Factual things I know about Jewish Voice for Peace: They take action for Palestine every day. They organize thousands of people to take action for Palestine every day. They've been doing this for decades. Their staff are in close communication with Palestinians in Palestine. Context that I know: There are millions of antiZionist Jews who are looking for permission to be for Palestine who are relieved to know there are others out there like them (us). Things I don't know: the founder's connecton to the defense industry, whether the founder is still involved with the group, what role you think Mossad has in this.

Anti-Zionist means no more Israel. JVP doesn’t believe in Israel being abolished.

Israel is a Zionist colony. Or are you saying a citation that they believe Israel should exist?

Here is a short article.

This article doesn't say that JVP has a position of saying Israel should exist. It implies that they didn't initially say it shouldn't, but there are three layers of difference between your assertion and what's in the article.

"Israel" is intrinsically a toxic, bigoted, racist, murderous colonial project that has no business existing in 2025. Human beings cannot progress under this kind of premise. It can only lead to conflict and harm.

Anyone who isnt saying this up front, has no credibility as a peace organization. At all.

I’ve never seen them say Israel shouldn’t exist. Many of their members think it should. They don’t take an official stance that I’ve ever heard, which can be left up to interpretation.
