Jewish Voice for Peace chapters call for a withdrawal of Israeli troops, an end to the bombing, and an end to the Israeli occupation

July 17, 2014—Deeply concerned Jews across the US are organizing in solidarity with Palestinians to call for an end to the devastating assault on Gaza. Since July 7, Israel has killed upwards of 220 Palestinians in Gaza, nearly 80% of whom were civilians including 44 children. In a coordinated effort in cities across the US, Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) chapters have organized street protests, demonstrations and civil disobedience actions to call for an end to the invasion, an end to the bombing, and an end to the ongoing occupation of Palestine.
