AIC - Alternative Information Center Details
The Alternative Information Center (AIC) is a joint Palestinian-Israeli organisation promoting justice, equality and peace for Palestinians and Israelis.The AIC believes that peace can be just and lasting only when based on ending Israel's colonial occupation, securing the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and the right of refugees to return. Only such a just peace, based on international law, can guarantee individual and collective rights of both Palestinians and Israelis.The AIC promotes a joint Palestinian-Israeli struggle and strongly opposes "normalisation", those actions that "normalise" Israel's occupation policies while presenting the Israeli-Arab conflict as one of conflicting narratives, lack of understanding or something to be overcome through personal relationships and getting to know the "other".Founded in 1984, the AIC acts as a material bridge and platform for politically responsible cooperation between Palestinians and Israelis and a counter to the prevailing philosophies and practices of separation between the two communities. What has allowed the AIC to flourish over 30 years when so many other joint initiatives came and went, is its clear socio-political foundation.The AIC is grounded in internationalist values and actively participates in the gloal justice movement. AIC actions promote the anti-colonial struggle in the region and a Middle East free of wars and oppression.
