“To be a Jew means always being with the oppressed and never the oppressors." Warsaw Ghetto Resistance Fighter who was committed to the liberation of the Palestinian people, Marek Edelman
IJAN relies on the generosity of grassroots donations. Help us continue to expose Zionism and stop the on-going ethnic cleansing of Palestine
The state of Israel dishonors the persecution and genocide of European Jews by exploiting and misusing the holocaust to further Zionist political ambitions and provide cover for its crimes. Today, Zionists use false claims of anti-semitism to bolster both their Islamophobic targeting of the Palestinian struggle for liberation and their racist targetting of Muslim and Arab commities in the United States, Canada and Europe. They are using the same deceitful tactics to mobilize support for a military attack on Syria.
One of the reasons we organize as Jews is because Zionism implicates Jews in the oppression of the Palestinian people as well as the repression of people and movements across the globe. It debases our heritages, undermines struggles for justice, and threatens our alliances with our fellow human beings.
The International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network is an international network of Jews who are uncompromisingly committed to struggles for human emancipation, of which the liberation of the Palestinian people and land is an indispensable part. We are committed to the dismantling of Israeli apartheid, the return of Palestinian refugees, and to ending the Israeli colonization of historic Palestine. We coordinate and support Jewish participation in local and international efforts to challenge Zionism, Islamophobia and other forms racism.
To this end, some of our projects include:
Never Again for Anyone: challenging the misuse of the Nazi genocide of Jews (“The Holocaust”) for political purposes to justify colonization, displacement and apartheid in Palestine which is a dishonor to those who survived and those who did not.
Israel's Worldwide Role in Repression: exposing Israel’s role in repression, not only of Palestinians, but through its military and homeland security exports, all over the world.
Business of Backlash: revealing the financing behind the attacks across the United States against those who have been organizing in support of Palestine and other movements for justice. This report received extensive media coverage, including in Salon, Jadaliyya, Al Jazeera, and Electronic Intifada.
Defeating Zionism means joint struggle with fights against militarization, capitalism, racism, environmental destruction and sexism. When we join together to fight against dehumanization of any kind, we begin to restore our dignity and collective power.
