Invest for Peace is a proactive, pro-peace initiative. While BDS seeks to demonize and isolate, hindering cooperation and reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians, our message is positive: “Don’t Hate, Cooperate.”
Both pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian activists can work together to raise money for organizations that support a two-state solution, build bridges between Israelis and Palestinians and promote economic development and peace. In Israel, some of the activities of these groups are controversial so you may want to learn more about them to be sure you are comfortable with their work. Organizations you may want to support include:
- Center for Jewish-Arab Economic Development (Herzlia)
- Lend for Peace: Palestinian Microfinancing (West Bank)
- The Arab-Jewish Center (Haifa)
- The Peres Center for Peace (Jaffa)
- Givat Haviva: Jewish-Arab Center for Peace (Menashe)
- One Voice Movement
- Palestine Investment Promotional Agency
