The Nakba
The events of 1947-9 stand at the root of the conflict. In order to reach a just and comprehensive peace between Israelis and Palestinians, the Nakba must be acknowledged.
Jews from the Middle-East
Middle Eastern Jews are entitled to represent themselves in their concerns for rights and redress, rather than having the state of Israel or the U.S. Congress speak for them.

JVP’s main color is dark green. Whatever you are creating should have this color – it can be the background or the main text color of what you are making. If green is the background, make sure that any text on top is in cream so that it is legible.
JVP’s secondary colors are cream, black, and grey. These colors work well for text – cream on dark backgrounds, black or grey on light backgrounds.
JVP’s accent color is light green. It’s optional, and you can use it as the background color of buttons.
