About Us
There are three main focuses for our work in Palestine-Israel: 1) supporting joint struggle against Israeli Apartheid and colonialism between Mizrahi Jews and Palestinians inside of Israel and in the broader region; 2) collaborating with Israeli Boycott, Divestment and Sanction efforts; and 3) Supporting the work of Palestinian organizations inside of Israel (’48).
IJAN prioritizes getting the voices and activism of anti-Zionist Israelis out into the world and increasing the visibility of Mizrahi experiences of displacement, discrimination and exploitation by Zionism and Israel.
Regional Building
Israeli Network projects are still evolving, some ideas include:
- A digital storytelling project to document Mizrahi history and experiences of Israeli Apartheid to be used for a popular tribunal in Israel and also as testimony for tribunals in other locations; and
- Organizing a popular tribunal that brings together testimony from Palestinians, Mizrahi and migrant workers against the State of Israel.
