Holy Land Trust, in Bethlehem, enables creative programmes and projects – both locally and globally – that foster understanding, healing and empowerment of individuals and communities affected by the Israeli occupation.
Their community outreach team works tirelessly to strengthen communities and to unite local people in acts of non-violent resistance against the occupation.
Training programmes are run for all ages in non-violence and leadership – with unique workshops for women and children to enable them to rebuild self-esteem, and equip them with practical and creative strategies to deal with, and challenge, the oppression they experience daily.
The Trust’s 'Peace Research and Learning Centre' is a vital hub, from which they host conferences, run courses, offer outreach seminars and provide a comprehensive library. It also attracts scholars, experts and students from different fields from around the world – inspiring pioneering teaching and research on issues such as non-violence, peace, conflict resolution, non-linear thinking and healing traumas.

The Boycott Puma Campaign seeks to put pressure on the sportswear company Puma to end their sponsorship of the Israel Football Association, who as documented by Human Rights Watch, includes 6 Israeli football clubs based in illegal Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land. Puma’s current and past exclusive licensees in Israel also have operations in illegal Israeli settlements.
In 2009, all the main Palestinian churches came together to form Kairos Palestine. Their campaign has enjoyed recent success with the Quakers, URC and Methodists. Now see how you can become involved with Sabeel-Kairos in pressing denominations to change and with the wider work undertaken.
Israel overtly uses culture as a form of propaganda to justify its apartheid policies and occupation of the Palestinian territories. Palestinian anti-apartheid activists have called on international artists, writers, cultural institutions and those who work for them to join the cultural boycott of Israel.
Amos Trust believes that it is vital that we listen to, and act upon the Palestinian civil society call for a military embargo on Israel because of its violations of international law during its frequent attacks on Palestinians. In the UK, this campaign has been led by Campaign Against the Arms Trade, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and War on Want.
In 2005, Palestinian civil society issued a call for a campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it complies with international law and Palestinian rights. A truly global movement against Israeli Apartheid is rapidly emerging in response to this call.
Rebuilding demolished homes in the West Bank is a powerful challenge to injustice and a profound act of solidarity. Each block we carry, each bucket of cement we mix, are much more than just materials — they are made of stuff that really matters.
Campaigning on Palestine requires a combination of awareness-raising, and advocacy — and being fed in such a way to be able to keep going. Amos Trust seeks to find creative ways to raise awareness, educate and challenge stereotypes by giving a voice to the voiceless and working alongside our partners in the West Bank and Gaza. We carry out acts of solidarity to encourage people to get involved in practical actions — to make some ‘good noise’. Join us as we Change The Record.
