from Part 2 - LIBERATION THEOLOGY
Within the Jewish Israeli population is a growing movement for a peaceful end to the occupation, an end to the building of the barrier Wall and a removal of the settlements presently on Palestinian land. The Committee for Solidarity with Birzeit University (CSBZU) originally stood against the Lebanese war, later becoming the Committee Against the War in Lebanon (CAWL). Peace Now (Shalom Achshav), independent from CAWL, was spurred into action following a CAWL demonstration held in Tel Aviv against the occupation. They now have ‘tens of thousands of Israelis to demonstrate against governmental policies in the occupied territories’ (Lockman 1989: 243). Peace Now interacts with Palestinians, and demonstrates with them – a move outward from their original purely Israeli Jewish stance.
As the Intifada continued, Peace Now maintained a twenty-four hour a day vigil opposite Ariel Sharon's house until Sharon's stroke necessitated his removal as Prime Minister. Peace Now's placards and signs reminded passerbys (and it is on a heavily traveled street in the Jewish sector of Jerusalem) of the ongoing deaths of both Israeli Jews and Palestinians. According to the author of Intifada: The Palestinian Uprising Against the Israeli Occupation, ‘…Peace Now and the more radical Jewish committees shared in common negation of the occupation and a recognition of its inherent instability’ (Lockman 1989: 232).
