Additions and Revisions to the Organizing Principles

Today, after further exploring the outstanding questions posted with the organizing principles yesterday, we revised the below two organizing principles and added two others that follow.

Revised Principles:

Leadership selections
Assignment of formal roles in IJSN will be transparent. The power to select or remove leaders will rest with the members. IJSN will encourage and develop the leadership capabilities of its members.

Orient toward the Strategic Goals of the Network
This is a network of activists committed to strategic action for the purpose of affecting change. It is in this context that we pursue the important work of challenging the grip of Zionism on Jewish identity.

First new principle
IJSN supports the struggle for liberation of the Palestinian people. It certainly does not presume to lead or determine the course of that struggle but will work with Palestinian forces seeking to end the colonial system in their homeland.

Second new principle
IJSN will welcome new members who support its goals and principles and will welcome their contributions and provide opportunities for them to deepen and develop their political understanding and activist capacity.
