Introduction

Divestment from Israel

Equating Israel to Apartheid
Anti-Israel Lobby Efforts
The US Campaign organizes national pro-Palestinian lobby days, petitions Congress and claims to meet with elected government officials. It also produces voter education guides, which rate Members of Congress on their voting record on Israel/Palestine policy issues.  It claims to have influenced policies of the United States Green Party, the National Lawyers Guild and both the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches.

After the June 10, 2007, “The World Says No to Israeli Occupation” demonstration in Washington DC, US Campaign members were invited to join the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) in sending pro-Palestinian delegations to meet with state representatives and lobby congress.

In 2006, the US Campaign issued a call for a cease fire in Lebanon, asking Congress and the White House “to back an immediate ceasefire and prevent Israel from using U.S. weapons to commit war crimes.”
