Defenders of Israel frequently accuse of antisemitism those who question its doctrinal foundations and/or its behaviour towards native Palestinians. In recent years, they have often rested their case on a working definition of antisemitism formulated by the International Holocaust Remembrance Association (IHRA), an extraordinary document that conflates the criticism of Israel with antipathy towards Jews.

 

Here we present an excellent website called No to the IHRA that systematically debunks this definition from moral and legal standpoints.  ​We follow with the article What is wrong with the IHRA definition, by Deckers & Coulter, published in the Journal of Moral Philosophy, ResPublica.

​​

We also show how accusations of antisemitism were used to bring down Jeremy Corbyn, the one British prime ministerial who sought a fair deal for the Palestinians, and his supporters, many of who are Jews.
