"Jews for Peace in Palestine and Israel (JPPI) is a group of American Jews who believe that a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in Palestine and Israel is attainable through negotiations based on international law and the implementation of relevant United Nations (UN) resolutions. We believe that as Jews outside of Israel, we have both a right and obligation to speak out in favor of an Israel that pursues peaceful, ethical, just, and democratic policies. "

The following ratings are based on point system designed by the organization. Points were assigned for actions either in support of or in opposition to the organization's position.

1. I went to one of their rallies in SF

2. I can't load their jppi.org website page

I'd really like to know what their point system is about. The vote-smart page just lists the total score for each congress-critter.

I guess they think we'll be content with their numbers.

I did load their cumulative data into a spreadsheet. Some prelim data:

Only 68 out of 478 had a score of 0 or above. 12 of those were R's, 2 were I's and 54 were D's. (I assume this means pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel). That's only 14% of congress which is gratifying - but I'm disappointed to see that 80% of those were D's.

421 (88%) had a score of 0 or below. (I assume this means anti-Palestinian, pro-Israel)

3. Try again

Maybe later or if you wish for more detailed and personal info give a call.

"JPPI is a Washington, D.C.-based group of American Jews who believe that a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in Palestine and Israel is attainable through negotiations based on international law and the implementation of relevant United Nations (UN) resolutions. Israel claims to speak on behalf of world Jewry through its policies and actions. Therefore, we believe that as Jews outside of Israel, we have both a right and obligation to speak out in favor of an Israel that pursues a reconciliatory, ethical, just, and democratic path both in its domestic and foreign policies. http://www.jppi.org"

6. really?

what link are you using?

On edit: Is it "jppi" you can access?

[Scurrilous]

7. You can access "jppi?"

4. Can't get it to load either...

...the only thing I see are the same things 'c-n-p'ed by the OP. It is possible there is a server issue with that group. It happens sometimes.

On edit: Then again, maybe things aren't what they seem. Rabbit holes!

9. Still no ability to load page. 7:00 AM Sunday n/t

[Behind the Aegis]

10. Me either.

Maybe they don't exist anymore at that website. Godaddy has it listed and registered to someone in Poland. The phone number is a DC cell phone number. Of course, I don't understand why the OP was even posted as it was not based on a recent article, and it isn't even current (2-3 years old). Have you tried the email? I did, but haven't got anything back, as of yet.
