Jeff Halper ((ヘブライ語:ג'ף הלפר); born 1946〔) is an American-born anthropologist, author, lecturer, and political activist who has lived in Israel since 1973. He is co-founder and Director of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD). Halper has written several books on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and is a frequent writer and speaker about Israeli politics, focusing mainly on nonviolent strategies to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He is a supporter of the BDS movement and the academic boycott of Israel, and considers Israel to be guilty of “apartheid” and of a deliberate campaign of “Judaization” of the Palestinian territories. In 1997, Halper co-founded ICAHD to challenge and resist the Israeli policy of demolishing Palestinian homes in the Occupied Territories and to organize Israelis, Palestinians and international volunteers to jointly rebuild demolished Palestinian homes—although ICAHD considers its resistance to house demolitions as a vehicle for exposing how the Israeli Occupation works and ultimately to end it. He has created a new mode of Israeli peace activity based on nonviolent direct action, civil disobedience in the Occupied Territories and international advocacy. Halper was nominated, together with the Palestinian intellectual/activist Ghassan Andoni, for the Nobel Peace Prize by the American Friends Service Committee for his work "to liberate both the Palestinian and the Israeli people from the yoke of structural violence" and "to build equality between their people by recognizing and celebrating their common humanity". ==Early career== Halper was born in Minnesota in 1946.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =ICAHD )〕 He grew up in Hibbing, Minnesota, attended rabbinical school,.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =ICAHD USA )〕 and received a Ph.D. in Cultural and Applied Anthropology from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =LA Jews for Peace )〕 He became involved in the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements of the 1960s and resisting military service in the war.〔 Halper emigrated to Israel in 1973〔 because of his opposition to the war.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =Haaretz )〕 He served as an adjunct lecturer in anthropology at the University of Haifa and at Ben Gurion University in Beersheba. Most of his academic career, however, has been spent at Friends World College (FWC). He was director of FWC's Middle East Center in Jerusalem, and when FWC merged with Long Island University in 1991, he became its Director of its International Academic Operations, and was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor. His academic research focuses on the history of modern Jerusalem, contemporary Israeli culture, and the Middle East conflict. In addition to teaching and research, Halper is involved in issues of social justice activism in Israel. He spent ten years as a community volunteer in Jerusalem’s inner city neighborhoods, and was a founder of ''Ohel'' - a social protest movement of working-class Mizrahi Jews. He served as the Chairman of the Israeli Association for Ethiopian Jews, having been active in the 1960s in championing the rights of Ethiopian Jews and in researching the history of the Jewish community in Ethiopia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeff Halper」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
