Letter to the Editor,
In the future, the Georgia General Assembly must not be conned to oppose the IHRA definition of antisemitism by the incredibly misnomer Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP). (“Antisemitism Bill Fails in Georgia Again”).
In 2021, the Simon Weisenthal Center, led by Rabbi Marvin Hier and Rabbi Abraham Cooper, declared “Jewish Voice for Peace” one of the 10 most antisemitic organizations on earth.
On May 1, 2022, Johnathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, declared that Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and CAIR “epitomize the radical Left, the photo inverse of the extreme Right that the ADL has long tracked.”
Mr. Greenblatt continued: “They (JVP, SJP and CAIR) indisputably and unapologetically regularly denigrate and dehumanize Jews.”
The record is clear that JVP is neither for the Jewish people nor for peace.
Richard Sherman, Margate, Fla.
