1. Críticas a la Definición de la IHRA.
Muchos consideran que la definición de antisemitismo de la IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) es problemática porque equipara las críticas a Israel con el odio hacia los judíos, lo que limita la libertad de expresión y dificulta el debate sobre la política israelí.
- "the ihra definition of antisemitism is a tool to stifle criticism of israel. Truly insidious.".
- "the ihra definition of antisemitism only refers to "holding jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of israel." criticism of the actions of the israeli state are not antisemitic.".
- "the ihra definition of antisemitism deliberately, mendaciously and disingenuously conflates jewishness with israel so that any criticism of israel, even description of israeli policies, becomes a criticism of jews. Its co-author has repudiated its current uses.".
2. Defensa de la Definición de la IHRA.
Otros argumentan que la definición de la IHRA es esencial para identificar y combatir el antisemitismo moderno, y que no impide las críticas legítimas a Israel. Se enfatiza que la definición busca combatir el odio hacia los judíos, no silenciar el debate político.
- "the ihra definition of antisemitism is the global consensus definition, used by cyberwell and hundreds of other entities worldwide to identify and combat jew-hatred. It's often misunderstood as stifling criticism of israel. Here's the truth:".
- "the ihra definition of antisemitism explicitly states that criticism of israel is not necessarily antisemitic. If you compare israeli policy uniquely to nazism that is a barb specifically designed to offend jews and is clearly antisemitic.".
- "liar. Try reading the ihra definition of antisemism before making ridiculous statements. Anti zionism antisemitism.".
3. La Conexión entre Antisionismo y Antisemitismo.
Un punto central del debate es si el antisionismo, la oposición a la existencia del Estado de Israel, es inherentemente antisemita. Algunos creen que sí, mientras que otros argumentan que es posible criticar a Israel sin odiar a los judíos.
- "the ihra working definition of antisemitism is perfectly fine. I get that anti-zionists i.e. Israel eliminationists want something that kosherises them without any effort in their part. But this chronic lack of effort is why it exists. If they can't do anti-zionism without antisemitism they can stop".
- "no! the ihra definition equates antizionism with antisemitism , & that is completely unacceptable. It makes quite a lot of jews antisemites !".
- "the ihra 'definition' of antisemitism, in protecting zionism, an inherently racist creed as all imperialist justifications for settler-colonial ethnic domination are, is itself antisemitic.".
4. El Uso de la Definición de la IHRA para Silenciar Críticas.
Existe la preocupación de que la definición de la IHRA se esté utilizando como un arma para silenciar a los defensores de los derechos palestinos y para reprimir la libertad de expresión en los campus universitarios y en otros espacios públicos.
- "on thursday, april 17, holocaust scholars across the country denounced the ihra definition of antisemitism. Rather than protecting jews, this definition is being weaponized to silence debate on palestine, erase criticism of israeli violence, and.".
- "the ihra definition, equating criticism of israel w/ antisemitism, is a tool for repression. Even the drafters of the ihra definition agree.".
- "this is why the push to codify the ihra definition of antisemitism is so troubling. It risks branding students, activists or even members of congress as bigots simply for opposing occupation or calling for palestinian rights. 8/".
5. Alternativas a la Definición de la IHRA.
Algunos académicos y organizaciones han propuesto definiciones alternativas de antisemitismo que buscan evitar la confusión entre las críticas a Israel y el odio hacia los judíos, como la Declaración de Jerusalén sobre el Antisemitismo.
- "this an absolute no-brainer. The definition of antisemitism in the jda is vastly superior to the ihra's. It's much clearer and doesn't conflate jews with specific jewish organizations or ideas. Criticism of israel or zionism is only antisemitism if it's done *because* they are jewish.".
- "i adhere to the jerusalem declaration on antisemitism, which takes pains to explain that opposing zionism/ists is not antisemitism. The conflation of antisemitism and antizionism, as laid out in the inherently problematic ihra definition of antisemitism, is not something we should take seriously".
- "the jerusalem declaration on antisemitism responds to the ihra definition. Ihra is unclear in key respects & open to interpretation and assimilated jews with israël, (in 7 of 11 articles)hence weakening the fight against antisemitism”.
