The Jewish Virtual Library (JVL, formerly known as JSOURCE)[1] is an online encyclopedia published by the American foreign policy analyst Mitchell Bard's non-profit organization American–Israeli Cooperative Enterprise (AICE).[2] It is a website covering topics about Israel–United States relations, Jewish history, Israel, the Holocaust, antisemitism and Judaism.[3]

The website includes the book Myths and Facts. The book was originally written by Leonard Davis and published in 1964. Later editions were written by Bard who describes it as "the pro-Israel activist's 'bible'".[4]

The JVL also includes the website stopbds.com which aims to combat the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.[4][5]
