Partners for Peace

Partners for Peace was founded in 1991 and seeks "to educate the American public about key issues in the effort to secure peace and justice among Palestinians and Israelis."


 * "Partners for Peace grew out of a working committee of some 20 professionals here in Washington DC who began meeting in 1990 as a result of their concern about ongoing and deepening violence in Israel and the occupied territories.


 * "In the fall of 1991, the working committee merged with The American Alliance for Palestinian Human Rights, a 501(c)(3) organization and a UN-registered NGO, changing the name of the organization to Partners for Peace."
