Antisemitism
|
A statement from Independent Jewish Voices, a human rights organization in Canada, warns against conflating criticism of the state of Israel with anti-Semitism notable in the IHRA definition:
“The most prominent example of this dangerous campaign is the attempt to impose the flawed and widely discredited International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism on governments, public institutions, universities, and civil society. The IHRA definition is not designed to protect Jewish communities from the rising bigotry and racist attacks we face, predominantly carried out by white supremacists. Instead, it has been employed in many countries as a bludgeon to suppress advocacy and academic freedom.” Also see IJV’s campaign opposing the IHRA definition: https://www.noihra.ca |
