Founded in 1978, this Israeli nonprofit organization describes itself as the oldest and largest extra-parliamentary movement in Israel. It has often engaged in large public demonstrations, the most notable one being in 1982, when 400,000 Israelis gathered to call for a commission of inquiry into Israel’s involvement in the deaths at the Sabra and Shatila Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. Peace Now is committed to and advocates a two-state solution. The organization currently engages in monitoring the growth of Jewish Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and in raising public awareness about the negative impacts of Israel’s military occupation.
