Earlier this month, coinciding with May Day and going over Shabbat, Jewish Voice for Peace held a national meeting in Baltimore where they touted over 2,000 people attended.

Looking at the speakers on their website, you see a lot of names of people that are definitely not Jewish, like Linda Sarsour or Rashida Tlaib. 



In fact, at least 23 of the 40 speakers were not Jewish, and several like Rashida Tlaib and Linda Sarsour have been  accused of antisemitic rhetoric. 

Ahmad Abuznaid (USCPR): Palestinian-American, Muslim background. 

Noura Erakat (Human Rights Attorney): Palestinian-American, Muslim background. 

Prof. Robin D. G. Kelley (UCLA): African-American scholar, no evidence of Jewish identity. 

Linda Sarsour (MPower Change): Palestinian-American, Muslim activist.

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (U.S. Representative): Palestinian-American, Muslim. 

Prof. Eman Abdelhadi (University of Chicago): Palestinian-American, Muslim background. 

Congresswoman Cori Bush (Former U.S. Representative): African-American, Christian background. 

Lara Kiswani (Arab Resource & Organizing Center): Palestinian-American

Loan Tran (Rising Majority): Vietnamese-American, no evidence of Jewish identity. 

Thaer Ahmad (PAMA): Palestinian-American, Muslim background. 

Khury Petersen-Smith (Institute for Policy Studies): No evidence of Jewish identity. 

Montague Simmons (Movement for Black Lives): African-American, no evidence of Jewish identity. 

Raquel Willis (Gender Liberation Movement): African-American, no evidence of Jewish identity. 

Sumaya Awad (Adalah Justice Project): Palestinian-American, no evidence of Jewish identity. 

Dr. Angela Davis (Activist, Philosopher, Author): African-American.. Not Jewish.

Prof. Barbara Ransby (University of Illinois Chicago): African-American, no evidence of Jewish identity. 

Jamila Woods (Musician, Poet): African-American, no evidence of Jewish identity. Not Jewish.

Prof. Abdel Razzaq Takriti (Rice University): Palestinian, Not Jewish.

Sandra Tamari (Adalah Justice Project): Palestinian-American, Not Jewish.

Omar Barghouti (BDS Movement Co-Founder): Palestinian, Not Jewish.

Nick Tilsen (NDN Collective): Native American (Oglala Lakota), no evidence of Jewish identity. Not Jewish.


Here is how JVP describes their on site prayer room: "There will also be a prayer room open for anyone who needs a quiet space for Muslim or Jewish prayer, or simply to sit quietly for a few minutes, as well as a separate low-sensory decompression space." Also, they provided  "a facilitated ritual space to grieve our countless communal losses."

JVP: where Judaism is a prop.

Jewish Voice for Peace writes in their email newsletter:
On Sunday, the Israeli Knesset passed a shockingly racist law — even by the standards of Israel’s apartheid government.

Under the new "sexual terrorism" law, Palestinian citizens of Israel convicted of rape, sexual assault, or sexual harassment can receive double the sentence of Israelis found guilty of the same crimes. The law passed in a bipartisan vote of 39-7, and received immediate condemnation from journalists, Israeli feminist groups, and Palestinian lawmakers.

This law manufactures an image of Palestinians as more violent and more dangerous than Israelis. According to the law, a crime is inherently worse simply because a Palestinian committed it. This puts a target on the back of Palestinian men and boys, intensifying the constant threat of violence that Palestinians already live under.
Really? A law that says that Israeli Arabs would get double the sentence of Israeli Jews? 


The Knesset on Monday passed a right-wing-backed law that makes terrorist, nationalist or racist motivations an aggravating factor in crimes of sexual harassment and sexual assault.

Aggravating factors come into play during criminal sentencing and are a consideration that can push judges toward issuing a sentence closer to the legal maximum.

The law would double compensation fines for sexual harassment motivated by racism or hostility toward certain groups. 

The entire intent of the law is to ensure that in cases like the rape and murder of Ori Ansbacher, where the smiling terrorist admitted that his attack was for nationalist reasons, that the sentence would be stricter. 

There hasn't been a huge amount of Palestinian rape of Jewish women specifically as terrorism, but they have occured. In 2012, a Palestinian kidnapped a Jewish couple and raped the woman. The court at the time did not consider this a terror attack, but the Israeli Defense Ministry did determine it was a "nationalistic" crime because of previous terror attacks by the rapist.

An Israeli woman gang-raped by four Palestinians in 2006 was likewise determined by the Defense Ministry to have been the victim of a nationalist crime. 

In these crimes, the rapist specifically seeks out a Jewish woman for attack. As heinous as any rape is, when it is done as a terror act, it is worse: the rapist does not attack Arab women but specifically Jews. 

There have also been reports of Palestinian youths sexually assaulting Jewish women on buses and other public places. Again, when they single out Jewish women for assault, that is a terror attack, not an ordinary rape.

There is nothing wrong, and certainly not racist, with saying  that a terror rape attack should have a stricter punishment than a similar attack that had no nationalistic motive. 

The law does not say anything about Arabs. If a British-born BDS activist would rape an Israeli Jewish woman he would get the same consideration for a sentence. 

As we've seen, Israeli courts have not automatically determined that every rape by a Palestinian is a terror attack, just as they do not automatically determine that every shooting by Arabs against Jews is a terror attack - some crimes have only criminal motivation.


The only bigots here are the members of JVP. Notice their wording, defining Israeli Arabs as "Palestinians" and saying that "Israelis" are all Jews. Even though very few Israeli Arabs define themselves as "Palestinian," JVP is telling them that they are not really Israeli, dismissing their own self-definition. And then JVP  calls Jews racists for passing a law against terrorism and racism.

From Jewish Voice for Peace's Facebook page:

Nationalism is chametz, during Passover and always! 
Freedom only for some is never enough. This Passover, at a time when violence against Palestinians by the Israeli state, military and settlers continues to escalate, we gather to demand and dream liberation for everyone.
For anti-Zionist Jews, this holiday can be a challenging time. For some, it can feel impossible to separate our holiday traditions from Zionist propaganda advocating ethnic cleansing and land theft. Many of us feel reluctant to even celebrate the holiday as Zionist terror escalates in Palestine. And many of us may be facing yet another holiday where our beliefs and politics are not welcome.  
This year, bring your whole anti-Zionist self to our virtual seder! Our beloved community is coming together to set the Pesach table for you. Our seder will feature joy and rage and hope from our Havurah, BIJOCSM and student networks, our campaigns, our rabbis, and from JVP members from near and far—all gathered for collective liberation for us all. 


They never seem to have a problem with Palestinian nationalism. I wonder why.

Their latest "Haggadah" is just as twisted in its interpretations of what Passover is about. I looked at a previous version in 2012, which was 28 pages long and included an essay on "pinkwashing." 

Apparently that was way too much for the current TikTok generation that JVP wants to attract, so this new one is a mere 14 pages long, deleting nearly all of Maggid, Hallel and Nirtzah. it doesn't even describe the overstuffed seder plate of the previous editions that included an olive (for Palestinians)  and an orange (for feminists and LGBTQ+.). 

This one still includes the third cup of wine celebrating BDS, though.
