We invite you to join with JSpaceCanada in taking a progressive, pro-Israel, pro-peace stand.

 

We support a two-state solution, arrived at through negotiation and dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians, and based upon mutual respect, tolerance and equality of all citizens. 

 

We believe in Israel’s right to exist, and we strongly oppose any attempt to challenge the legitimacy of Israel. 

 

We are opposed to calls for boycotts of Israel, divestments of Israeli holdings or sanctions against Israel.  We believe these to be unfair and counter-productive.

 

We believe that the so-called Israel Apartheid Week creates poisonous campus environments and shuts down dialogue, rather than bringing people together and helping to foster peace.

 

We also believe that there are legitimate reasons to criticize Israel.  For example, we see Israel's settlements in the West Bank and their expansion as morally unjustified and as obstacles to peace.

 

If you support these basic positions and would like to join our work, please add your name and contact information.

Finally something that makes sense. We need to focus on peace and mutual respect instead of just picking sides.

Equality for all citizens should be the bare minimum. Lets get it done.
