JVP has come under criticism from other Jewish groups that perceive the movement as radical and feel that it gives cover to antisemitic groups by allowing them to claim the support of the Jewish community, or that it employs antisemitic rhetoric and imagery itself.[15][62][64][81] In particular, the group has run afoul of the Anti-Defamation League, which in 2010 named it one of the top ten anti-Israel groups.[49][50][55][56] Some Jewish organizations have declined to associate with the group because of its association with the BDS movement and other anti-Israel groups.[52][60][63][68]

Others within the Jewish community have been uncomfortable with some organizations’ unwillingness to associate with JVP.[61] According to political scientist Dov Waxman, the anger which JVP's actions and positions arouse in many other American Jewish groups is just one index of a broader polarizing controversy within the Jewish American community at large, whose leaders had hitherto managed to shut out internal disagreements from the public purview.[48] Historian Mark LeVine has described the rise of JVP as emblematic of a "generational shift" among Jews, in which younger Jews increasingly see opposition to Israel’s treatment of Palestinians as a continuation of the Jewish legacy of civil rights advocacy.[66] Peter Beinart similarly observed that younger Jews were more likely to question Israel’s right to exist in response to its policies, unlike previous generations who are more likely to “distinguish between what Israel does and what Israel is.”[1] Nadia Hijab has described JVP as a "key player" in a in the Palestinian rights movement within the U.S. She wrote that J Street is "larger and better-funded" but JVP is "a real magnet for American Jews” who are critical of Israel’s policies and don’t feel represented by the state.[67]

In September 2013, the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship awarded JVP its Peaceseeker Award, noting that the fellowship "celebrates their work of nonviolence in the face of violence."[65]

In 2017, JVP was criticized for inviting Rasmea Odeh, a former PFLP member convicted by Israeli military courts for her role in the 1969 Jerusalem supermarket bombing that killed Israelis Edward Joffee and Leon Kanner, as a featured speaker in its biennial conference.[70][71][72]

Following the 10/7 attacks by Hamas against Israel, JVP saw a huge increase in interest, as it became one of the leading organizations advocating for a ceasefire. They received significant news coverage, both for their demonstrations and for giving voice to underrepresented perspectives within the Jewish community. [2] [3] [4] They staged a number of high-profile actions, including occupying the Capitol Rotunda, protesting at the Statue of Liberty, shutting down transit stations, and blocking freeways across the country. [5] The organization faced some backlash from Jewish organizations and faced suspension on some college campuses who felt the organization's rhetoric was inflammatory.[6] [7][8]
