Want to visit Israel and Palestine?

The Jewish Voice for Peace Health and Human Rights Project (formerly Jewish American Medical Project) announces its next delegation to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.  Our prospective dates are 20 October – 3 November 2007.  Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) is a progressive, national, grassroots, membership organization dedicated to a resolution of the Israel/Palestine conflict based on principles of democracy, human rights and respect for international law.

We are seeking delegation members who are committed to participating in non-violent solidarity work with Palestinians and Israelis and who share our vision of working for a just and peaceful end to the Occupation.  To that end, we are recruiting new members to participate in our delegation.  The purpose of this application is to gather information about your interest and reasons for becoming part of the delegation. 

For the past four years, we have sent delegations to work with our partner organizations, the Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS)and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel (PHR-Israel), as well as other Palestinian civil society organizations and Israeli peace and human rights groups.  While we began as a primarily medical-aid effort, we have broadened our scope.  Our goal is to connect delegation members with their counterparts in Israel/Palestine where they can provide assistance, while learning first-hand of the situation on the ground.  We expect that upon their return to the U.S. (or other home country), delegation members will utilize their experience to help educate others.
