    Palestine Rights Committee

    • ~ The Palestinian Rights Committee (PRC) was formed in Albany, NY in 2004 and is comprised of Jews, Palestinians, and others concerned with the seemingly endless cycle of violence in the Middle East. While we support the human rights of all people, we are called the Palestinian Rights Committee since the rights of Palestinians are increasingly ignored by Israel and the world community.

    Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace

    • ~ Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace (BNP) is an organization of concerned members of the Bethlehem community working for peace. The group formed in January 2003, and currently we have over 500 members--and growing. BNP is comprised of a wide spectrum of adults and youth who are currently working for a peaceful, diplomatic solution to the situation in Iraq, and elsewhere in the world. We believe that war is NOT the answer, and that voicing our dissent and helping our government end this disastrous war and avoid future wars are vital and patriotic acts. We invite you to get involved and join us for an upcoming event!
