Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions
Encyclopedia : I : IS : ISR : Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions
The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD) describes itself as "a non-violent, direct-action group originally established to oppose and resist Israeli demolition of Palestinian houses in the Occupied Territories."[link] It was founded by Jeff Halper, a professor of Anthropology at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
ICAHD opposes what it calls the "matrix of control" that Israel has established over the West Bank and East Jerusalem and sees the dismantling of this control as the only path towards peace. [link] They also actively campaign against what they believe are Human rights violations and an emerging apartheid. [link]
ICAHD's activities include publishing reports, analysis, and books on the Israeli Occupation of Palestinian land, International advocacy, and peaceful protest and resistance operations on the ground. Each summer ICAHD organizes a summer camp where Internationals, Israelis, and Palestinians rebuild a demolished Palestinian home. ICAHD also briefs journalists and visiting diplomats, and conducts tours of Greater Jerusalem and the Occupied West Bank.
