Definitions for "Alliance of Concerned Jewish Canadians"
The Alliance of Concerned Jewish Canadians (ACJC), (previously referred to as the Alliance of Canadian Jews (ACJ)) is a coalition of Canadian Jews who are critical of the policies of the Israeli government, particularly toward the Palestinians. It claimed 114 members as of June 2006. http://canadiandimension.com/articles/2006/06/19/520/ The ACJC argues that Israel has wrongly "claim[ed] to speak in the name of Jewish people around the world," and that "those of us who have a different vision" should "come forward publicly to present our views to the Canadian Jewish community and to the people of Canada." It seeks to represent "Jewish anti-occupation forces" in Canada.
