Jewish Voice for Peace took credit for distributing thousands of fake and anti-Israel versions of the New York Times in Manhattan and on social media this week.
The organization, which supports the anti-Israel boycott, divestment and sanctions movement (BDS), said in a statement released on Feb. 2 that it had distributed 10,000 copies of the parody, which included such articles as “Congress to Debate U.S. Aid to Israel” and “In the Footsteps of Mandela and King: A Non-Violent Movement Gains Ground Ten Years On,” as well as an editorial, “Our New Editorial Policy: Rethinking Israel-Palestine.”
Members of two groups, Jewish Voice for Peace New York and Jews Say No!, a New York City-based pro-Palestinian organization, created the paper to “point out how biased current reporting is on Israel and Palestine,” Alan Levine, a Just Say No! member and one of its writers, said in a statement.
The New York Times said in a statement, “We’re protective of our brand and other intellectual property and object to this group (or any group’s) attempt to cloak their political views under the banner of the New York Times.” — jta
Apparently “Jewish” Voice for “peace” is hosting an unrepentant Jew-killer at their annual conference. Rasmea Odeh was convicted for setting off a bomb in a Jerusalem grocery store, killed 2 students from Hebrew University. She’ll be a kenote speaker at the JVP conference in chicago. Wanna bet she’s not there to apologize?
Heralding a murderer? Thats abhorrent, even for JVP, an organization that cut its teeth protesting Jewish cultural events
