Jewish Voice for Peace

*"Ta-Nehisi Coates' willingness to honestly examine and speak about what he witnessed in Palestine demonstrates the kind of moral courage we need more of in public discourse."*

*"Thank you to John Oliver for using his platform to highlight the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and for speaking truth to power about Israel's disproportionate response."*

*"We appreciate Dr. West's moral clarity in recognizing that the root causes of violence lie in decades of occupation and apartheid. Real peace requires addressing these underlying injustices."*

*"We will not let war hawks like Bari Weiss use this tragedy to justify even more violence against Palestinians who have lived under siege and occupation for decades."*

*"Thank you @naomiaklein for using your platform to speak truth about Palestinian liberation. Jewish solidarity with Palestine is both moral and necessary."*

*"Professor Chomsky articulates what many Jewish critics of Israeli policy experience - being labeled antisemitic for opposing policies we believe contradict Jewish values of justice and human rights."*

*"Thank you @NaomiAKlein for speaking truth. The weaponization of antisemitism to silence criticism of Israeli apartheid and support for Palestinian freedom is a well-documented tactic that must end."*

*"Bill Maher's comments are a dangerous distortion of the reality facing Palestinians under Israeli apartheid and occupation."*

*"While we appreciate acknowledgment of Palestinian civilian deaths, framing this as 'both sides' needing de-escalation ignores the fundamental power imbalance and decades of occupation."*

*"Thank you @AnaKasparian for speaking truthfully about what Palestinians are experiencing. More journalists need to report accurately on these human rights violations."*

*"Standing with Jewish people means standing against all forms of oppression, including the oppression of Palestinians."*

*"The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute's shameful decision to rescind Angela Davis' award represents a chilling attack on Palestinian solidarity and a betrayal of the Black freedom struggle's legacy of internationalism."*

*"We applaud Professor Butler for articulating what many Jews feel - that our Jewish values compel us to speak out against injustice, including Israeli policies toward Palestinians."*

*"We appreciate Jon Stewart's willingness to acknowledge the disproportionate nature of Israel's military response, even while we wish he would go further in condemning the collective punishment of Palestinian civilians."*
