Report highlights JVP’s ‘extremist ideology,’ terrorist connections

Jewish Voice for Peace is “doing nothing to bring about peaceful coexistence,” the co-founder and CEO of StandWithUs said.

A new booklet from StandWithUs seeks to expose Jewish Voice for Peace and the “extremist” rhetoric, harmful alliances and antisemitic actions the group utilizes.

The opening executive summary of the 36-page report released on Tuesday stated that JVP’s “primary goal is to dismantle the State of Israel.”

“JVP and its allies slander and dehumanize Israelis as privileged, powerful and racist white European colonizers,” the report stated. “They promote dangerous conspiracy theories tying Israelis to injustices against various communities” around the world.

The report also highlights JVP’s backing of terrorist organizations and their supporters, including the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and Samidoun, which the U.S. and Canadian governments have sanctioned for its fundraising efforts for PFLP. JVP co-hosted the rally “Shut It Down for Palestine” with Samidoun’s local branch and endorsed the organization’s “Free Ahmad Sa’adat” campaign.

StandWithUs also accuses JVP of not being financially transparent while maintaining what the report calls “questionable sources of funding,” identified as foundations with ties to Lebanon and Iran, such as the Maximum Difference Foundation, the Violet Jabara Charitable Trust and the Halaby Family Foundation.

“JVP’s harmful rhetoric and alliances make it clear they are not a voice for peace,” StandWithUs CEO Roz Rothstein said. “This organization fuels hate and shields extremists from accountability while doing nothing to bring about peaceful coexistence.”

“To help fight rising antisemitism, the public, media and leaders across our society must finally recognize JVP’s dangerous agenda and reject it,” she said.
