Redefining Antisemitism?

Redefining antisemitism? IHRA and the JDA

The Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism (JDA) is, according to its authors, “a tool to identify, confront and raise awareness about antisemitism as it manifests in countries around the world today. It includes a preamble, definition, and a set of 15 guidelines that provide detailed guidance for those seeking to recognize antisemitism in order to craft responses”.

“It was developed by a group of scholars in the fields of Holocaust history, Jewish studies, and Middle East studies to meet what has become a growing challenge: providing clear guidance to identify and fight antisemitism while protecting free expression.” At the time of publication of this briefing, it has over 200 signatories.
