It is with gratitude, respect, hope and inspiration that the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network is participating in this First Forum for Solidarity with Arab revolutions.
IJAN is an international network of Jews who are uncompromisingly committed to human emancipation. To this end we focus on the struggle for the liberation of the Palestinian people and land. We are committed to ending Israel apartheid and colonization and to the right of return of Palestinian refugees.
Beginning with the struggle to dismantle Zionism and confront Islamophobia, we participate in local and international movements against all forms of racism, exploitation, and militarism, and for economic, political, social, cultural and environmental rights. We organize as an international network that is active across the United States, the UK, Canada, Argentina, India, France, Switzerland, Spain, the Netherlands, and in Israel itself.We have appreciation and deep gratitude for the risks taken in so great a challenge to imperialism and Zionism. The most effective way for people in the core imperialist countries to act in solidarity and defend the Arab revolutions is to extend them to Europe and to the US. The crisis that has been the catalyst for revolution in the region is global.
