  Peace Now - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first Intifada (1987-1993) was perceived by Peace Now as a political act, therefore the movement called for negotiations to be held with the Palestinians, aimed at putting an end to what the movement perceives as forced occupation of the West Bank (also known as Judea and Samaria) and Gaza.
Peace Now's main activities for 2004 are monitoring Israeli settlement expansions and the establishment of illegal outposts by the Hilltop Youth.
Peace Now was one of the main organisers of the Mate ha-Rov ("majority camp") demonstration in 2004, in support of Israel's unilateral disengagement plan of 2004 and withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

 Israeli peace camp - Enpsychlopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The Israeli peace camp is a collection of political and non-political movements which desire to promote peace, mainly with the Arab neighbours of Israel (the Palestinians, Syria and Lebanon) and encourage co-existence with the Arab citizens of Israel.
The leadership and hardcore activists of the peace camp are mostly associated with the left wing, although the silent majority of supporters are from the political center and moderate securitist-left.
Peace Now's 1982 "400,000 rally" led to the end of the 1982 Peace for Galilee war and the establishment of the Kahan investigation committee which impeached Ariel Sharon for indirect responsibility for the Sabra and Shatila massacre committed by Christian Phalangas.

 Peace Now. Now?! Well, Maybe Later (by Ran HaCohen) - Media Monitors Network
This heterogeneous camp was beaten ideologically by the purported "generous offer" made by former PM Barak, whose belligerent legacy, as we argued earlier, consisted (of hundreds of victims and) of telling the world that "there was no partner for peace".
The Israeli peace camp did not dissolve: it was banned by a concerted public campaign, a joint venture of the government and the media.
The hard-core of the "peace camp" has traditionally been Meretz, the left-liberal party whose main function is to stress the nationalistic consensus by marking its dovish end.

These acts are called "terrorist" by the Israelis while the Palestinians see them as the legitimate resistance of an occupied nation.  The PLO leadership, headed by Yasser Arafat, had long been considered a terrorist leadership by the Israelis but has gradually came to be internationally recognized as the "sole legitimate representative" of the Palestinian people.
The breakdown of the old peace camp necessitates the creation of a new Israeli peace camp that will be real, up-to-date, effective and strong, that can influence the Israeli public and bring about a complete re-evaluation of the old axioms in order to effect a change in the Israeli political system.
To do so, the new peace camp must lead public opinion to a brave reassessment of the national "narrative" and rid it of false myths.  It must strive to unite the historical versions of both people into a single "narrative", free from historical deceptions, which will be acceptable to both sides.

 Al-Ahram Weekly | Region | Absent voices
It was a 400,000-strong Peace Now rally in 1982 against Israel's role in the massacre of Palestinians in the Lebanese refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila that forced the government to appoint the Kahan enquiry, which found Ariel Sharon -- then the country's defence minister -- partly responsible for the killing of hundreds of Palestinians.
The peace camp's core message -- that the occupation was damaging to Israel and that many of the settlements would have to be dismantled eventually -- percolated through to mainstream Israeli society, she says.
She suggests that the fragility of the peace camp can be explained by the fundamental disagreements on the political left about Zionism.

 Palestine - Did the Israeli left disappear?
They didn’t stop their mission, under the pretext that a peace process is on the way, and though many among them invested many hopes in the Oslo process, at least at its beginning, they never stopped to relate to the reality, the reality of occupation and oppression.
For them peace is the complete end of occupation, not peace parties financed by the USAID or the Norwegian Foreign Ministry, while the closure is dismantling the Palestinian society and the liberation fighters are still behind bars.
Peace is not a party, but the end of a struggle, a long and difficult struggle for liberation and freedom.

 Lawrence of Cyberia: Peace Process
The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions is a non-violent, direct-action group originally established to oppose the demolition of Palestinian houses in the Occupied Territories, and now additionally involved in resisting land expropriation, settlement expansion, by-pass road construction, policies of "closure" and “separation”, the wholesale uprooting of fruit and olive trees and more.
Gush Shalom is an Israeli peace organization whose primary aim is to influence Israeli public opinion and lead it towards peace and conciliation with the Palestinian people, based on the principles of an end to occupation and a two-state solution.
The harsher the Israeli measures with "closures, blockades and safety fences," the larger the international aid "to prevent a humanitarian crisis," and Israel is not held accountable.

On February 10, 1983, at a Peace Now demonstration in Jerusalem, a right-wing activist by the name of Jonah Avroushemi tossed a hand-grenade at demonstrators, killing Peace Now activist Emil Grunzweig and injuring several others.
The first Intifada (1987-1993) was perceived by Peace Now as a political act, therefore the movement called for negotiations to be held with the Palestinians, aimed at putting an end to what the movement perceives as forced occupation of the West Bank (also known as Judea and Sumeria) and Gaza.
The Geneva Accord is identified with Yossi Beilin and the Yachad party; the National Census is identified with Ami Ayalon, who has deliberatly kept this initiative separate from Peace Now in order not to damage support from the general public.

 The Rise of Israel's Right and the Failure of the Peace Movemen
Nonetheless the Zionist peace camp did, in the end, come to most of these convictions, but it was always without real contact with the Palestinian side or the concerns, aspirations, traumas and anxieties etc. of the Palestinians.
However, by distinguishing between the Israeli Zionist peace camp and the non-Zionist peace camp, I think its important to indicate that the latter is the smaller, and when referring to the Israeli left or peace movement one is really talking about a Zionist left and that which revolves around it.
Israeli society I think will have to introduce the moral component and I think that with out doing so the struggle will remain that which the Israelis perceive it to be at present, namely one of force.

For the Israelis, the agreement opened the gates to the Arab world and put an end to Palestinian attacks --as long as the agreement was effective.
The traditional Israeli position is that the achievements of the war of 1948 are established facts that cannot be disputed and the compromise required must focus on the remaining 22%.
The only remaining explanation was that the Palestinians had deceived the Israeli Peace Camp, that they had never intended to make peace and that their true purpose is to throw the Jews into the sea, as the Zionist right has always claimed.

These present the "Israeli Side" and the "Jewish Side" in the broadest sense, covering religion, history, business and tourism in Israel, antisemitism, the Holocaust and Holocaust denial, the workings of the Israeli government, Zionism, peace efforts and the Palestine-Israel conflict, and spanning opinion from the extreme right to the extreme left.
Notably missing from this discussion of Israeli "security" issues are the threat posed by Iranian rockets and a discussion of the strengths of the armies of neighboring countries such as Syria.
The highlight is a fantasy by founder Nadia Matar about Israel in the year 2048, relating that after the Israeli peace movement advised the PNA to use terror to advance his cause, the Israeli government arrested and executed Yasser Arafat and jailed Shimon Peres for life.

But the initial response of the Israeli peace camp to the present uprising was "silence, recrimination, even a sense of betrayal," admits Arie Arnon, a leader of Peace Now.
But a second reason for the breach between Israeli and Palestinian peace activists is that, to a large swath of the Israeli left, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak's Camp David proposals of this past July "were a huge step forward in the direction of peace," says Arnon.
As "firm believers in a just and equitable negotiated peace between Palestinians and Israelis," the signatories warned their Israeli peers that the "critical situation that confronts us now" will be "revisited again and again." The only lasting exit is for Israel finally to recognize Palestinian national rights as granted by international law.

 World Peace Herald   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
TEL AVIV -- Israelis had few kind words to say about Yasser Arafat after his death last week, but criticism of the Palestinian leader was particularly acute among Israeli doves who believe he discredited peace activists in the eyes of the public.
But when violence erupted after the Palestinian leader walked out on the Camp David, Md., summit in 2000, Israeli doves were ridiculed as naive for offering what was considered overly generous concessions on Jerusalem and the issue of Palestinian refugees.
To be sure, peace activists say enormous damage was wrought from within when former Prime Minister Ehud Barak declared in 2001 that there was no Palestinian partner for peace.

The Israeli national historical version and the Palestinian national historical version are entirely contradictory, both in general and in every single detail.
At the end of 1987, when the Palestinians realized that these actions were not putting an end to the settlement momentum, which gradually pulled the land out from under their feet, they launched the Intifadah — a grassroots uprising of all sectors of the population.
For the Israelis, the agreement opened the gates to the Arab world and put an end to Palestinian attacks — as long as the agreement was effective.

The peace process has collapsed - and taken down with it a large part of the Israeli peace camp.
Therefore, the primary role of a new Israeli peace camp is to get rid of the false myths and the one-sided view of the conflict.
The clearest expression of the Israeli dilemma was provided by Ehud Barak who came to power completely convinced of his ability to cut the Gordian knot of the historical conflict in one dramatic stroke, in the fashion of Alexander the Great.

The demonstration was peaceful, but at its end a violent clash ensued, in which one demonstrator was severely injured by a rubber-coated bullet that hit his head and six others suffered light wounds.
Still, the taking from the cupboard of that flest page in the Israeli lawbook, the "absentee-property law" and using it against Palestinian farmers after first fencing them off their lands, with walls and roadblocks - this is such a major and blatant crime, that it may in the end harm Israel more than the Palestinians.
In spite of that, the attitude towards the Israeli guest was throughout warm and cordial.

However, the Israeli's want to build the new apartheid wall through the middle of Mas'ha, separating the villagers from their farm land, which would fall on the 'Israeli' side of the wall.
In order to protect the Palestinian locals from Israeli army aggression, the peace camp is no longer actively trying to stop the bulldozers from continuing with their work.
In fact, the camp is a place of relationship building, where all nationalities, including Israeli's and Palestinians live together under the stars, while trying to stop the wall.

Abed Rabbo added that the PNA is ready to resume the peace talks that were held and stopped less than two years ago at the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Taba with the former Israeli Labor government led by Ehud Barak.
He said the Palestinian leadership wants to present the complete peace plan to the Israeli public before the Israeli general elections scheduled for January.
“We call for restoring negotiations with representatives of the Israeli peace movements, to put forward a detailed and comprehensive peace plan, completing what was reached at the late Taba peace conference and based on US President George W. Bush’s peace plan and the Arab peace initiative,” it stressed.
