Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) is a Canadian pro-Palestine[1][2][3] advocacy organization established in 2002.[4]

In November 2011, it criticised the Canadian government for not condemning the Israeli government's plan to expand a number of its settlements,[5] which are considered illegal under international law as interpreted by the International Court of Justice.[6]

It adopted its current name in 2004.[4]
