L’Icahd fait un travail remarquable plus que remarquable pour lutter contre les destructions de maisons palestiniennes à Jérusalem et en Cisjordanie. Information, aide juridique, et surtout chantiers de reconstruction. Ils sont souvent arrêtés par l’armée ou la police des frontières lors d’actions pacifiques. Menée par Meir margalit et Jeff Halpers principalement, cette équipe fait une travail magnifique avec très très peu de moyens
Il faudra reparler plus tard de l’action de ces ONG et organisations courageuses et « debout » comme Btselem, Taayouch, Marsom Watch, Bimkom, Alternative Information Center (AIC), etc...

ICAHD’s evolving agenda: resistance, advocacy, strategizing
Wednesday, January 23, 2013
ICAHD has always been a political organization dedicated to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, not merely managing it. We see ourselves as a political actor, not merely as a protest group, which requires, besides resistance activities, a vision, an end-goal and a strategy for achieving a just peace.
Three external realities present major challenges to our work. First, we come out of the grassroots. As a civil society organization, ICAHD has had to find channels into political decision-making among governments and international bodies that do not consider us legitimate partners, unelected as we are, having little if any political power and not representing a recognized political entity. We have had some limited success in this, but make no mistake: governments are not our friends, they are not on our side and they will certainly not take any meaningful steps to end the Occupation. We, civil society, are on our own – at least until we mobilize enough support that governments have to take notice.
