(LOS ANGELES, CA — January 7, 2025)
StandWithUs released a comprehensive report titled “Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP): A Shield for Hate, Not a Voice for Peace,” exposing the extremist ideology, dangerous alliances, and harmful actions of JVP. The report highlights JVP’s role in fueling antisemitism, partnering with groups connected to terrorism, and undermining efforts to achieve genuine peace between Israelis and Palestinians. JVP’s collaboration with Samidoun, an organization sanctioned by the U.S. and Canada for funding terrorism, is among the many disturbing facts exposed in the report.
“JVP’s harmful rhetoric and alliances make it clear they are not a voice for peace. This organization fuels hate and shields extremists from accountability, while doing nothing to bring about peaceful coexistence.” said Roz Rothstein, StandWithUs Co-Founder and CEO. “To help fight rising antisemitism, the public, media, and leaders across our society must finally recognize JVP’s dangerous agenda and reject it.”
The report provides detailed evidence about how JVP:
Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) positions itself as a representative of Jews who advocate for peace and human rights. However, the StandWithUs report provides extensive evidence showing how JVP’s campaigns to eliminate Israel only fuel more hatred and conflict. It makes clear that JVP represents a very small minority of Jews, while the vast majority remain connected to Israel and see efforts to end its existence as an antisemitic threat. The extremist agenda of JVP and its allies must be rejected by all people who oppose hate and want peace for Israelis and Palestinians.
