This committee is a non-violent, direct-action organization established in 1997 to resist Israeli demolition of Palestinian houses in the Occupied Territories "on the ground." They rebuild Palestinian homes, provide legal assistance and produce information about the effects of the occupation. On July 9, 1998, The Israeli military government in the Occupied Territories demolished the home of Salim and Arabia Shawamreh and their seven children. The reason given, as it is for thousands of other Palestinian families, is that the West bank is zoned as agricultural land and therefore Palestinians who own land there cannot receive building permits. Salim had purchased the land in the early 1990s and had duly registered it with the Civil Administration. He applied four times for a building permit, paying each time a fee of $5000, and was each time rejected. Finally he built his house without a permit. After four years, his house was demolished with hundreds of military overseeing the operation. Since then Salim, ICAHD and dozens of volunteers have rebuilt the home, till it was demolished again. After it was demolished for the fourth time in March 2003, the family decided to find an other place to live, rebuilding the demolished house as a Palestinian-Israeli Peace Center. A gift was shared to help Salim and Arabia Shawamreh buy the apartment where they live.
