Jewish Voice for a Just Peace in the Middle East supports the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement that is designed to ensure respect for the human rights of the Palestinian people in equal measure with Jewish Israelis.

Right-wing politicians tried to prevent the Roland Röhl Foundation, an organization that promotes conflict and peace research, from giving the prize to the Jewish Voice for a Just Peace in the Middle East group. The Central Council of Jews in Germany classified Jewish Voice as an “antisemitic association.”
