The IHRA’s Careless Conflations on Antisemitism (and Few Alternatives)

Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

In this post, Moshe Behar critiques the recent letter sent by English Secretary of State Gavin Williamson to university chancellors instructing them to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliances’ (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. Behar contends that the definition of antisemitism that the IHRA has put forward is meant to squash legitimate democratic forms of criticism of the state of Israel much more than to help identify and stamp out antisemitism.
