As a documentary filmmaker, Americans for a Just Peace executive director David Neunuebel dedicates his films to educating the American public on the lesser known points of the conflict in Israel-Palestine.

David Neunuebel travels to Israel-Palestine every year. He has gone there every year since 1997, well before the creation and development of Americans for a Just Peace. Bringing that organization up from nothing to a full, legal 501(c)3 nonprofit, it became necessary to get others involved. He has added staff and we've come a long way, but we urge you to support our work by joining Americans for a Just Peace with a tax-deductible membership, donating with a tax-deductible gift, or ordering a documentary.

David is an inspiring motivator, engaging his audiences with personal stories from his annual travels and delivering pertinent facts and footage to educate American audiences. As an active member of the US Campaign to End the Occupation coalition of grassroots organizations, David Neunuebel works for an end to the Occupation with the guidance of Joshua Ruebner, Just Peace consultant, founder of Jews for Peace in Palestine-Israel, and coordinator with the U.S. Campaign to End the Occupation.
