AIC is a Jerusalem-based NGO funded by the Irish Government via Christian Aid. Other donors include Diakonia, and the Inter-Church Organisation for Development Cooperation (ICCO)
AIC describes itself as "a joint Palestinian-Israeli organization which prioritizes political advocacy, critical analysis and information sharing on the Palestinian and Israeli societies as well as on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict", and claims to "promote responsible co-operation between Palestinians and Israelis"
Despite this stated mission, AIC's activities reflect an extreme anti-Israel political agenda, including support for boycotts, divestment, and sanctions; AIC is a frequent participant in demonization of Israel at international forums; it has accused Israel of ethnic cleansing and published inflammatory articles blaming Israel for the Palestinian civil war.
AIC provides news updates via its website and supports four journals dealing with issues related to AIC pro-Palestinian activism, the Palestinian economy, and criticism of Israeli policies.
