Note to Reader

ALCCA is a coalition of independent organizations united by shared principles outlined on this website and in our mission statement. Each member group may hold additional views that are not necessarily shared by other Alliance members.

To be clear, member groups of the Alliance do not speak for or on behalf of ALCCA unless specifically authorized. Likewise, while ALCCA represents the collective interests of many of its members, it does not speak on behalf of all members unless explicitly indicated. 

Similarly, member groups do not speak for one another unless explicitly authorized.

Principles

A group of diverse people join hands in the middle

The Alliance of Canadians Combatting Antisemitism (ALCCA) was formed leading up to the May 2024 Parliamentary Hearings on Antisemitism in Canada. The Alliance's mission now extends to a range of initiatives to address antisemitism in Canada, wherever it takes place.

The members of the Alliance share a deep concern about the alarming rise of antisemitism on university and college campuses across Canada. While the Committee understandably placed particular emphasis on campus-related issues, our concern is not confined to campuses. Antisemitism in primary and secondary schools is also pervasive and has contributed greatly to, if not preordained, the toxic environments on too many campuses.

All Alliance members believe that respectful dialogue initiatives on campuses represent an important way to reduce both antisemitism and other forms of hatred.

Our Mission

What We Mean By Antisemitism

Robust criticism of Israel and its government in a manner consistent with how other states are criticized does not constitute antisemitism. However, the demonization of the State of Israel as a Jewish democratic state and/or the demonization of all Zionists without distinction does fall under antisemitism. This is consistent with the IHRA definition of antisemitism adopted by Canada. It is well established in Canadian human rights jurisprudence that speech or conduct may be antisemitic in effect or impact, whether or not it is intentionally antisemitic. 

Our Strength

​​

The strength of the Alliance lies in the wealth of expertise and experience of its members, as well as its diversity. By way of illustration only, Alliance members view this issue through the intersecting perspectives of Indigenous leaders, Muslims, Catholics, Hindus, Iranian-Canadians, organizations representing doctors, professors, academics, lawyers, national security experts, human rights advocates, Jewish students, parents, and families, educators, NGOs, Synagogues and interfaith groups, a media monitor, and several groups involved in respectful dialogues.
