	Gush Shalom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gush Shalom (Hebrew: גוש שלום, "the Peace Bloc") is a left-wing peace activist group which sees itself as the hardcore of Israeli peace movement.
		Gush Shalom objects what they perceive as the illegal Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and claims Israel is committing War Crimes on a daily basis.
		Uri Avnery, the Gush Shalom leader and a former journalist, was among the first to meet and negotiate with PLO leader Yasser Arafat.

	Shalom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shalom aleichem (שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם; literally "peace be upon you"), this expression is used to greet others and is a Hebrew equivalent of "hello".
		Shalom by itself is a very common abbreviation, and is used in Modern Israeli Hebrew to both greet and farewell.
		Shalom is also common in modern Hebrew in Israel, as a (male) given name or a surname.

	Gush Shalom / Uri and Rachel Avnery - Israel - 2001 Right Livelihood Award Recipient (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Gush Shalom was founded in 1993 as a new peace movement, which came into existence because the other Israeli peace movements had decided not to criticise the new Labour government.
		Most importantly, Gush Shalom has been campaigning, along with other Israeli peace organisations, against the further extension of Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Territories and, in particular, against the continuing demolition of Arab houses that is intended to make that extension possible.
		Gush Shalom activists are regularly arrested and abused, although as Israelis their treatment is far better than that meted out to Palestinians, and their presence in situations of conflict undoubtedly does much to prevent the mistreatment of Palestinians.

	A critique of Gush Shalom's peace programme
		Presumably, Gush Shalom has not learned the lessons of Madrid, Oslo, Wye and Camp David, and believes that negotiators representing the Palestinian elite and the Israeli elite (and "international personalities") are capable of doing a decent job far from the scrutiny of the oppressed workers, farmers and refugees.
		Gush Shalom appoints the captive Palestinian National Authority ("government of Palestine") as sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, with authority to recognize Israel, agree on "permanent borders", ignore the oppression of the Palestinian citizens of Israel and compromise the rights of the refugees.
		Gush Shalom gives legitimacy to the "Green Line", which is the Armistice Line that recorded the military positions on a certain day in 1949, 57 years ago.

	Witch hunt continues against Gush Shalom
		Gush Shalom’s “heinous act” of sending a warning to specific officers continues to be the overriding issue on radio talk-shows.
		Activists from Gush Shalom, the leftist peace group, have sent letters to 15 Israel Defense Forces officers, warning that the movement is collecting evidence about actions that took place under their command in the territories for submission to the International Criminal Court in The Hague, on suspicion that the officers committed war crimes.
		A Gush Shalom spokesman told Ha’aretz that the movement was considering passing on the information it collected to The Hague “only if our appeals to the courts in Israel are to no avail.” But even with this reservation, the decision to warn IDF officers is problematic.

		Gush Shalom — Hebrew for Peace Bloc — is an organization led by journalist and former legislator Uri Avnery, who believes Israel must evacuate the West Bank and Gaza Strip and retreat to the borders it had before the 1967 Six-Day War.
		Gush Shalom spokesman Adam Keller told JTA that the first letters were sent several months ago, but someone else — whom he did not name — saw fit to publicize them only now, in the midst of a wave of Palestinian terror.
		Gush Shalom’s letters, sent to officers with ranks ranging from lieutenant to brigadier general, were signed by “Gush Shalom’s team for the collection of evidence against war criminals.” They were sent following specific complaints by Palestinian residents against the officers.

	Gush Shalom Targeted: the War Crimes Scandal
		The reason: Gush Shalom sent letters to military officers warning them that some of their acts might constitute violations of international law.
		Gush Shalom sent him a letter, pointing out that collective punishment is a violation of the Geneva Conventions, and citing reports that twenty inhabitants of Tamoun (a town northeast of Nablus) had been wounded by soldiers under his command, among them the 70-year old imam of the local mosque.
		It may be that the purpose was mainly a public smear campaign, but still, Gush Shalom has to be prepared also for the possibility of a fierce legal battle.

	Ariga: 5763: Arthur Waskow on the Israeli government campaign against Gush Shalom August 30 2002
		Gush Shalom, the Israeli "Bloc of Peace," is one of the strongest, clearest, and most consistent voices in the Israeli peace movement.
		Today, Israeli authorities are threatening Gush Shalom with prosecution for treason -- because they have warned Israeli soldiers that it is illegal under international as well as Israeli law to comply with military orders to commit acts that are manifestly illegal and that such acts might lead to their being charged with war crimes.
		I very much remember the years when I and others with me were accused by US authorities of violating the law through our firm opposition to the Vietnam War, when it was the US government itself that was violating international and domestic law.

	Gush Shalom ad (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		There is no solution to the conflict other than the establishment of Israeli-Palestinian peace based on the co-existence of two independent and sovereign states, the State of Israel and the State of Palestine, on either side of the Green Line, with their capitals in Jerusalem.
		Gush Shalom, one of the pioneers of the idea of "Two States for Two Peoples", believes that this is the realistic solution for the historic conflict.
		But nobody tells this to Vicky Kanfo and her friends, the single mothers from all over the country who are now demonstrating opposite the Finance Ministry in Jerusalem.

		The Attorney General, Elyakim Rubinstein, started an investigation but - after a wave of international protests, among them leading Jewish voices - the AG found that the Gush Shalom action did not violate any existing law.

		Attacking leftist Gush Shalom activists for threatening to extradite Israeli air force pilots to the international court at the Hague for alleged war crimes, IAF Commander Major General Dan Halutz has urged brining the activists to trial.
		It's clear that there is a concerted effort to silence Gush Shalom and put its activists behind bars.
		For the simple action of having sent warning letters to a number of officers, with copies to the ministry and to the press (by the way: none was sent to pilots!) we are now already depicted as "threatening to extradite Israeli air force pilots".
