Jewish Voice for Peace congratulates Palestinian poet and author Mosab Abu Toha on winning a Pulitzer Prize in journalism! On Saturday, May 3rd, Abu Toha spoke at JVP’s National Member Meeting to a crowd of 2,000 Jews.

“Every day,” Mosab Abu Toha said from the stage of the JVP National Member Meeting, “Israel kills a family, burns a baby, bombs a school shelter, a tent, a soup kitchen. Every day, we need to ask ourselves, ‘What did we do to stop this?’’ Israel commits these war crimes every day, and that is why we should do something every day.”

Stefanie Fox, Jewish Voice for Peace Executive Director:

“At a time when the Trump regime is threatening Palestine speech and anti-Palestinian groups are hounding Mosab, Jewish Voice for Peace was deeply honored to welcome Mosab to our National Member Meeting of 2,000 Jews in support of Palestinian liberation. Mosab’s commentary and poetry conveys the powerful resilience of Palestinians, the aching loss of a homeland and the unflinching bravery to look genocide in the eye and not turn away, but instead double down for a future of justice. Jewish Voice for Peace will always stand in solidarity with Mosab and his courageous work.”
