Dear Friend,

I am happy to share the following Haaretz article about our decision not to endorse the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. This definition is not neutral or simply academic. It is being utilized to quash legitimate criticism of Israeli government policies.

We knew that this would be a controversial step to take. But we are convinced that weaponizing antisemitism to legitimize and normalize the occupation is wrong. We are determined to not be a part of it.

Please read the story and let me know what you think.

Here's the story posted on our website: Haaretz: Americans for Peace Now refuses to adopt 'weaponized' definition of antisemitism [ [link removed] ]

Shabbat Shalom,
