Re: Jewish Voice of Peace: In quoting this organization on May 25th, Emma B refers to it as "one of the largest Jewish American peace organizations." Well, I don't know what that subjective term means, and I had never previously heard of JVP (which of course is neither here nor there) so I visited their web site this evening.

JVP appears to be a group founded about a dozen years ago, which now has nine chapters in the country which includes three in northern California; it is headquartered in Oakland, CA. From the few pictures I found on their website, their rallies seem to draw rather sparse crowds. In fact, their description of one of their rallies mentions a crowd of 200-300 persons, which I would consider pretty small in todays' world of rallies.

One thing that struck me as a positive position is that JVP seems open to the possibility of a two state solution to the Israel/Palestine problem...although this is not their first option. That is a far more open position from that of many individuals and other organizations which blame Israel first.
