Political Views
A long-standing supporter of Yesh Gvul, Keller has served several prison terms for refusing reserve military duty in what he describes as the 1967-occupied territories.
In 1986, he was one of several activists who broke Israeli law by meeting PLO representatives in Romania and in 1988, during the first Intifada, after refusing to serve in Lebanon and being assigned kitchen duties Keller was court-martialled after spraying graffiti on 117 Israeli tanks and other military vehicles, exhorting "Soldiers refuse to be occupiers and aggressors. Don't go to the occupied territories".
In April 2004, he was a member of a Gush Shalom delegation who visited Palestinian Authority leader Yassir Arafat at his headquarters in Ramallah, to protest at Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon's threats against Arafat's life.
Publications
Keller is editor of The Other Israel , the publication of the a group called 'The Israeli Council for Israeli-Palestinian Peace'. He is the author of Terrible Days: Social Divisions and Political Paradoxes in Israel (Amstelveen 1987; ISBN 90-71261-02-6).
