Independent Jewish Voices Canada (IJV) is an organization that describes itself as representing Canadian Jews who have a strong commitment to social justice and universal human rights. The organization was founded in 2008 as a result of a national conference called on behalf of the Alliance of Concerned Jewish Canadians. Though the membership is not public, in a letter[1] written to a local municipality in 2022, they claim to have over 1,000 members across Canada of the approximately 335,000 Canadian Jews.[2] Their unofficial association[3] with the organization Samidoun[4] has been a source of criticism from both within and outside of the Jewish community. IJV was founded in 2008 as a result of a national conference called on behalf of the Alliance of Concerned Jewish Canadians.
IJV promotes the expression of alternative Jewish voices, particularly with respect to the Middle East. It is guided by the following Basis of Unity:
We affirm that human rights are universal and indivisible and should be upheld without exception.
We believe that all people living within Israel-Palestine have the right to freedom, equality, and to peaceful and secure lives.
We believe that the fight against antisemitism is undermined when principled opposition to unjust Israeli government policies and practices–including those that contravene international law–are branded as antisemitic.
We oppose all forms of racism, including antisemitism, anti-Arab racism, anti-Black racism, Islamophobia, and intra-Jewish racism, which marginalizes Jews of colour, Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews.
We stand in solidarity with the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island (North America) in their efforts to overcome the impacts of European colonization both past and present.
We seek direction from the communities with whom we stand in solidarity and follow their leadership at every opportunity.
We strive to be inclusive, justice-seeking, democratic, and open to diverse ideas and practices.
We believe that true security requires justice and solidarity.[5]
