Join L.A. Jews & Allies At The Mass Action For Ceasefire

Date: Nov. 15, 2023

Organizers: INN LA, JVP LA

Location: 6780 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028

Organizers held the event in support of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement. The movement's demands would result in Israel's destruction. Within hours of the October 7, 2023, terror attacks, the BDS movement renewed its call for an anti-Israel boycott.

Activists at the event held an IfNotNow (INN) banner that said: "JEWS SAY CEASEFIRE NOW! NO GENOCIDE IN OUR NAME."

The term “genocide” was coined in 1942 and first used at the Nuremberg Trials of Nazi war criminals. Since Israel's founding in 1948, anti-Israel activists have accused Israel of "genocide" in an attempt to compare Jews to Nazis and delegitimize the creation of a Jewish state in the Land of Israel.

The slogan "Not in Our Name" is used by far-left Jewish groups like Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) that reject Israel's existence. The slogan is meant to emphasize their opposition to Israeli policy and that Israel does not speak for them.
