Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) has recently made headlines for its support of the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel. The organization's advocacy for Palestinian rights and criticism of Israeli government policies have sparked controversy and debate, with critics accusing JVP of being anti-Israel and anti-Semitic.
Founded in 1996, Jewish Voice for Peace is a left-wing activist organization based in the United States. It describes itself as a diverse and democratic community of activists inspired by Jewish tradition to work for peace, social justice, and human rights. JVP advocates for an end to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories, equality for all people in Israel and Palestine, and a just resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The organization supports the BDS movement as a nonviolent means to pressure Israel to comply with international law and respect Palestinian rights.
