TC and others, are you aware of Combatants for Peace and/or the Parents Circle–Families Forum? If not, please look them up: https://cfpeace.org/ and https://parentscirclefriends.org/, respectively. (The latter is the website for the American Friends of the Parents Circle; the PCFF's English-language site is having a little glitch, which will probably be cleaned up soon.)
Combatants for Peace was founded in 2006 by fighters on both sides of the Israeli-Palestine conflict. Members of the Parents Circle–Families Forum have all lost a family member to the conflict. Both of them have American affiliates who are doing good work.
P.S. I don't think we should lay the blame for the settlements, or for the far-right Israeli government, entirely on "Crazy American Fundamentalist Jews." The powerful AIPAC (American Israel Political Action Committee) is currently trying to primary Democratic legislators who aren't 100% gung-ho for Israeli policies; all, or nearly all, of those legislators are of color.
