The Palestine lobby in the United States is organized by a number of pro-Palestinian advocacy groups seeking to influence the United States government, institutions, and citizens to actively oppose Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories, many of them members or cooperating with the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights.[1] These organizations include peace and anti-war, human rights, anti-Zionist, and Arab- and Muslim-American groups.[2] Groups against occupation also include Jewish Voices for Peace[1][3] and Students for Justice in Palestine,[1] among others. Their tactics include education, protest, civil disobedience and lobbying.[4][5][6][7]
