Since it's founding in 1996, Jewish Voice for Peace has advocated for Palestinian freedom and an end to Israeli occupation, apartheid and war. In early May, JVP held its first national meeting since 2017. Some 2,000 members attended the national meeting in Baltimore, which JVP said was the largest gathering of anti-Zionist Jews in history. The convention drew well-known figures including Angela Davis, writer Naomi Klein, Congressman Rashida Tlaib, journalist Amy Goodman and others to discuss and organize how to end U.S. support for the ongoing genocide in Gaza in the face of increasing government repression. This episode airs some of the speeches from that meeting. It includes remarks by Stephanie Fox, executive director of JVP, and Dr. Thaer Ahmad, a board-certified emergency medicine physician at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Chicago who has provided emergency care to wounded patients in Gaza.
