On Sunday night in Berkeley, members of Jewish Voice for Peace displayed all their worst character flaws, and ganged up on a middle-aged handicapped woman.
At least, that's the gist of it, from what I can gather.
On Monday they came out with a press release that clearly suggested narrative collusion after the fact. Possibly they were worried that if it became known that they were bullies and hypocrites, impressionable people might no longer flock to their standard.
A fellow blogger rips their press release here:

[Jewish Voice for Peace and bully tactics]
I asked one of the other attendees of Jewish Voice for Peace's little public boastfest what happened.
She wrote:
"The chairs in the room were arranged in a big circle. We began by introducing ourselves and discussing our plans for Thanksgiving. Lots of JVP'ers are spending Thanksgiving day on Alcatraz. It was oh so very very Berkeley.
Someone (a pro-Israel person?) began taping. They actively tried to stop her. A spirited discussion ensued about if it was legal or not to tape in a public venue. Were they planning to engage in any illegal activity? Was that why they objected to taping?
Then JVP introduced the students who interrupted Netanyahu. Rae Abileah from Code Pink, Matthew Taylor, 3 others. Oh, they were so proud of their brave, brave, young people!
They set up the video from their disruption. And that is when a pro-Israel person started reading from Chaim Herzog's 1975 speech to the UN on Zionism. Someone else asked Matthew Taylor about the psycho-sexual nature of his (Matthew Taylor's) foreskin restoration crusade. Had he tried any of the do it yourself procedures?
Two loudly angry JVP'ers attempted to prevent someone else taping. I think they were waving their fists at her and trying to push her. It looked very threatening. The victim of the JVP bullying was shoved into a corner, a wiry blonde thing grabbed her wrist, and the camera fell to the group.
And at that point, the shit hit the fan. Chaos and screaming.
Cecilie Shuransky had brought her little boy to the meeting . The turmoil just fascinated him - I suspect he said to his mom on the way home "It wasn't as boring as it usually is".
Rae whined "it's not the same. We interrupted the head of a state. You are interupting...us...powerless young people."
I really hate sinking to their depths.
End quote.
Well, the police were called. Seeing as this happened in Berkeley, you can probably guess which side they were on.
By the way, there appears to be a substantial overlap between IJAN, JVP, and several other groups. Why is it the same abrasively self-righteous "JVP" activists show up at so many events? Why do so many of them stand with people screaming approval of murder and support for ethnic cleansing?
Is it, perhaps, because like Matthew Taylor they have 'issues'?
Or like Rob, they have no social skills?
Maybe like Kate and her friends they wish to hurt their nearest and dearest.
Mr. Taylor, stop talking about your mythical prepuce. Rob, stop play-acting that you’re an old Jew-hating Presbyterian woman every Saturday. Kate, enjoy the remission, and stop blogging - you're a VERY silly writer.
All of you, get counseling.
Oh, and to the victim of Jewish Voice for Peace brutality, I could've told you that pepperspray wouldn't help. Those folks are rather like rabid animals, and the next time you should really use a Colt 45 long neck. Those things were developed to deal with violent Muslim fanatics, so they might actually stop a JVP activist too.
In any case, it's worth a shot.

Please note that one of the people who was there witnessed the assault on Robin by the JVP’ers very clearly.
This is what he wrote:
" I witnessed the assault on Robin Dubner on 11-14-10. I heard a fracas to my left and behind me. I turned and saw a blonde woman with short hair and a man with glasses pushing Robin backwards, toward a wall of windows and a plaster wall-- a corner, essentially. Robin had both hands above her head and the two JVPers were shoving her backward and grabbing at Robin's hands. Another two persons were behind the two assailants, all moving forward on Robin, who was retreating backward from them. Robin was screaming words to the effect of: "Don't touch me; let go of me." I didn't catch the JVPers' words, but several people were yelling at Robin at once.
I saw Robin's camera fly out of her hands and the attack on her let up for a moment. When Robin picked up her camera from the floor, the attack started again, with more pushing, grabbing and screaming at Robin by multiple people. Robin took out her pepper spray and sprayed the blonde woman; I didn't notice her spray the man but I understand he was also sprayed. At that time, Robin was able to move away.
I can testify in court that this was a brutal attck by multiple cowards on a disabled person (Robin) and that Robin was justified in protecting herself with pepper spray. The spray was used solely in self-defence. Even I feared for Robin's safety at the hands of these thugs who unjustifiably, physically attacked Robin."

And bear in mind that there are other witnesses. Unlike JVP, they will tell the truth.
The attacks on Robin have become more than just physical. JVP has initiated a campaign of what might be called "cyber-stalking"- they have created on-line peteitions and spammed and tweeted their lies across cyberspace.
I think its indicitive of the fact that JVP fears powerful pro-Israel voices. Its their way of muzzling opinions they disagree with, and of intimidating activists.
I realize you aren't jewish and probbaly do not want to continue beating this dead horse, but its important to realize that the hard left feels it has free reign to disrupt anything it doesn't like in the name of free speech. The Bound Together books anarchist collective sent this out last year, urging "peace activists" to interupt synagogue worship with their political message:
Subject: Re: [takedirectaction] BREAKING: 'Dramatic escalation' in Gaza, tanks 'moving toward frontier
No more demos. No more signs, chants, pithy t shirts. No more marches to nowhere.
And DEFINITELY no more emails to Congress, or heart-felt messages to Change.Gov and Obama, begging the conspirators to stop the conspiracy.
We each one of us is responsible - and we each one of us must take action. We cannot rely on Others to do it for us.
Here is an excellent article, with a detailed list of actions we can take, from James Petras.
www.informationclearinghouse.info/article21613.htm
I have strongly suggested to many different so-called action groups, that we immediately institute a program of visits to every synagogue in the USA, on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings, and rise in each congregation and - in dignified firm and unemotional voices- repeat "STOP THE KILLING"-- We need to go in groups of 3-4, to insure that we have 1 person as a defensive shield, and one as a video camera witness, recording everything. Jews especially should be doing these actions. We will face harsh treatment, and possibly physical attack, but our message must be resolute and continue week after week.
I see no possible legal impediment to this. The public, and certainly Jews- cannot be barred from entry to the services, and it will be extremely hard for the Synagogues to enforce exclusion. If they do, we can speak on the front steps, on the street, in the parking lot.
The Jews of America must be confronted with their clear responsibility- far more than complicity-in the mass murders, occupation, and forced starvation of the people of Palestine.
If any of you wants to work on this, just let me know.
Thanks,
DR
So, yes, our speakers, our synogogues, our heads of state are all likely targets for their wrath, but watch out jews if you ever try and respond in kind....

Totally outrageous. JVP anti-Semitic thugs physically attack an older, handicapped woman, just because she was Jewish. JVP Shame on You! This is action in the time honored spirit of the Nazi Germany.
