Background

On the initiative of the International Committee (IC), the Green Party of
the United States on November 29, 2004 signed on as an endorser of the Day
of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, organized by the US Campaign to
End the Israeli Occupation The IC has discussed and agreed by consensus to
request the CC to authorize the USGP becoming an organizational member of
the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation. The USGP¹s commitment to end
the occupation and work in solidarity with the Palestinian people will be
enhanced by becoming a group member of the US Campaign to End the Israeli
Occupation.

conflict;

seeking to change such policies as the billions of U.S. military and
economic aid dollars provided despite Israel¹s violations of U.S. and
