Blinken: Biden Administration Embraces IHRA Definition of Anti-Semitism
(Jewish Insider) Melissa Weiss - On Feb. 23, Secretary of State Tony Blinken wrote that the Biden administration "enthusiastically embraces" the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) working definition of anti-Semitism, "including its examples." These examples include "drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis," "denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor" and "applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation." The definition has been adopted by dozens of countries in recent years.
