As I explained here, that rally featured calls for violence against Jews worldwide, and for the total destruction of Israel, which would almost certainly result in a new genocide of the Jews. But for Jewish Voice for Peace, Leftism is their religion and ethnicity, and so this is fine.
“Jewish Voice for Peace linked to anti-Israel ‘intifada rally’ in Brooklyn,” JNS, August 4, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
(August 4, 2021 / JNS) The anti-Israel group Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) supported a pro-Palestinian rally in Brooklyn, N.Y., over the weekend where hundreds of protestors glorified uprisings against Israel.
In an Instagram story by StopAntisemitism.org and later shared on Twitter, the New York chapter of JVP posted a photo from the rally on Saturday and thanked the Palestinian-led community organization Within Our Lifetime (WOL) for organizing the “powerful” demonstration.
The rally was held in the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn. Protesters waved Palestinian flags while chanting “Free Palestine,” “There is only one solution: Intifada revolution” and “We don’t want no two states, we want all of it”—a reference to the proposed two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
Rally-goers marched behind three large banners that read “Globalize the intifada,” “Zionism is terrorism” and “We will free Palestine within our lifetime.” Other slogans included, “If we don’t get no justice, then they don’t get no peace,” “Mobilize the intifada” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
WOL said on its website that the need to “globalize the intifada comes from the urgent need to defend our lands, resist our oppressors and break free from the genocidal grip of U.S. imperialism and Zionism.”
The organization said it has planned “actions every week” until Sept. 17, which will be “a peak day of action across New York City and beyond.”

Robert Spencer explains the mindset of globalism which totally repudiates nationality: ” But for Jewish Voice for Peace, Leftism is their religion and ethnicity, and so this is fine.”
What RS calls ‘Leftism’, I would call ‘globalism’. I think this new religion of ‘globalism’ is not so much ‘leftist’ or ‘socialist’, but it is more properly FASCIST. Fascism is the alliance between authoritarianism and corporate oligarchs.
Amazon, Twitter, Google, and Facebook are co-conspirators in a fascist-politico-capitalist cabal that wants to rule the United States without freedom of expression and without free and fair elections.

Hear! Hear! It is gratifying to hear the voice of reason . Well done mortimer!

Yes I think you are on the money Mortimer, but the intriguing thing about the lefty mindset is who in the end picks up the tab?
If the and game is to dismantle economic structure based on nation states who then has legitimate currency to finance the new world order if most of the world no longer contribute to any particular one.
Or do they think a utopian world government with a legitimate financial structure will emerge out of the chaos of the lowest common denominator automatically?

I had posted this comment in response to an earlier news in Jihad watch. The comment is relevant for the present news as well.
I appeal to my dear friends and citizens in the US – Europe (West) to heed to lessons that can be drawn from what is happening in India. The way – over the last 100 years or so – the Hindu elite has been obsessed with “Political correctness” pandering to the narratives of the Left-Islamists combine. It continues till date. The result is catastrophic. A hundred years ago, immediately after the fall of the caliphate in Turkey, the Indian Jihadists took upon themselves to work on the Caliphate movement by the name of the “Khilaphat” Movement. Obsessed by Political correctness, Gandhi played along with the jihadists. Soon thereafter in August 1921, came the massacre of tens of thousands of Hindus and Christians at the hands of Jihadists. Gandhi appealed to the Hindus for calm and declared that the “poor misguided” muslims were only doing what they felt their religion required of them !! The criminals were purged of any accountability for their murder and rape.
Thereafter, the Left and Islamist combine embarked upon an elaborate exercise aimed at glossing over the murder, loot, rape and vandalism of almost 80 million Hindus by successive jihadists in the middle ages. Accounts of these massacres, that are proudly written by the jihadists themselves, were taken off from the History books in schools. A brand of secularism that entailed a one sided tolerance was propounded and is followed till date. This involves undermining or glossing over the destruction of the rich culture of the Hindus by the Jihadists. The result is that an echo – system is in place in which if any person narrates any appreciation for any of the Indic Faith religions, the Left – Islamist combine pounce on such person and brand the person as a Fascist. Laws have been put in place that promote Islam, its teaching and practices while other Indic cultures are mute spectators to desecration of all property and values that they stand for. The Leftists have a stranglehold of the media narrative. It all seems to be a hopeless situation.
There is little that the Government in power can do as it too is wary of the “islamophobe” branding for any step it takes. Muslims are armed – others not and lack the killer mentality that is ingrained in the psyche of the jihadists. To me it seems that India is doomed.
I appeal to you all in the West – shed this charade of Islamophobea. Your situation is still not so bad and can be reversed. The jihadists are still far from overwhelming you – but if you continue with the charade of “political correctness” and do not ensure that a spade is called a spade and dealt with appropriately, all that humankind has achieved till date would be lost: and for what: NOTHING. They are just followers of a killer cult and the Koran and the Hadees contain code of conduct for rapists, murderers, plunderers and the like.

Good to have a little humor mixed in. I am sure George and Ira wouldn’t mind. It is hard to read about evil every day.
Obviously, the organization of JVP is a faux defender of Israel. I have witnessed that sort of thing on a college campus, a Muslim pretending to be an Israeli giving lecture to the audience about the ills that Israel put on the Palestinians. We have several Muslim professors in our local State college.

Mortimer: If one looks at them side by side there is little difference between them. Both authoritarian, both intolerant for anything in opposition to dogma, both had their secret police, both had their camps for dissidents. Nazism in Germany, USSR in the gulags, both intent on world domination by any means. The only big difference was the Holocaust, though USSR did persecute its Jews. These JINOS in USA are beyond belief. Hitler gained power because the Germans were fearful of a Communist revolution. Perhaps the Jews in USA support the left because they fear a Right wing revolution, although Trump did more for Israel and the Jews than any previous POTUS.
Rarely says
There is no such animal as a JINO unless, of course, a non-Jew takes on a Jewish name. BTW the vast majority of Jewish Americans do not support Jewish Voice for Peace.

Jewish Voice for Peace linked to pro-jihad anti-Israel ‘intifada’ rally in Brooklyn
…………..
Suicidal insanity. The destruction of Israel and the slaughter of her people has *nothing* to do with peace.
“Jewish Voice for Peace” is pro-BDS and is for the “Palestinian Right of Return”–both of which seek the full destruction of Israel. They have worked with “Palesinian” terrorists before–in 2017 they invited Rasmea Odeh, a former PFLP member convicted in the 1969 Jerusalem supermarket bombing that killed Israelis Edward Joffee and Leon Kanner, as a featured speaker in its biennial conference.

They must be suffering from a version of Stockholm syndrome; either that or they are living in denial of reality.
Roland says
Psychiatrist Kenneth Levin wrote a book entitled “The Oslo Syndrome: Delusions of a People Under Siege”. He argues that Jews, like abused children in no-win situations, seek to appease their oppressors. But there is must be something additionally malevalent about such JVP Advisory Board members as Judith Butler, Noam Chomsky, and Tony Kushner. JVP receives substantial contributions from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
Infidel says
I look forward to Rarely explaining how this ‘Jewish Voice for Peace’ ain’t Judeophobic
Rarely says
“Judeophobic” ?? Fear of Jews?
Jewish Voice for Peace is clearly a troublesome and unwelcome group but they are hardly representative of the vast majority of diaspora’s Jews.
Infidel says
I don’t use the term ‘anti-Semitic’ b’cos the smartasses out there will immediately point out the small fact of Arabs being Semites.
Judeophobia is a more legitimate term than ‘islamophobia’, since it indicates the irrational fear (and hatred) of Jews. And JINO is a perfect term for Jews who do endorse Judeophobia – such as people like Stanley Cohen (lawyer for Hamas), Noam Chomsky, Richard Stallman, and several others whose names escape me at the moment. Debbie Schlussel has covered this trend in the past in great detail
Rarely says
You can use the tern “anti-Semitic” since anyone with a measurable IQ will know what you are talking about.
Just as there are Catholics who are anti-Catholic (CINO?) etc. there are Jews who are anti-Semitic. Weird though. They should not be confused with Jews who do hold unpopular (and unexpected).opinions.
There are Christian sects that oppose war under any circumstances including self-defense, preferring to “turn the other cheek”. I suppose you would call them “Christians in name only” notwithstanding their insistence that they are being literal.
My point: by using derogatory terms to described individuals or groups, effectively stereotyping them, one exposes one’s own bigotry.
Infidel says
It’s one thing for a Jew to disagree w/ Israeli policies, such as, say, mandatory universal vaccinations. It’s another thing for a Jew to insist that Israel be flexible in negotiation w/ muslim neighbors who are theologically required to want them destroyed.. The latter group are either deluded, or malevolent. Given the typical Leftist stances of this group, I tend to assume the latter – that they’re malevolent. In which case, the term used is certainly not derogatory
And yeah, I am bigoted. Not against Jews or Christians, but certainly against Leftists, Chicoms and muslims. And all their fellow travellers

I think we’ve found where the left hand side of the Jewish Bell Curve live.

The sad thing is, anti-Semites will use this against Jews in general. They will often point out a few globalist and leftist Jews as if all Jews are out to “get us”. NO, leftism is just a weird and suicidal cult and there are plenty of them. Here in my own country, Denmark, I’ve met them all my life. I probably encountered a Jewish leftist now and then, but almost all of them were what we call “pæredanske”, that is 100% Danish. Yet they seem Hell-bent on destroying their own country. It’s just a strange phenomenon, but that’s the way cults are..
T. Flodur says
The Jewish voice for peace is (according to the JVP’s website) represented or supported by figures such as Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – Need further explanations?
JOEYN says
‘Jewish Voice For Peace’ seems to be something similar to quite a number of RINOS in the Republican party. They are actually Lefties who have infiltrated the Republican party to corrupt it.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
The overarching issue here is energy. The Russians and Arab oil producing countries know this. After all, where would their economies be without oil and natural gas.
It is no coincidence that the Arabs, who were once so vehemently opposed to the State of Israel, are now seeking to join with them in collaborative enterprises and at the same time distance themselves from the canard that is the “Nation of Palestine.”
Russia is in its death throes, losing 350,000
citizens each year due to alcoholism and an aging population. Their only hope of sustainability is the gas pipeline expedited by our president, Mr. McGoo. The Arabs are also facing a precipice. Their only hope is to diversify their oil profits before the world perceives oil as a stranded asset. The Arab money that once fueled the spread of Wahabiism and anti-Israel sentiment is quickly drying up. All of the rogue nations, including Pakistan and Turkey, are late to the party. They are singing a song their hosts no longer want to sing, let alone be identified with.

Sasdly, I think that assuming that most Muslims are now pragmatic and have given up hating Jews is rather too optimistic.
