Article by Jonathan Hafetz and Sahar Aziz describes how the IHRA definition of antisemitism has been weaponized to silence criticism of Israel. While purportedly intended to combat antisemitism, its examples are often used to conflate legitimate critique of Israeli policies with antisemitism. This misuse suppresses human rights advocacy, undermines free speech, and obstructs genuine efforts to address antisemitism. This source is helpful for context on the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, freedom of speech, pro-Palestinian activism, repression of campus activism, and the conflation of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism.
