ICAHD-USA is committed to educating the American public about the Israeli government’s policy of house demolitions and the reality of the Israeli Occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem. ICAHD-USA acts to bring about positive change for both Israelis and Palestinians.

The Constructing Peace Campaign
ICAHD-USA is proud to announce the launching of our Constructing Peace Campaign. With your help, we plan to rebuild every Palestinian home demolished in this 40th year of the Israel Occupation. If there is to be any hope for peace in the region, this violation of human rights and human dignity must end. Construction, not destruction, is one meaningful step towards peace for both Israelis and Palestinians. ICAHD-USA is working with the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD) in Jerusalem to help implement this Constructing Peace Campaign. . ICAHD is the only organization in Israel/Palestine with a long track record of rebuilding demolished Palestinian homes. We are also supporting local communities in the US that want to take action by raising money to rebuild a house (about $10,000) or conducting their own educational ad campaign.

The ICAHD Summer Camp in Israel/Palestine
ICAHD-USA continues to support the annual ICAHD Summer Camp, where activists from around the world gather to rebuild a Palestinian home and learn first-hand about the “facts on the ground” of 40 years of Occupation. The Summer Camp program includes presentations from key organizations working for a just peace in Palestine and Israel, films about aspects of the conflict, and tours to other parts of the Occupied Territories, Jerusalem and Israel. For further information regarding the camp please contact ICAHD’s International Coordinator, Lucia Pizarro: lucia@icahd.org. In the U.S. contact: summercamp@icahdusa.org and in the UK contact: director@icahduk.org
