Response
Colin Rubenstein, executive director of the Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council, described IAJV as "dangerous and unrepresentative" and said that "some of the individuals are clearly committed to the delegitimization of Israel."
IAJV's statement of principles states "that Israel's right to exist must be recognised and that Palestinians' right to a homeland must also be acknowledged"., IAJV says its search for peace in the Middle East represents a legitimate opinion "and should be met by reasoned argument rather than vilification and intimidation".

“Perhaps nothing in all my business has helped me more than faith in my fellow man. From the very first I felt confident that I could trust the great, friendly public. So I told it quite simply what I thought, what I felt, what I was trying to do. And the response was quick, sure, and immediate.”
