Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI)

- Website: www.eappi.org
- Supported and funded by the World Council of Churches, with members in numerous countries. The WCC is a major supporter of the anti-Israel divestment campaign.
- Managed by Salpy Eskidjian, an Armenian Cypriot with a radical anti-Israel agenda.
- Claiming to act in the name of peace, EAPPI's policies reflect a radical pro-Palestinian agenda, such as the Ecumenical Campaign to End the Illegal Occupation of Palestine. "Its mission is to accompany Palestinians and Israelis in their non-violent actions and concerted advocacy efforts to end the occupation." EAPPI presents a biased Palestinian narrative, and fails to make any mention of Palestinian terror or of the human rights of Israelis.
- Ecumenical Accompaniers are sent for three-month periods "to try to reduce the brutality of the Occupation and improve the daily lives of both peoples." Since the programme was launched in August 2002, 198 activists have participated from more than 30 churches and ecumenical partners in 12 countries. Upon returning to their home base, most become active in anti-Israel campaigns.
- These political activists also work with similar Palestinian NGOs, such as the Union of Palestinian Medical Relief Committees (UPMRC).
- EAPPI consistently uses demonizing terms such as "apartheid", "war crimes", etc.
