STUDY, LEARN, ACT— Formed in 2002, Mideast:JustPeace is an educational-activist organization providing a voice for the Palestinian resistance, the anti-Occupation Israelis and Americans who oppose the current U.S. /Israeli policies in the Middle East. Many in the greater Traverse City area have been to Palestine/Israel and know that what we are learning by way of U.S. media is biased, incomplete, and inaccurate.  MidEast:JustPeace attempts through education and action-oriented activities to have an impact on these issues.
