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.
