Global Jewish Groups from 16 Countries Reaffirm their Commitment to Justice for Palestinians
On 8-9 June, after four years of meeting monthly online, the International Jewish Collective for Justice in Palestine (IJCJP) met in London to demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, an end to the genocide, and a call to Jewish communities world-wide to join the global movement for justice. The Collective – represented at the London conference by 22 organizations on the 6 continents in 16 countries –met to strategize, share approaches, and strengthen its organizing to participate with all its power as a strong and principled partner in the Palestinian-led movement for justice.
IJCJP proudly speaks for the significant and growing number of Jews across the globe who–because of their deeply-held values of justice–are committed to being part of the vital and vibrant movement for justice.
We will not be silent!

Congratulations JVL on hosting this wonderful event. Proud to be one of your supporters. I will send this to the Labour Party and share widely
Very moving, inspiring.
MAZEL TOV TO YOU ALL!!
Wonderful, inspirational article. Thank you JVL for always speaking out for truth and justice.
So glad that our current is becoming more and more visible here — and audible, as in Radio 5 Live.
This is really exciting. Jewish people around the World coming together to campaign against the Zionists. Its becoming more difficult to call it anti Semitic to condemn Israel’s actions against the Palestinians. I’m proud to be a Member of JVL.
