American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) is a Muslim organization based in Palos Heights, Illinois that aims to educate people about Palestine and is critical of U.S. support for Israel. AMP was formed in 2005 and was a volunteer organization until 2008. It is now a national organization with chapters in several states.〔http://www.ampalestine.org/index.php/about-amp/amp-faq/214-when-was-amp-formed〕 AMP holds numerous fundraisers and is funded solely by donations.〔http://www.ampalestine.org/index.php/about-amp/amp-faq/216-who-funds-amp〕 American Muslims for Palestine has its roots in the Islamic Association of Palestine (IAP), an anti-Semitic group which, until its dissolution in 2004, served as the propaganda arm for Hamas in the United States.〔http://www.adl.org/assets/pdf/israel-international/israel--middle-east/american-muslims-for-palestine-2013-03-29-v4.pdf〕 ==Mission== Their stated mission is to “educate the public about the just cause of Palestine and the rights of self-determination, liberty, and justice”.〔http://www.ampalestine.org/index.php/about-amp/amp-faq/213-what-is-amps-mission〕 They seek to “shed light on the plight of more than 7 million Palestinian refugees” and “Israel’s flagrant and continual violations of international law and human rights abuses of Palestinians in the construction of settlements, the apartheid wall and the more than 600 checkpoints, obstacles and other barriers to the freedom of movement”.〔http://www.ampalestine.org/index.php/about-amp/amp-faq/473-statement-of-principles〕 Their hope is that by raising awareness of these issues, Americans will pressure Congress to stop using tax-payer dollars to support Israel and to create a Middle East policy that is less biased towards Israel.〔http://www.ampalestine.org/index.php/about-amp/amp-faq/473-statement-of-principles〕
