Community group established in 1984. A progressive Jewish voice, a Jewish voice among progressives. More details: www.ajds.org.au

The Australian Jewish Democratic Society (AJDS) is a member-driven community organisation with an elected committee. We support social justice and human rights in all countries, non-violent conflict resolution and a negotiated solution of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. We especially want to offer a considered and alternative viewpoint of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to members of the Jewish community and the wider Australian public. A range of perspectives that can counter the damaging stereotypes and fear-mongering, which poisons the public debate right across the political spectrum from left to right. The conservative stance taken by many ‘official’ Jewish organisations does not in fact reflect the diversity of community opinion in Australia, or indeed within Israel itself. To receive regular email updates, sign up on our website or send an email to [email protected]. Please Note: This page, like all AJDS pages and websites, is moderated. Whilst we welcome an open discussion, personal attacks, racist remarks and comments by trolls will not be tolerated. Please keep that in mind when you partake in the dialogue. You can check out Facebook's community standards for more information - https://www.facebook.com/communitystandards.
