Fight antisemitism and white supremacy,
Not Palestine solidarity
#NoIHRA
The Palestine solidarity movement is facing an unprecedented threat.
The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Working Definition of Antisemitism (IHRA-WDA) is designed to silence criticism of Israel and of Zionism by equating this criticism with antisemitism.
Yet since antisemitism is a type of racism, it must be opposed in solidarity with other anti-racist struggles. The real fight against antisemitism must be joined to the struggle for equality and human rights for all people in Canada, in Israel-Palestine and around the world.

IJV has spent the last year gathering research about the repression faced by academics, students and Palestine solidarity activists, collecting approximately 80 testimonies describing the resulting “chilling effect” in Canada. This report is the first of its kind anywhere in the world.
