UN advisor cites ‘human rights concerns’ in call to reject popular antisemitism definition

A United Nations advisor hired to analyze the rise in antisemitism globally called for member states to stop adopting a definition of the term favored by leading American Jewish organizations.

E. Tendayi Achiume, the special rapporteur on contemporary racism, said the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s working definition of antisemitism was both ineffective and had “an impact on the human rights of minorities and vulnerable groups, including Jews.”

Achiume called the definition “controversial” and “divisive.”

Versions of the IHRA definition have been used by the United States for more than a decade, and it has more recently been adopted by 37 other countries and many state governments. It is frequently promoted by organizations including the American Jewish Committee as a tool for institutions like universities that have been plagued by accusations of antisemitism. But opposition to the definition has mounted in recent years, with critics arguing that it primarily targets criticism of Israel and that it has been weaponized against Palestinian activists.

Yes again, another goddamned NON-JEW trying to intellectualize anti-Semitism and declare what is and isn't anti-Semitism. This is how anti-Semitism flourishes when assholes like this woman try to make anti-Semitism about something it ain't! Fuck her!
