Jewish Voice for Peace Targets Baltimore: Local Jewish Community Stands Firm in Opposition!
We, the undersigned members of the Baltimore Jewish community, are writing to express our deep concern over the upcoming national membership meeting of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), scheduled to take place in our city beginning May 1.
JVP is an extremist group that weaponizes the Jewish identity of some of their members to call for “death to Israel” and tout a “Free Palestine by any means necessary.”
The overwhelming majority of Jews support the existence and security of the State of Israel as the national homeland of the Jewish people. Polling consistently shows that more than 85 percent of Jewish Americans support Israel’s right to exist and defend itself. JVP’s relentless anti-Zionist rhetoric, which calls for the elimination of Israel as a Jewish state, represents a fringe view that is rejected by the community.
We believe in the right of Israel to exist, and we reject any movement that seeks to undermine its legitimacy or security.
As Jewish Voice for Peace’s national membership meeting comes to our city, we hope that elected officials, members of the media and everyday Baltimoreans will recognize that JVP is a token organization that exists to sell the public a false narrative that Jews oppose Israel’s existence.
We, the undersigned members of the Baltimore Jewish community, affirm that JVP does not represent us. Their agenda is the fringe of the fringe, and we, as a community, are clear that this ideology carries no weight in Baltimore.
To learn more about Jewish Voice Peace, see background information from The Jewish Majority, StandWithUs, the American Jewish Committee, and the Anti-Defamation League.
