The Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV), representing over 1,500 traditional rabbis in matters of public policy, Tuesday condemned Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) for its disinformation campaign designed to cover for modern anti-Semitic hatred. Most recently, JVP Action announced an upcoming webinar with several co-sponsors, featuring well-known activists purportedly speaking on “Dismantling anti-Semitism, Winning Justice.” None of the panelists are scholars of anti-Semitism; all are guilty of spreading it.

The National Council of Young Israel (NCYI) last Thursday strongly praised Secretary of State Mike Pompeo after he announced during a trip to Israel that the United States would classify the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, which he called a “cancer,” as anti-Semitic and would “immediately take steps to identify organizations that engage in hateful BDS conduct and withdraw US government support for such groups.”
