The Israeli government is moving forward with its illegal E1 settlement plan. E1 would partition the north and south of the West Bank, severing communities and further entrenching Israeli apartheid. We have to act now to stop them.
📢 Go to bit.ly/E1letter to tell Mark Carney, sanction Israel now!
Bill C-9 is a dangerous and overreaching piece of legislation that will threaten fundamental rights for all Canadians. As Jews committed to justice and solidarity, we reject the idea that increased policing of peaceful protests will protect our communities.
"It is possible to reject hatred against one group without embracing injustice toward another. The future of Jewish life, be it here in Canada or anywhere else, cannot be built on another people's erasure." -IJV National Coordinator Corey Balsam in National Post

Support Senator Woo’s motion for Canada to examine whether it is complicit in Israeli genocide by taking action with
@justiceforallcn.bsky.social 's letter campaign today: www.justiceforallcanada.org/senate-gaza....
Thank you, Senator @ypwoo.bsky.social , for speaking out against the ongoing genocide of Palestinians on Holocaust Remembrance Day. To honour the legacy of the Holocaust and our people’s history, never again must mean never again for anyone.
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.

It's time for Canada to take concrete action against the organizations that fuel illegal settlements.
These sanctions are a necessary and urgent step to stop the mass theft of Palestinian lands and the rise in widespread Israeli settler violence.

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.

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.

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.
IJV reaffirms our support for Palestinian liberation, and calls for Canada to enact an arms embargo now! Go to armsembargonow.ca to read the report and take action.
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
IJV strongly condemns the Liberal government’s proposed Bill C-2, which copies from the MAGA playbook to pave the way for mass deportations and widespread state surveillance.
Learn more about the harms in this bill and take action with Migrant Rights Network: migrantrights.ca/actionslist/...
📢 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/
We need an arms embargo and sanctions—now.
Use these tools from @leadnowca.bsky.social and @wbwcanada.bsky.social to demand Canada sanction Israel with an arms embargo today.

Since that statement, Israel has killed over 200 Palestinians in Gaza, blocked adequate amounts of life-saving aid from entering, continued a military invasion of Jenin, and bombed Southern Lebanon in violation of November's ceasefire agreement. What will move Canada to act?
🧵 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-...
No charitable status for genocide, no more money for war crimes!
Send a letter now: actionnetwork.org/letters/acti...
IJV has submitted a formal complaint about this to the Canada Revenue Agency.
Canada must immediately suspend and ultimately revoke the charitable status of orgs like Mizrachi Canada and pursue them with criminal investigations.
Mizrachi's 2023 filings show >$10m sent to Israel. The top recipient: Chevra Kadisha Rishon Lezion at $1.7m.
The CRA only shows the names of recipient orgs and $ sent. Israel's equivalent gives details: Equipment for West Bank settler militias and the IOF's genocidal Gaza op!
