We acknowledge that we live on sovereign First Nations land in the country now called Australia. We honour all First Nations peoples' unbreakable connection with Country and thank them for their stewardship under which all life flourished. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present, and stand in solidarity with their anticolonial struggle.
We are Jews, both secular and observant, who deny Zionism's claims on our identity, and resist both its appropriation of our spiritual and cultural heritage, and its exploitation of our history, particularly the Holocaust. We seek a just peace for all people living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, and advocate for the establishment of a political entity based on equality, plurality, and democracy for all people living within its borders.
We believe that the land now called Israel is the homeland of both Palestinians and Israeli Jews.
We view Israel as a settler colonial project established and maintained by global powers for their own interests. We see it as an apartheid state that maintains Jewish supremacy through the violation of others' human, civil, and national rights. We maintain that Israel depends for its existence on state terror and has always resisted a negotiated settlement with Palestinians. History shows that the Zionist project has always sought to encompass all of historic Palestine.
We believe that Palestinians have the right to resist their colonisation, occupation, siege, and oppression. We regard the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement as legitimate nonviolent resistance against the Israeli state and other entities which support and benefit from the dispossession and oppression of Palestinians.
Our activism is grounded in the universal principles of freedom, equality, and justice for all people. As part of a broad coalition of Jewish, Palestinian, and other antiZionist and anticolonial groups in Australia and abroad, we work for Palestinian human and national rights. We publicly challenge the misrepresentation of issues relating to Palestine and the State of Israel and actively engage in nonviolent resistance to Israeli crimes.
We work with other Jewish antiZionist groups to dismantle Jewish communal support for Israel. We initiate and support campaigns to exert pressure on the Australian government to act to compel Israel to abide by international law.
