Jews for Justice for Palestinians

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jews for Justice for Palestinians ( German  Jews for Justice for the Palestinians , JfJfP ) is an independent Jewish human rights organization based in London , which has existed since 2003 .

JfJfP is a British network of both practicing and secular Jews, as well as Zionist and Zionist rejecting Jews, who are in opposition to current Israeli government policy. This undermines the livelihoods and the human, civil and political rights of the Palestinians . The group believes peace in the Middle East is possible through mutual respect and restricting Israel to the 1967 borders . Israel should continue to recognize its responsibility for the Palestinian refugee problem and give up East Jerusalem and the illegal settlements in the West Bank .

In mid-2006, the organization collected 1,200 signatures for these goals, including those from 99 professors (four members of the Royal Society , two from the British Association for the Advancement of Science ), 107 post-docs, various persons from the Order of the British Empire and a member of parliament. Have signed u. a. Stephen Fry , Eric Hobsbawm , Mike Leigh , Miriam Margolyes , Harold Pinter , Gillian Slovo , Tom Stoppard and Zoë Wanamaker .

JfJfP is connected to Jewish peace groups worldwide who see the security of Israel and the Jews threatened by what they call the “ Liebermann Way”. Lectures on the end of unilateralism , human rights and Israeli politics will be organized and calls will be published in Haaretz . The group Jewish Students for Justice for Palestinians is affiliated .
