Vivien Lichtenstein on Jews for Justice for Palestinians



Jews for Justice for Palestinians believe that:

+ Peace in the Middle East will only come about with mutual recognition and respect and must be seen as just by both sides.

+ Peace requires the end of illegal occupation and settlement.

+ Violence against civilians is unacceptable.

+ Israel’s policies in the West Bank and Gaza are breeding hatred and resentment.

+ It is crucial that Jews speak out for Palestinians’ human rights.

+ The humanitarian values of Judaism have been corrupted by the Israeli state’s human-rights abuses.

+ A lasting peace must be seen as just by both sides.

+ Britain, the EU, the USA, Russia and the UN must be persuaded to implement UN resolutions on Palestine.

If you agree then link up with over one thousand six hundred other Jews in Britain who make up Jews for Justice for Palestinians

The Torah teaches: ‘Justice, justice, you shall pursue’ (Deuteronomy 16:20).

To secure a lasting settlement to the conflict between Palestinians and Israelis so they can live in peace and security, thrive side by side, and co-operate together, Jews today are obligated to pursue justice on behalf of both peoples.”
