Jewish orgs excommunicated ‘JVP’ for heckling Bibi and refusing to swear by ‘Jewish, democratic state’ http://mondoweiss.net/2011/03/jewish-orgs-excommunicated-jvp-for-heckling-bibi-and-refusing-to-swear-by-jewish-democratic-state.html

There is growing consensus in the organized Jewish community, reports Stewart Ain at the NY Jewish Week, that it's ok for Jews to call for a boycott of settlement products so long as you don't target Israel itself or criticize Israel too much. The group Jewish Voice for Peace, which calls for targeted boycott, is being excommunicated, the piece explains, because it declines to endorse Zionism, which is still a religious principle within the organized American Jewish community, no dissent tolerated. Other infractions? JVP led the heckling of the rightwing Netanyahu in New Orleans last year, and a chapter invited Chomsky to speak and he used the word "apartheid."
