From Words into Action

The Jewish Anti Zionist Congress (JAZiC) was born in 2024, with its first Congress in Vienna 2025 – a century after the first Zionist congress in Basel in 1897. It is a growing project, aiming to internationally connect anti-zionist organizations, academics, civil society actors, as well as individuals–Jews and non-Jews–who are willing to analyze, discuss, connect and act to support the Palestinian struggle in Palestine and the diaspora.

Congress 2026

We come together for the 2nd Jewish Anti Zionist Congress (JAZiC#2) which will take place on the 26.-28. June 2026 in Dublin, Ireland.

The congress will include multiple panels and workshops, led by international speakers from various academic, journalistic and civil society backgrounds. In light of the current state of affairs in Palestine, it will explore a range of critical themes and examine how political clarity can drive global action–highlighting the shift from solidarity to strategic collaboration.

We will review the historical and contemporary relevance of anti-Zionism in broader liberation efforts, while understanding the intersection of decolonization, restorative justice and the fight against imperial narratives. We will explore the complex relationship between Zionism, power structures, and global politics, while considering how these themes shape our vision for a just future.

The congress offers a platform to engage with pressing issues, envision transformative change, as well as plan possible actions.

Declaration of the Jewish Anti-Zionist Congress

Vienna, 13–15 June 2025

Over 1,000 anti-Zionist Jews and non-Jews gathered in Vienna during three days of presentations and workshops at the Jewish Anti-Zionist Congress. While this was the first event of its kind in Europe, it has already set in motion the planning for a second congress in 2026.

We, speakers and organisers at the Congress, hereby issue this public call, reflecting the collective positions reached through the three days of deliberations.

Who is the congress meant for?

Organizations, academics, students, journalists, activists and other individuals, Jewish and non-Jewish, who are interested theoretically and/or practically in addressing one of the major issues of our times–the Palestinian struggle for justice and liberation–via the anti-Zionist lens.
