INTERNATIONAL JEWISH ANTI-ZIONIST NETWORK

Early day motion 2332, tabled 22 October 2008 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 27 members.

That this House welcomes the launch of the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network (IJAN) and its founding Charter which gives voice to the great and growing number of Jewish people worldwide who refuse to allow the Israeli state to act in their name and who condemn Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people, including the murder of 64 children in 2008 alone, its apartheid laws, its expropriation of Palestinians' land and resources, its militarism and nuclear weapons, and its trade in arms (the fourth largest in the world); and notes that by speaking out IJAN discredits Israel's attempts to suppress criticism with false accusations of anti-Semitism.

Signatures by party: Labour 16, Liberal Democrat 5, Independent 2, Conservative 1, Plaid Cymru 1, Scottish National Party 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
