The Jewish Anti-Zionist Conference calls for Israel's expulsion from the United Nations and its punishment.

A meeting of more than 1,000 Jewish and non-Jewish anti-Zionists in Vienna, Austria, called on all states and communities to fulfill their obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide and to take all necessary measures to stop the ongoing genocide in Gaza, including sanctions.

While this is the first event of its kind in Europe, it has already laid the foundation for planning a second conference in 2026.

The final statement adopted by the conference (July 13-15) said: “We, the speakers and organizers of the conference, issue this general appeal, which reflects the collective positions reached during the three days of deliberations.”

He added, "As anti-Zionist Jews and allies of Zionism, we stand with all Palestinians—in Palestine and in exile—against Zionism and its crimes, including genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and occupation. We affirm the right of peoples under occupation to resist by all means, as recognized in numerous UN resolutions."

The statement emphasizes: “It is essential that Jews of conscience everywhere unite in opposition to Zionism, in cooperation and solidarity with the global movement for the liberation of Palestine. We are committed to expanding our movement beyond its European roots to include anti-Zionist voices from around the world, including the Global South. We unreservedly condemn all war crimes committed by Israel since October 7, 2023, including ethnic cleansing, military apartheid, the annihilation of cities, the destruction of schools, medical killings, and mass starvation as a tool for the forced expulsion of over two million Gazans, as well as the ongoing genocide of hundreds of thousands—one of the worst war crimes of our time.” These actions have already been recognized by the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice, although the State of Israel has categorically rejected the demands of both courts. It has also rejected numerous calls from both the UN General Assembly and the Security Council in the same manner. As a result, nearly two million civilians are now imprisoned in a small area of the Gaza Strip, without access to food, water, medicine, shelter, or medical care. The new crimes are just the latest additions to a long history of similar crimes, dating back to 2007.

The statement denounces the fact that: "Despite repeated violations of UN General Assembly and Security Council resolutions, as well as extensive reports issued by UN special rapporteurs, no sanctions have been imposed on Israel."

The Jewish Anti-Zionist Congress declared: "Sanctions should include suspending Israel's membership in the UN General Assembly, as happened in 1974 with South Africa for practicing apartheid. Israel's crimes are clearly more horrific."

The declaration noted that none of these war crimes and crimes against humanity could have been committed or continued "without the active and enthusiastic support of Western powers - through military aid, financial support, and political and diplomatic cover - led by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand."

The declaration affirmed that "by enabling and arming a criminal state that commits genocide," these governments bear legal and moral responsibility under the 1948 Genocide Convention.

The conference noted that while the United Nations has deployed international forces for decades to "separate the combatants" between Israel and Egypt, and Israel and Lebanon, it has never established a protection force "to protect Palestinian lives from the systematic oppression and terrorism perpetrated by the Israeli state." The declaration stated, "We agree that the time has come to enact such a humanitarian measure. Without it, Israel will continue its mass crimes against the Palestinians."
