Today marks the 2nd yahrzeit of the genocide in Gaza. As Jews who are called to work for justice, as Canadians whose tax dollars go towards funding this genocide. With grief in our hearts, we must move into action. www.ijvcanada.org/marking-two-...

Today, the new Global Sanctions Coalition is calling for immediate sanctions against the World Zionist Organization & Israeli Minister Orit Strook as key architects of illegal settlements across the occupied Palestinian territory. Read more at tr.ee/GSC1. #SanctionIsraelNow

IJV stands in solidarity with Palestinian students, families, and educators. We applaud the @etfoeducators.bsky.social vote to develop resources on anti-Palestinian racism, a crucial step towards fostering inclusive learning spaces for all students, and call on the Ontario government to do the same.

Who are Friends of JNF Canada? The "new" charity is a burner for JNF Canada, who had their charitable status revoked last year by CRA. ACT NOW! Tell the CRA - no more tax receipts for JNF Canada's crimes! tinyurl.com/stop-jnf

Months of warning, and the world has failed to take action. How can Canada's leaders watch while Israel creates famine and commits genocide, and do nothing? We need concrete action, arms embargo and sanctions now. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Canadian Jews say, stop sportswashing genocide! Halifax and Canada must refuse to host Team Israel, set to play at the Davis Cup in September. Israeli athletes representing a country committing war crimes are not welcome here.

Last week, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada plans to recognize Palestinian statehood in September. This came one day after the groundbreaking report demonstrating ongoing flow of arms from Canada to Israel, yet made no mention of enacting an arms embargo.

Israel has starved over 100 Palestinians to death. WHO warns that 2.1 million people face starvation in Gaza. Hundreds have been murdered while trying to access aid. Canada's response? Promises of "concrete action" that keep turning out to be empty words. What more will it take?

Deborah Lyons has resigned as Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance & Combatting Antisemitism. It's time to appoint someone qualified for the job & cut ties with IHRA. Tell Guilbeault that Canadian Jews want an Envoy who will fight antisemitism, not Palestine solidarity bit.ly/envoy25

Was happy to speak out on behalf of @ijvcanada.bsky.social against the OCDSB's decision to reprimand Elizabeth Yao for calling out the genocide in Palestine in her commencement speech. There is a very clear difference between actual harm and discomfort with opinions you disagree with.

Tonight! Join IJV for a webinar on the dangers of Canada's IHRA Handbook, and our new resource Silenced In Our Name. There's still time to register: bit.ly/silenced2025

📢 Today, IJV is proud to release, Silenced in Our Name: A Jewish Commentary on Canada’s IHRA Handbook. This new resource exposes how it advances the criminalization of anti-Zionism, suppresses criticism of Israel, & fuels anti-Palestinian racism. Read the commentary today: ijvcanada.org/silenced/

🧵 On May 19th, Canada released a joint statement with France and the UK saying it would not hesitate to act to hold Israel accountable for blocking aid in Gaza and settler expansion in West Bank. Today, Israel is still committing genocide. What is PM Carney waiting for?

Canada faces a moral crossroads. It can either uphold the principles of justice and human dignity, or remain complicit in atrocity. To be on the right side of history, and to honour the promise of Never Again, our leaders must act now.

Today we mark the Nakba, and 77 years of ongoing ethnic cleansing, colonization, apartheid - and now genocide. For over a quarter of a century, Zionism has been a brutal force of violence and settler colonialism. But Palestinians will not be erased. Read more: www.ijvcanada.org/nakba-at-77-...

BREAKING: The Mizrachi Organization of Canada is using an Israeli funeral society to fund Palestinian death. Canada must act to stop this abuse of tax breaks and sacred Jewish tradition.

Nous félicitons Bochra Manaï pour sa nomination à titre de directrice du Bureau des commissaires à la lutte au racisme et aux discriminations systémiques de la ville de MTL. Mme. Manaï s'est résolument tenu du bon côté de l'histoire et l'histoire lui saura sans aucun doute le lui reconnaître #polmtl

NOW - Former Human Rights Chief Birju Dattani is launching a defamation lawsuit against Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman, Ezra Levant of Rebel News, and CIJA. IJV's @SamHersh01 will be speaking in support. Watch live: www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

Trump’s ‘plan’ for Gaza is ethnic cleansing, and the continuation of genocide. He and Netanyahu are planning for the total, violent erasure of Palestinians from Gaza. But we know that Palestinians aren't going anywhere, and Gaza belongs to Palestine.

The Coalition Against Antisemitism, Anti-Palestinian Racism & Islamophobia released an open letter to the Canadian gov. It warns the Justice Committee's recent report on antisemitism includes dangerous recommendations that fan the flames of Anti-Palestinian racism & risks increasing antisemitism.

Students say campus Palestinian events face disproportionate scrutiny, interruptions and shutdowns by security We spoke to local chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine, @ijvcanada.bsky.social & the Carleton University Human Rights Society Read it here: leveller.ca/2025/01/carl... #ottpoli

"It’s a perfect example of how the memory of the Nazi Holocaust can sadly be used to justify fascist and even genocidal policies." - IJV National Coordinator Corey Balsam on Poilievre's speech for Intl Holocaust Remembrance Day www.readthemaple.com/poilievre-ma...

🧵 Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we hold close the memories of all who were murdered by the Nazi regime. 6 million Jews and millions more victims — including Roma, queer and trans people, disabled people, and political dissenters — were killed by the Nazis.

🧵 After the ceasefire, Israel is still acting with impunity. Less than a week after the ceasefire has gone into effect, Israel has violated its terms, launched a renewed invasion of Jenin, and allowed settlers to run rampant terrorising Palestinians in the West Bank.
