The opening as it read in 2010
Independent Australian Jewish Voices (IAJV) is an Australian Jewish advocacy organization that opposes some of the current Israeli government's policies.1IAJV says that it condemns violence by both Palestinians and Israelis.2Independent Australian Jewish Voices was founded on March 5, 2007, following the emergence of similar groups in Britain ( Independent Jewish Voices ) and Germany (Schalom 5767), as well as in the United States ( Jewish Voice for Peace ), Canada ( Independent Jewish Voices (Canada) ) and Netherlands ( Een Ander Joods Geluid ).3Its statement of principles was published in various Australian newspapers with 120 signatories, including prominent Australian academics, writers and lawyers. Three weeks after the launch, the number of signatories had grown to 450. In common with other such groups, IAJV is concerned about what it describes as the narrow range of opinion that is available in the mainstream media concerning Israel and Palestine and with the uncritical allegiance of the leadership of the organized Jewish community to Israeli government policy.4Its founding statement criticized those who vilify Jewish critics of Israel by labeling them "self-hating" or disloyal.5
