JANIP is launching a sign-up campaign of Jewish academics who support our mission statement. Our goal is to demonstrate that the silent majority on university and college campuses is in favor of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations and a two-state solution. JANIP will be the voice for this majority.
The JANIP mission statement appears below. If you support this statement and are willing to have your name appear on a list of JANIP supporters, please send your name and academic affiliation to info@janip.net.
