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.
Jewish Academic Network for Israeli-Palestinian Peace
Mission Statement
The Jewish Academic Network for Israeli-Palestinian Peace (JANIP) is being created to bring together scholars, teachers, and administrators who reject the increasingly polarized debate surrounding the Palestinian–Israeli conflict. Our goal is to bring a voice into the conversation – out of our identification with and commitment to Israel – that supports a negotiated two-state solution, an end to occupation, and Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza and bilaterally agreed-upon settlements in the West Bank.

JANIP supports a negotiated two-state solution between Israel and Palestine, based on an end to occupation and the right of both peoples to self-determination within recognized, secure borders. As scholars and teachers who are committed to Israel, we seek to inject a voice of realism and moderation into the on-campus debate, which too often has been reduced to a choice between uncompromisingly pro-Israel vs. pro-Palestinian positions.
