Jewish Voice for Peace on the Issues

Statement on Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions, 2015

“The Only Recognizable Feature of Hope Is Action” *

Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) endorses the call from Palestinian civil society for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) as part of our work for freedom, justice and equality for all people. We believe that the time-honored, non-violent tools proposed by the BDS call provide powerful opportunities to make that vision real.

We join with communities of conscience around the world in supporting Palestinians, who call for BDS until the Israeli government:

Ends its occupation and colonization of all Arab lands occupied in June 1967 and dismantles the Wall; recognizes the fundamental rights of the Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality; and respects, protects and promotes the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN Resolution 194.

• One State or Two? A Jewish Voice for Peace position paper, January 2007
• Jewish Voice for Peace Statement on Peace, U.S. Military Aid and Israel, 2004
• Jewish Voice for Peace Statement on the Boycott of Israeli Goods, April 2003

Bad Cop Versus Cell Phone

It’s time.

In this moment, we have a huge opportunity as a country to demand real reform of how policing happens – which currently involves excessive use of force, racial profiling, and the murder of innocent Americans. And, disproportionately, of unarmed black Americans. In our country young black males are 21 times more likely to be killed by cops than their white counterparts.
