PARC also engages in political lobbying activities which have included political appeals to European governments regarding the status of Jerusalem.PARC actively campaigns to demonize Israel. It is a co-organiser of the "Apartheid Wall Campaign" (Stop the Wall), and argues that Israel has invented a security threat to its people in order to " spread out its control over the whole region." Ignoring the context of terrorism, PARC claims that "the wall reflects Israel's fears of the emerging democracies and peace trends in the region." PARC also makes unsubstantiated claims such as alleging that the IDF have committed massacres and the attribution of domestic violence against women in Palestinian society to, among other causes, "the violent occupation."
