The Academic Council of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) condemns the American Historical Association (AHA) Executive Committee’s outrageous and unprecedented sabotage of its own democratic principles.

Israel is losing American Jews.
A new nationwide poll has found a sea change in American Jewish attitudes about genocide in Gaza, and their relationship to Zionism itself.

Even as international isolation increases for individual genocidaires, the world continues to fail Gaza.

In These Times: “What Organizers Today Can Learn From the Socialist Jewish Labor Bund Movement”
“Dissent persists, especially among the Jews involved in organizations like IfNotNow and Jewish Voice for Peace that have flooded into the streets and set up encampments at college campuses demanding an end to U.S. support for the Israeli government and its war machine.”

1,000 days of genocide.
For 1,000 days, the Israeli military has systematically flattened Gaza — and now south Lebanon — to make it impossible for Palestinians and Lebanese to return to their homes.

The Intercept: “Abdul El-Sayed Becomes First Senate Candidate Backed by Pro-Palestine Jewish Group”
“Abdul has been a stalwart and unapologetic defender of Palestinian rights and freedom, and his campaign has demonstrated a moral consistency that centers justice and equality for all people.

7 victories against a rampaging Israel.
At the United Auto Workers labor union’s Constitutional Convention on Thursday, around 1,000 delegates voted in favor of divestment of all UAW funds from Israel Bonds.

Al Jazeera: “‘Not in my name.’: The Jewish communities fighting the consensus on Israel”
“For far too long, American Jewish institutions have supported the actions of the Israeli government and parroted its justification that what it did was done for the sake of Jewish people everywhere. In doing so, they not only engineered support for the Israeli occupation, apartheid and genocide of Palestinians, but they also silenced and excluded Jews who opposed these actions, or tried to hold the Israeli state accountable for its war crimes.”
