This program started 2002, now 1800 volunteers has been sent to WestBank to "witness" what it calls "life under occupation" from their local churches in the Ecumenical Accompaniment Program in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI).
Ecumenical Accompanier, an EAPPI volunteer, Itani Raslanavho noted that the conflict of Isreali-Palestinian is political; he said "It has nothing to do with religion. It is mainly political warfare. It is mainly run by the Zionists. It is a Zionist ideology to try and drive every Palestinian out of that land, to create a Jewish State."
On the goal of the program, Director of WCC, Peter Prove said that "The ultimate purposes of the program are to address human rights violations, impacts upon human dignity and to promote on a positive side, a just peace for both peoples."
On the other hand, Yona Schiffmiller an NGO monitor said ; "(The EAPPI) is the main tool for training anti-Israel activists within church organizations and churches around the world and it's also the main tool for inserting anti-Israel and anti-Zionist propaganda and rhetoric into those same churches."
