WHAT WE PROMOTE

The main objective of the Diaspora Alliance is to create a political climate through which the United States government can initiate a process leading to an equitable peace. To create such an environment both in this country and in the region, the group advocates four basic principles that it believes need to be implemented in order for a lasting peace to endure.

1. A practical negotiating framework accounting for the basic human rights and dignity of both peoples and representative of the aspirations of the majority of both peoples, through which a settlement can arise.

2. Immediate United States involvement and full use of all means of influence, including diplomacy or economic resources.

3. Introduction of an international peacekeeping force (IPKF), composed of forces from the Quartet, with Israeli and Palestinian participation, to stabilize the area and to achieve a hospitable negotiating environment.

4. Conflict management structure in the nature of meaningful mediation/arbitration, with a negotiating process to include impartial international expert panels to resolve working through issues where the parties cannot achieve bilateral agreement, in order to guarantee conclusive results in reaching a peace agreement.

HOW WE DO IT

The Diaspora Alliance seeks to build a network of like minded individuals and organizations so as to create a formidable constituency, based on the credibility it gains through Arab and Jewish Americans working together.

Network:

We believe there is a "silent majority" in this country of individuals thinking practically and methodically towards the conflict, yet who do not have a forum to express such views. We are seeking as many people as possible to further our cause so as to create a legitimate and affective constituency able to urge United States decision-makers to take a strong and fair stance. Our public outreach will include information sessions, public awareness events and social events.

Our means of reaching decision-makers basically comes in two different forms: letters, petitions, and meetings. We seek to inform any decision-makers we can reach on our objectives; simply, we want to tell them that there are many Americans out there who desperately want peace in the Middle East and are willing to join our cause to promote it. We believe that the more people take action, the more effect there will be.
