As antisemitic incidents soar, my precise definition of antisemitism becomes more and more important to adopt

Hannah Meyers writes in Commentary about the necessity of documenting and reporting antisemitic speech and incidents, even when they do not rise to the level of crimes. One reason given is that when there are violent or criminal incidents, a record of previous antisemitic language from the perpretatots helps establish intent and distinguish between a regular crime and a hate...

EoZ definition of antisemitism being taught in the Ivy League

My algorithmic, short and useful definition of antisemitism has been discussed in an academic conference and in a scholarly book.This definition has been included in the syllabus of the course "Antisemitism: A History" being taught at Brown University as part of their Judaic Studies curriculum. Here's the course description:Antisemitism: A HistoryAntisemitism is sometimes...

You just might be be an antisemite if....

If the Star of David on Israel's flag upsets you but the crescent, crosses and other religious symbols on more than 60 other flags doesn't bother you...you just might be an antisemite.If you think that 21 Arab states isn't enough, and 1 Jewish state is too many, you just might be an antisemite.If you show more sympathy towards the person who stabbed the Jew than for the Jew...

American Bar Association caves to modern antisemites, condemns an "antisemitism" that could mean anything

The American Bar Association proposed a Resolution 514 condemning antisemitism that referred to the widely accepted IHRA working definition.Israel haters immediately attacked. More than 40 organizations, both those that are explicitly anti-Israel and "progressive" organizations, joined a campaign claiming that the IHRA Working Definition chills free speech. "Any embrace...

Voice of Arab Radio antisemitism, 1961

Before MEMRI, there was The Middle East Record. Starting in 1960 (I'm not sure how long it lasted for), a group of Israelis issued detailed analysis of the situation in the Middle East and North Africa, and also translated articles and radio broadcasts from the Arab world and the general region. It's annual report was over 700 pages.People who claim that Arabs aren't...

"Jewish academics" write an open letter against the IHRA working definition of antisemitism. Another larger group responds.

The White House initiative against antisemitism falls way short

A week ago, lawmakers sent a bipartisan letter to President Biden asking for various government agencies to work together to fight antisemitism:We welcome the measures the Administration has taken thus far to address antisemitism. However, combating a growing threat of this magnitude, particularly here at home, requires a strategic, whole-of-government approach. Interagency...

How many of these far-Right Republican figures have dabbled in antisemitism?

Haaretz has two articles about extremism in today's Republican party, and many of the examples include what they claim is antisemitism. Armed with my definition of antisemitism, do their examples fit the bill?Law professor David Schraub says that the GOP is now as antisemitic as Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party was. Let's look at what he says.After years of largely futile...

Adopt my algorithmic definition of antisemitism

The IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism is not a definition. It is a very vague guideline whose main advantage is that it is better than nothing. When a new controversy erupts about some famous person like Donald Trump, Rashida Tlaib or Kanye West saying or doing something, the narrative about whether it is antisemitic or not almost never refers to the IHRA Working Definition...
