You can become a member of Jewish Voices for Peace for as little as $18 a year.
You don't have to be Jewish.
This seems to be attempting to tear down an org that is trying to do the right thing?
Tear down how? I'm a member.
If a lot of non-Jewish people become members, critics could argue that the organisation isn't really "Jewish" voices for peace.
Critics can argue whatever they want.
How do you prove the members are Jews?
I don't know, but the critics won't be the ones to have to do so. They can point towards comments like yours suggesting that non-Jewish people should become members to begin claiming it's a "fake" Jewish org. This sows distrust in the organisation.
At least, that is what I think the other commenter meant. I don't care who becomes a member myself.
Well until those critics find a way to determine who is or is not a Jew based on that person joining any organization, good luck to them.
Labelling someone as a critic when they make an observation is very othering.
I am not the one who initially used that word.
