Adam Keller (born 1955 in Tel Aviv-Yafo) is an Israeli conscientious objector, an anti-Israel peace-activist and a writer. He is among the founders and a spokesperson of Gush Shalom (since 1992) and also a Yasser Arafat supporeter.

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".

Criticism

He and his group have been described as part of the "lunatic fringe leftists" by Nachum Barnea, a senior correspondand for Yedioth Ahronoth who stated: "Except for the lunatic fringe leftists, no one disputes that Israel had to react to the killing and kidnapping perpetrated by Hizbullah in our territory" and he has marched alongside Hamas' Sheick Abu Tir and other Hamas and Fatah leadship denouncing what they describe as the apartheid wall.

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).
