Jüdische Stimme für gerechten Frieden in Nahost

Jewish Voice for a Just Peace in the Middle East – EJJP Germany e. V. (German: Jüdische Stimme für gerechten Frieden in Nahost, often abbreviated Jüdische Stimme) is a German pro-Palestinian advocacy group, founded in 2003.[1] Jüdische Stimme is one of the highest-profile pro-Palestinian/anti-Zionist groups in Germany.[1] It is the German section of the European umbrella group European Jews for a Just Peace.[1]

In 2019 it was awarded the Göttingen Peace Prize, a decision criticized by the Central Council of Jews in Germany.[2]

Jewish activists with the group, including Adam Broomberg, have been arrested at pro-Palestinian protests.[3][4] Jüdische Stimme also had its bank accounts repeatedly frozen amid accusations that it supports Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) and "demonizes and delegitimizes the Israeli state in particular".[5][6] In its 2024 annual report, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution classified it as a "secular pro-Palestinian extremist" organization.[7]
