#Jewish Voice for Peace
Text
By Isabel Vincent
The cash from Soros and his acolytes has been critical to the Columbia protests that set off the national copycat demonstrations.
Three groups set up the tent city on Columbia’s lawn last Wednesday: Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and Within Our Lifetime.
At the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” students sleep in tents apparently ordered from Amazon and enjoy delivery pizza, coffee from Dunkin’, free sandwiches worth $12.50 from Pret a Manger, organic tortilla chips and $10 rotisserie chickens.
An analysis by The Post shows that all three got cash from groups linked to Soros. The Rockefeller Brothers Fund also gave cash to JVP.
The fund is chaired by Joseph Pierson, and includes David Rockefeller Jr, a fourth-generation member of the oil dynasty, on its board of directors. The non-profit gives money to “sustainable development” and “peace-building.”
And a former Wall Street banker, Felice Gelman, a retired investment banker who has dedicated her Wall Street fortune to pro-Palestinian causes, funded all three groups.

Both SJP and JVP were expelled from Columbia University in November for “threatening rhetoric and intimidation.” JVP blamed Israel for the Oct 7 Hamas terrorist attack that left 1,200 Israelis dead.
“Israeli apartheid and occupation — and United States complicity in that oppression — are the source of all this violence,” JVP said in a statement on its website.  
SJP called the terrorist strike on Israel “a historic win.”

An analysis by The Post shows how Soros and Gelman’s cash made its way to the students through a network of nonprofits that help obscure their contributions.
Soros has given billions to the Open Society Foundations which his son Alexander — whose partner is Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s top aide and the estranged wife of pervert Anthony Weiner — now controls.
In turn, Open Society has given more than $20 million to the Tides Foundation, a progressive nonprofit “fiscal sponsor” that then sends the cash to smaller groups.
Those groups include A Jewish Voice for Peace, which between 2017 and 2022 has received $650,000 from Soros’ Open Society. Its advisers include the academic Noam Chomsky and the left-wing feminist author Naomi Klein.
JVP has been a prominent part of the protests at Columbia and one of its student members was among a group expelled from the university for inviting the leader of a proscribed terrorist group, Khaled, to the “Resistance 101” Zoom meeting.
Soros has also donated $132,000 to WESPAC, called in full the Westchester People’s Action Coalition Foundation.

Brilliant minds think alike on Gaza
... both Jewish and non-Jewish students, inspired by anti-Apartheid protests in Beinecke Plaza decades earlier, had gathered for a week-long sit-in to demand that Yale divest the portion of its endowment invested in the stocks of military contractors, which make the weapons Israel is currently using in its war with Hamas in Gaza. The students were protesting under the Occupy Beinecke coalition, which includes Yale Jews for Ceasefire, a group of Jewish students dedicated to fighting for a ceasefire in Gaza as well as sustainable peace and equality within the region.

The lesson will be to reject the abuses of force; the abuses of authority; to embrace respect for people's differences and hopefully, a retreat from politicizing or pitting against each other what are ultimately universal values of peace and the betterment of all for all, and get to enjoy them instead. One hopes. There is an awful lot of pain and hatred trying to be implanted at the moment, and it's going to take a superhuman effort to forgive after the madness passes. We will have to rally around the positives and focus towards the future.

"Today marks one year since the death of the People’s Bubbie Shatzi Weisberger. Before she passed, she said, “I’ll fight like hell for a free Palestine until the day I die. Then I’ll keep fighting. Your queer ancestor is with you.”
If you’ve been rising up in solidarity with Palestine these past two months, your queer ancestor is indeed with you, along with countless other antizionist Jewish ancestors. For many, family and community rifts may be especially painful right now. No matter what, you are not alone. Remember that you have a long lineage of elders and ancestors at your back.
Last night, Israel resumed its brutal bombing of Gaza and has already killed dozens of people. Shatzi would encourage all of us to do everything we can right now for a permanent, lasting ceasefire. To mourn the dead and fight like hell for the living.
Shatzi died on World AIDS Day, which was b’sheret ("destined”) because in addition to being a lifelong organizer, she was a nurse for 47 years who cared for people living and dying with AIDS.
From ACT UP’s organizing to end AIDS to the movement for Palestinian freedom, we honor the ancestors and movements who made us possible."
We will be forever grateful to the ancestors who paved the path before us. May their memories fuel us to work towards freedom for all people — no exceptions."

I went to a pro-Palestine protest and I later saw that one of the local newspapers had written about it calling it a “pro-Hamas” rally. I left a lengthy comment on the article telling off the author for journalistic malpractice because not one of speakers at the rally ever said that they supported Hamas. He also conveniently omitted the fact that Jewish Voice for Peace was a major organizer of the event to try and make it seem like every single person at the rally was a Muslim. A few days later, the article got taken down. Keep calling out the mainstream media on their hypocrisy and dishonesty - your advocacy DOES make a difference!

Happening right now in NYC - massive protest, hundreds of arrests at an emergency sit-in calling for an immediate ceasefire (10/27/23)

Hey if anyone's feeling hopeless and helpless about what's going on in Gaza (and the West Bank and the world at large) right now, I HIGHLY recommend Jewish Voice for Peace's daily Power Half Hour calls. They're every weekday over zoom from 3:00-3:30pm EST.
They're open to everyone, regardless of faith and they're really really grounding. Every day we take collective action together and complete easy short action items -- like calling our reps -- together while on the call. I cannot stress enough how much the calls are doing to keep me sane and still able to fight.
The JVP power half hour calls are primarily US-based but there are people tuning in from all over the world and sharing actions and news from their respective countries.
Anyways, you can sign up to be on their email list and receive notifications and invitations to the calls through JVP's website
or you can use this link directly to join the calls every day
you can also watch the livestream of them on youtube here

Chalk another one up for "antisemitism is the fire that forges Horseshoe Theory". With the final mask of the claim of Jewishness falling from "Jewish Voice for Peace", it's become obvious that they're essentially a Left-wing equivalent to Messianic "Judaism".
Both are fundamentally Jew-hating organizations of non-Jews, with a thin veneer of ethnic Jews and twisted/appropriated Jewish ritual practice being used to create a false front of legitimacy. Both have the same disregard and contempt for Jews and Judaism even as they hunger for Jewishness for their own purposes.

Today marks half a year of Palestinian genocide perpetrated by the Israeli and US governments." from Jewish Voice for Peace, 07/Apr/2024:
caption continued under image
Tumblr media
We are in this catastrophe today—with over 33,000 Palestinians killed, the healthcare system in Gaza decimated, almost 2 million Palestinians displaced, and over 1 million Palestinians starving—because our government does not value Palestinian lives.
In the past six months, entire Palestinian lineages were destroyed, families were robbed of precious memories and milestones, and the paintings and words of artists and poets were snuffed out. The effects of six months of this genocide will last generations.
We have reached this horrifying milestone not because of circumstances beyond anyone’s control, but as a result of political decisions. Political decisions made by our government who—rather than listening to millions of Palestinians crying for justice or the majority of Americans who want a ceasefire—is choosing to continue this genocide by sending weapons to the Israeli military.
We do not need to continue down this path of destruction and devastation. The cracks in the US war machine are showing, but not fast enough. We need to keep the pressure up, and keep it high.
We will never stop fighting for a free Palestine, from the river to the sea. We will never forget.
