  • Founded in 1997, funding has been provided by the New Israel Fund, the European Commission, the Spanish Embassy in Israel (in 2008), and other sources. Partnership for Peace program, ICAHD received a two-year grant of €473,000 from the European Union, which constituted at least half of ICAHD’s total annual budget of 2,346,196 NIS as reported in the 2006 submission to the Israeli registry of non-profit organizations (Rasham Amutot).
  • According to its mission statement, “ICAHD is a non-violent, direct-action group originally established to oppose and resist Israeli demolition of Palestinian houses in the Occupied Territories ”.
  • ICAHD officials use demonization rhetoric that is unrelated to housing issues, and participate in anti-Israel events.  Jeff Halper, who heads this NGO, frequently uses the term “apartheid” to refer to Israel, and in the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP)’s 2007 conference, ICAHD’s Jennifer Loewenstein referred (page 25) to “Israeli crimes, including its bloody and sadistic actions in Gaza and its atrocities…”
  • ICAHD promotes a highly politicized narrative of the conflict, falsely accusing Israel of ethnic cleansing and state terrorism.
  • ICAHD partners with radical NGOs, such as Sabeel, Christian Aid, and LAW, to campaign against the two-state solution, promote the “Durban Strategy” of boycotts and demonizing Israel, using terms such as “apartheid”.
