The Jewish Academic Network for Israeli-Palestinian Peace (JANIP) supports a
negotiated two-state solution between Israel and Palestine, based on an end to
occupation and the right of both peoples to self-determination within
recognized, secure borders. As scholars, teachers, and others assopciated with
academia, we seek to inject a voice of realism and moderation into the on-campus
debate, which too often has been reduced to a choice between uncompromisingly
pro-Israel vs. pro-Palestinian positions.
Please click here for JANIP's recent statement, urging swift movement towards a
two-state solution. Drafted in
consultation with Prof. Chazan, JANIP hopes to distribute this document widely.
