Legitimate critiques of Israel tend to veer towards illegitimate generalizations about Israel, Zionists or Jews that rely on age-old antisemitic ideas.
The IHRA position regards any opposition to Israel’s treatment of Palestinians or advocacy of a democratic one-state solution, or many other substantive criticisms, into being understood as antisemitism.
Without a deeper understanding of antisemitism and its relationship to white supremacy, our movements for justice can easily be undermined and weakened.
