ICAHD is a grassroots activist NGO in Jerusalem resisting the Israeli occupation on the ground and one of the first Israeli peace groups to work inside the Occupied Palestinian Territories. ICAHD struggles to stop the demolition of Palestinian homes and helps rebuild those homes previously demolished. In acts of political resistance, ICAHD works in coalition with a wide range of activist Israeli organizations including: Bat Shalom, Rabbis for Human Rights, Gush Shalom and the Alternative Information Center, as well as grassroots Palestinian groups such as the Land Defense Committee, the Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committee (PARC) and the Palestinian Center for Rapprochement Between People. ICAHD also sponsors an annual Summer Rebuilding Project that brings together internationals, Israelis and Palestinians to rebuild the demolished home.
