THE JEWISH PEACE LOBBY

Founded in 1989, the Jewish Peace Lobby (JPL) is an American Jewish organization which seeks to promote a just and lasting resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The organization is now made up of over 5,000 members and 400 rabbis. JPL has worked on issues such as on-the-ground Israeli-Palestinian cooperation. In addition to JPL's grassroots efforts, it works closely with Israeli, Palestinian, European, and American policy makers... We focus on topics such as Palestinian refugees, the Temple Mount, Hamas, alternatives to bilateral negotiations, and the role of the United Nations... We do more than develop new ideas, we work both in Washington and in Jerusalem to bring such ideas to a broad range of policy makers: the U.S. Government, the P.L.O., the Israeli government, the Israeli opposition, U.N. officials, governments of other U.N. Security Council members states. To this end we use most of our funds to support our Israel office.
