Brit Shalom (political organization)
- Brit Shalom (political organization)
Brit Shalom ( _he. ברית שלום, lit. "covenant of peace"; _ar. تحالف ألسلام, "Tahalof Essalam"; also called the Jewish-Palestinian Peace Alliance) was a group of Jewish intellectuals, founded in 1925.
The original "Brit Shalom" sought a peaceful coexistence between Arabs and Jews, achieved by a Jewish renunciation of the Balfour Declaration. It supported the establishment of a bi-national regime under the British Mandate, where both Jews and Arabs would enjoy equality.
Among its supporters and founders: Arthur Ruppin, Martin Buber, Hugo Bergmann, Gershom Scholem, Henrietta Szold. Others, such as Albert Einstein had also voiced their support.
Most Palestinian Jews and Arabs rejected the proposed solution and the movement became a marginal element in the politics of the region.
Several years ago, a new American peace group took the name Brit Tzedek v'Shalom in a deliberate echo of the original Brit Shalom. However, the newer group supports a two state solution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
