Proposals for Areas of Work

We spent a lot of time today developing proposals for different areas of international organzing work. Following is a list of these proposed work areas:

• Development of anti-zionist education resources
• Anti-zionist narrative collection
• Participation in Israeli Apartheid Week
• Popular Tribunals (community mock-trials of Zionist war criminals)
• North America Convening in 2009 (organizing conference)
• Literature and analysis development
• Creation of sector networks (Students, Academics, Religious/Spiritual, Jews of Color/Mizrahi, Youth, Cultural)

Would you be intersted in being involved in any of these projects? Are there concrete project proposals that you have for IJSN international work?

New and refined ideas for the name

We will vote on these tomorrow. What do you think?

• International Jewish Solidarity Network: Resisting Zionism
• The 11th Commandment: International Jewish Resistance to Zionism
• Jewish Anti-Zionist Congress (maybe followed by subtitle that references international nature of network)
• Parting the Sea (maybe followed by descriptive subtitle)
• Eyes Wide Open (maybe followed by descriptive subtitle)
• The Pomegranite (maybe followed by descriptive subtitle)
• A Key Challenge (maybe followed by descriptive subtitle)
• Out of Bondage (maybe followed by descriptive subtitle)
• Jewish Solidarity Network: The Anti-Zionist International
• Jewish Resistance Congress: International Challenge to Zionism

Two days of work completed, two more days to go!

This morning IJSN is entering our third day of meetings during this first international gathering of the network! The process so far has been incredibly exciting and productive. In the past two days we have focused on developing the foundational principles and orientations that will guide our work as we get increasingly concrete over the weekend. As we move forward, we would love your input on our work so far, as well as your continued feedback over the next two days.
