leaders (watch the *dramatic - and disturbing - video

November 8, 2010
Young Jews challenge leadership at the Jewish Federation General Assembly in
New Orleans. They disrupted Prime Minister Netanyahu's speech to say:
"Israel's actions delegitimize it, not those working to put an end to its
violations of international law.

They shouted: "The Loyalty Oath delegitimizes Israel!"(gets taken out by
security)
"The occupation delegitimizes Israel!" (gets taken out by security)
"Settlements betray Jewish values!" (gets taken out by security)
"The siege of Gaza delegitimizes Israel!"
"I am a Jew, and you delegitimize me!"
"Silencing dissent delegitimizes Israel!"

 Dear Karen,

The last few weeks - months, really - have been incredible, challenging,
exciting and daunting for Jewish Voice for Peace.  I just can't think of a
time when your support and participation have mattered more to us. So, thank
you - and thank you for continuing to stick with us in the months ahead.
 The biggest news continues to be what happened in New Orleans last week and
since. As you may already know, our Young, Jewish, and Proud leaders made
headlines around the world when they disrupted Israel Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu's speech at the country's largest gathering of Jewish
leaders (watch the *dramatic - and disturbing - video
here<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=nGovSw4U6AGTr8C2wy5r8xQJ5eqv3dTM>
*).

 We knew that this action would be big, but the attention our young leaders
and Jewish Voice for Peace have garnered has been overwhelming. We have
struck a nerve among Jews everywhere and among people who care about human
rights. Many who tried their best to ignore JVP before are paying attention
now - and that attention brings unique challenges to our lean organization.
You can help (and I hope you will) by *signing our letter of support for our
young leaders<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=jmYMoBaiRAvm9zCteb6x5hQJ5eqv3dTM>
**<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ayAqfuUoyT8IGUsF3y7xAhQJ5eqv3dTM>

work<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=UckfSBxUXmjoJYqxaoyGHRQJ5eqv3dTM>
**<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=X8j%2FBb4uiU1l6zDiRxsR0GvRyWBu07cq>
**.* Both actions matter.
*
We'll keep you posted about what's next, and thank you so much for making
all this work possible. *

In solidarity and gratitude,



 Rebecca Vilkomerson

*Theater and Film stars support Israeli settlement boycott
** * When 60 Israeli theater artists refused to perform in a new
million-dollar cultural center in one of the largest settlements in the West
Bank, they immediately came under attack from the Israeli government. Jewish
Voice for Peace acted fast, gathering the names of over 250 leading American
theater and performing artists who stood with them in solidarity.
