We can improve relations between Israelis and Palestinians — here's how:
The Israeli-Palestinian Confederation Committee is a group of volunteers who joined together to educate the public through symposiums, debates, dialogue and cultural exchanges about a possible mechanism for peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
Our members include Muslims, Jews and Christians from all walks of life.
We do not aim to benefit one side over the other. We have a comprehensive plan to improve relations between Israelis and Palestinians through education, engagement and dialogue. We believe that both the Israelis and the Palestinians in the United States can reduce tension and achieve more understanding through engagement.

Dr. Tony Klug has written and lectured extensively about Israeli-Palestinian issues since the early 1970s, when he first proposed a Palestinian state alongside Israel. His doctoral thesis was on the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. He has been a senior advisor on the Middle East to the Oxford Research Group and a consultant to both the Palestine Strategy Group and the Israeli Strategic Forum.

At this time he wrote a letter, which has become known as the Balfour Declaration, stating the government's view to "favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people" on the understanding that 'nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine.'
