COPIP advocates a two-state solution to the conflict ― a complete withdrawal by Israel from the Occupied Territories, an autonomous and contiguous state for the Palestinians, an end to violence on both sides, and mutually recognized, secure borders for both countries.
COPIP seeks to educate the public through speakers and advertisements; it also lobbies local and national representatives to seek a balanced approach to the conflict. Speakers sponsored by the Committee have included the Palestinian Ambassador to the United Nations; a representative from Peace Now, the Israeli/Jewish-American Peace group; a representative from Human Rights Watch; the coordinator of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions; and an Israeli soldier who is a member of Courage to Refuse.
