Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) (קול יהודי לשלום Kol Yehudi la-Shalom) is a United States Jewish organization which describes itself as a diverse and democratic community of activists inspired by Jewish tradition to work together for peace, social justice, and human rights support the aspirations of Israelis and Palestinians for security and self-determination. JVP seeks an end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem and opposes Israel Defence Forces operations in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and supports Israeli refuseniks. In June of 2010, JVP launched a divestment campaign to get the pension fund TIAA-CREF to stop investing in companies that profit from the Israeli occupation.
