Our Political Platform
Jewish Voice for Peace is a diverse and democratic community of activists inspired by Jewish tradition to work together for peace, social justice, and human rights. We support the aspirations of Israelis and Palestinians for security and self-determination.
We seek:
-
A U.S. foreign policy based on promoting peace, democracy, human rights, and respect for international law.
-
An end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem.
-
A resolution of the Palestinian refugee problem consistent with international law and equity.
-
An end to all violence against civilians.
-
Peace among the peoples of the Middle East.
We are among the many American Jews who say to the U.S. and Israeli governments: “Not in our names!”
JVP supports peace activists in Palestine and Israel, and works in broad coalition with other Jewish, Arab-American, faith-based, peace and social justice organizations.
