JVP and If Not Now

[ohgillian]

Is anyone willing to try to have a discussion unpack If Not Now and Jewish Voice for Peace a little bit? I understand that they are extremely controversial – – I have seen multiple Jewish personal friends on social media call them racist and a shonda (basically a shame) and self-loathing Jews. All of those are actual things said by actual people I know.

I also know a fair # of Palestinians who have been involved with JVP for several years now. These are non- racist, not antisemitic people I know very well.

Honestly, I don’t even feel like asking anyone in my real life and just getting ganged up on. I’d rather get ganged up on here. Ha. Seriously though, I would love to discuss this group and these movements a bit.

I’m about to jump on a call, so if somebody responds immediately I will not be able to reply right away.
