Galleys available. A built-in audience via JVP membership and their allies in the Palestine solidarity movement, who will encourage members and networks to buy the book for discussion groups and as a tool for academic and activist work. Contributors are geographically dispersed across the country, and will speak at nearby book events held in bookstores, by local JVP chapters, and others. This book will find an audience in academia, in activist circles, and in progressive religious networks. JVP’s marketing reach is already well-established (the JVP-produced/directed “Israel/Palestine 101” animated video has nearly 1 million views on Youtube, over 100k views on Facebook, and over a million more views on channels where it was uploaded elsewhere). A direct e-mail marketing campaign is planned, to the 220,000 supporters on the JVP mail list, and to highly trafficked social media channels: Twitter (45k plus followers); Facebook (265 k plus followers, >3 million weekly reach); YouTube channel (1.6 million+ views and over 5k subscribers). JVP will heavily promote three chapters on their website.

When the State of Israel claims to represent all Jewish people, defenders of Israeli policy redefine antisemitism to include criticism of Israel. Antisemitism is harmful and real in our society. What must also be addressed is how the deployment of false charges of antisemitism or redefining antisemitism can suppress the global progressive fight for justice. There is no one definitive voice on antisemitism and its impact. Jewish Voice for Peace has curated a collection of essays that provides a diversity of perspectives and standpoints.
