| E1-i | The JVP are a voice not for peace, but for an endless war against Israel.  Many are insincere converts or hipsters using a "cafeteria" form of Judaism as cover for their practice of Queer liberation or Atheism.  Other were raised in the reform movement and have found it wanting - perhaps because it practices the religion of American pragmatism (a la Dewey) and the Democratic party platform, and promotes a fraudulent form of mere ethno-nationalist pseudo-zionism as a replacement for the Sinai covenant.  But instead of repenting and returning to Judaism with true teshuvah, these ex-reform Jews, who were already like their parents "cut off from the covenant", have decided to join an alternate religion or political cult incompatible with Judaism.  Unlike Jeremiah they have rejected the Sinai covenant, but more like Christianity, Islam, Mormonism and others, they seek to merely culturally appropriate Jewish texts, rituals, and symbols and creatively redeploy them for anti-Jewish purposes of [[wp>supercession]] and replacement. See also: [[open letter to uo#who speaks for the jews]]. | E1-p | Consider JVP our token Jews, and we are permitted to tokenize them to demonstrate that although we hate Judaism as a political and religious system, we are not racist anti-semites.  |
| E1-i | Conversion and denial of the covenant is often coping mechanism to dealing with epistemic anti-Jewish violence and social pressure, or with the other personal problems that this engenders.  As persons who have suffered from the Jew-hate that is systemic in the western tradition, JVP members deserve compassion.  But as victim co-perpetrators of that Jew-hatred, the JVP now has characteristics of a hate group.  Aimed at secular Arab supremacism instead of at white supremacism.  Instead of militant Islam or Christianity, they seem to employ militant atheism, anarchism, queer liberation, and/or Marxist-Leninism, which are also incompatible with Judaism.  | E1-p | The JVP such can represent a legitimate albeit minority Jewish political philosophy. |
