The IHRA antisemitism definition chills debate without protecting Jews

Published:

Dr Clive Gabay, Reader in International Politics, has written for Times Higher Education on the on the IHRA definition of antisemitism:

“The IHRA definition of antisemitism expands its meaning from abhorrent conspiracy theories about Jewish control of the media, finance and governments, blood libel accusations, Holocaust denial tirades and dehumanising caricatures of Jews to include any form of anti-Zionism, as well as harsh but legitimate criticism of Israel. This has not only failed to protect me as a Jew but has also had a detrimental impact on my life and career progression.”
