This organization is doing wonderful things in the community to help foster peace and understanding between different cultures. The trip we took to Israel and Palestine this summer, hosted by Dr. Michael Spath, was an amazing experience. We met many wonderful people who are trying to erase hate and show love while pushing for justice.

The ICMEP helps tell the other side (or the rest) of the story. I know it is not easy doing what they do. My only hope is that the Center will continue to grow and perform its valuable service.
The Indiana Center for Middle East Peace is doing a wonderful job promoting peace and justice by educating the public on issues related to problems in the Middle East. They provide guest speakers, who are experts, to share their knowledge and conduct tours so that people can better understand the situation in Palestine. I have attended many meetings and have been very impressed with the topics and professionalism of the guest speakers. Adequate time is always arranged so that the audience can ask questions or interact with the guest after the talk.
The educational programs that the ICMEP brings to this area have helped me learn about the struggles of the Palestinian people with this on-going crisis. It's refreshing to see a local organization stand up for an oppressed people with dignity and respect.
The Indiana Center for Middle East Peace offers a wide range of programs and opportunities related to that troubled part of the world. Please visit the organization's website - http://indianacmep.org/ - or Facebook page for further information.
ICMEP’s Mission Statement is: “We promote justice, peace, and human rights locally and globally through education, the arts, intercultural dialogue and resource sharing.”
In contrast both to its name and recently revised mission statement, the organization now primarily provides ANTI-ISRAEL, ANTI-ZIONIST and subtle ANTI-SEMITIC programming in association with, and financially supported by regional/national organizations that have similar objectives. Most recently among those being "Jewish Voice for Peace" "The Rachel Corrie Foundation."
