Ameinu, the Labor Zionist Network. The network was created to bring together scholars, teachers, and administrators who reject the increasingly polarized debate surrounding the Palestinian–Israeli conflict. Its goal is to bring a voice into the conversation – out of our identification with and commitment to Israel – that supports a negotiated two-state solution, an end to occupation, and Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza and bilaterally agreed-upon settlements in the West Bank.
To find out more about JANIP's activities, visit its website: http://janip.net.
