Opinions and Stances
JVP opposes the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. It has published articles criticizing what it describes as the "severe human-rights violations that Israel engages in every day," such as the construction of the Israeli West Bank barrier on Palestinian land, the blockade of the Gaza Strip, and military operations in Gaza and the West Bank. While calling for an end to the occupation, it has not endorsed a particular solution to the conflict, saying it "endorses neither a one-state solution, nor a two-state solution."
Jewish Voice for Peace supported the Free Gaza Movement until October 2012, when the movement's founder, Greta Berlin, was accused of antisemitism.

Famous quotes containing the word opinions:
“Most advice on child-rearing is sought in the hope that it will confirm our prior convictions. If the parent had wished to proceed in a certain way but was made insecure by opposing opinions of neighbors, friends, or relatives, then it gives him great comfort to find his ideas seconded by an expert.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
