The Jewish Committee on the Middle East - JCOME
During the years of the first Intifada
in Occupied Palestine - 1987 to
1993 - a group of Jewish professionals organized as The Jewish
Committee on the Middle East (JCOME) published numerous full-page
magazine ads in many publicatoins including The New York Review of
Books, The Nation, LAWeekly, The Progressive, Roll Call, and The
Village Voice. Two unique video documentaries were also
made and
broadcast on cable TV throughout the United States (they are now
available at www.MiddleEast.Org/orders).
And a unique pamphlet by Yale University Law School Professor Charles
Black titled "Let Us Rethink Our 'Special Relationship' With Israel"
was published (now available at www.MiddleEast.org/black).
