“The IHRA definition of antisemitism” refers to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. The IHRA definition is used to assert that criticism of Israel and Zionism is antisemitic, “anti-Jewish,” and discriminatory. In Congress, proposed bills would make the IHRA definition into law, and connect its charges of “antisemitism” to “supporting terror.” They threaten to criminalize protest, defund schools, ban teaching about racism, target BIPOC & Jewish organizations, fire supportive professors, evict students, deport immigrants, undo DEI policies, and excuse genocide. Wherever it is already policy, the IHRA definition is used to smear, defund, and and in some cases criminalize those who oppose racism, colonialism, and genocide, and those who speak up for Palestinian voices and rights.

Legislators and institutions are under immense pressure from Zionist/right-wing organizations to adopt IHRA. This resource page supports efforts to formalize opposition to IHRA wherever possible.
