Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU) is a 501(c)(3) Pro-Palestinian[1] non-profit advocacy organization.
Founded in 2005, it received a grant from the Jerusalem Fund in 2006 for Education and Community Development which was used to undertake the first compilation of profiles of Palestinian-Americans in the fields of the arts, literature, academia, business and community service, which were then disseminated to news media and on the Internet.[2]
The Anti-Defamation League has called IMEU a "pro-Palestinian Group".
As an example, the IMEU sent a letter to news outlets in November 2007 that provided the names and profiles of Palestinian-Americans who could be contacted to discuss the upcoming Annapolis conference. The names included, Samar Assad, Executive Director of the Washington,[3] DC-based Jerusalem Fund for Education and Community Development, Diana Buttu, a Ramallah-based attorney and former advisor to Palestinian negotiators, Omar Dajani, a San Francisco-based law professor and former legal advisor to United Nations Special Envoy Terje Roed-Larson, and Nadia Hijab, a Senior Fellow at the Washington, DC-based Institute for Palestine Studies.[4]
One of the organization's co-founders is Lena Khalaf Tuffaha, who is also a member of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) Seattle chapter. As Secretary and Treasurer of the IMEU, she and the organization were featured in the Non-Profit Spotlight of the e-magazine The Mideast Connect.[5]
The IMEU also publishes 'Letters from Palestine' (2006),[6] which were cited as a good resource for first-hand testimonies from Palestinians about their daily lives by Deborah Pike in the Borderlands journal.[7]
