Legal Insurrection “ 'Jewish Voice for Peace” bills itself as a Jewish pro-peace organization.

"But JVP is not a Jewish organization. At most it claims to support “Jewish traditions of social justice” as set forth on its 2016 listing of Core Values.

"JVP also is not a pro-peace organization. As our extensive coverage over the years has demonstrated, JVP in reality is dedicated to delegitimizing Israel by providing an “as a Jew” cover for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement and others who seek the destruction of Israel." . . .

. . . 

"In addition to these speakers, JVP will be featuring a parade of anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian speakers.

"Notably, no representation of the more standard ‘pro-peace’ line of Israeli (or for that matter) Palestinian speakers will be present. Rather, the speakers, almost to a one, has a record of blaming Israel for racism and aggression (or ‘colonialism’), and, among those who have spoken out on the matter: all support a blame Israel approach that manifests itself in boycotts and hostility to everything Israel.

"This piece will survey some of the Featured Speakers and their history of anti-Israel activism.

As you go through the list, ask yourselves, is the group sponsoring this collection of speakers really a Jewish voice for peace?" . . .
