Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions
The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions ( English Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions , ICAHD) is an Israeli civil rights group in Jerusalem , working for the rights of Palestinians employed in the occupied territories.
The main concerns of the protests and non-violent actions of the group are the exposure of human rights violations , the prevention of house demolitions and their reconstruction and an independent, equal Palestinian state . ICAHD also offers so-called alternative tours through East Jerusalem , which include the separation wall , roads and tunnels to the Israeli settlements, as well as places where Palestinian houses were destroyed. According to their own statements, the tours are intended to provide a better understanding of the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis.
The organization was founded by Jeff Halper , a former professor of anthropology at Ben Gurion University .
The Committee is often represented by him and has offices in the US and the UK. It is financed by donations and has received support from the European Commission and the United Nations Development Program , among others .
