This definition is widely accepted and necessary to ensure that Never Again isn&#8217;t just an empty phrase. However, HRW and its allies are concerned that the IHRA definition could be misused to silence speech critical of Israel. This concern is unfounded, as the definition accurately captures the essence of anti-Semitism and draws strength from the fact that the vast majority of Jewish people agree that it best encapsulates their shared lived experience of how anti-Semitism manifests. If HRW and its allies are truly concerned about IHRA&#8217;s misuse, they should direct their time and energy towards understanding what the definition actually says, rather than ignorantly and dangerously undermining a near-universal understanding that is finally raising awareness of the problem&#8217;s many manifestations. Anti-Semites should not get a say in defining anti-Semitism, and the U.N. should not shy away from the gold-standard definition to make the perpetrators of anti-Jewish hate feel more comfortable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Jews around the world commemorated Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) last week, 100+ organizations signed onto a Human Rights Watch letter asking the United Nations not to use the most accepted definition of anti-Semitism, the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition, as part of its efforts to make sure that Never Again isn\u2019t just<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1667,"featured_media":1918607,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[5212,7934,8814,7376,6307,25079],"class_list":["post-1918606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-anti-semitism","tag-belong","tag-definition","tag-enemies","tag-hands","tag-of-israels"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1918606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1667"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1918606"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1918606\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1918607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1918606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1918606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1918606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
