Jewish peace activists in the United States, led by organizations like Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow, are calling for an immediate ceasefire and justice for Palestinians amid the ongoing Israeli siege and bombing campaign in Gaza. Thousands of Jews and allies have marched on Capitol Hill, demanding an end to the violence and an end to US aid to Israel. The activists argue that more civilian deaths will not solve the conflict and emphasize the need for a just and peaceful resolution. They face criticism from pro-Israel groups, but maintain that their advocacy is not anti-Zionist but anti-occupation. The activists are mobilizing through civil actions, digital media, and engagement with elected officials and news organizations.
