I am a former VOP DJ, and I really appreciated the memories that this video brought back for me. Thank you!

Listening to this gives me chills.

I listened to this station as it was the best (and only?) pop radio in the middle east in the '70s.

A station with a genuine cause and message broadcasting at crucial time.

This web site is to be believed. Thank you for this posting.

Peace! Salaam! Shalom! La paix!

G-d grant it to all all!

I listened to the voice of peace, radio station, often, as I was a student in Tel Aviv, from 1984-1986, and also as I was practicing my rowing skills with other kids, in the port of Yafo sea scouts, you could not miss the appearance of that peace ship on the horizon. Thank you so much, for bringing the voice of peace recordings, they are all really good memories, and I wish that more recordings will be brought up on You Tube, it was an amazing time, the 1980s. Abie, we all love you, for ever!

@dalmations32 Thank you for endeavouring to correct me, but, I stand by my post. The 'hobby station' online is NOT the Voice of Peace, 'Radius 100' from Israel operate a Voice of Peace service too, and that is not the Voice of Peace.

Most of the broadcasters are also NOT from the Voice of Peace, some are, but not all. Most are fans and lovers of the original station, excellent, but, it is not The Voice of Peace.

This type of debate has been going on for years over at Radio Caroline.Peace :-)

@pettymolly Try thevoiceofpeace.co.il you will find them there!

@DSVOP You are incorrect in what you say. The VoP is up and running and the Jocks on there are mostly the jocks that have broadcast from the original Peace ship. We do need as much support as possible. Remember, the 'original VoP was a forward thinking station that brought people new music and DJ's. So, having new voices broadcasting on the VoP is not new and is in keeping with the spirit of the original .thevoiceofpeace.co.il. Happy listening.

@pettymolly There is a 'hobby' station using the call sign online with its own web site, but, most of the broadcasters have had little contact with the original Voice Of Peace, they are using the call sign as a 'Tribute'.

I was told voice of peace is still alive. Is that true?
