Jewish controlled opposition turds' new, “improved” definition of antisemitism fails to acknowledge the history of Palestinian dispossession, preferring to focus on The Jews’ desire to just live their lives on stolen Gentiles' lands, liberated from any obligation to provide Palestinians with actual equality or dignity.
By Kathryn Shihadah: The Jerusalem Declaration on Anti-Semitism (JDA) was released in March as a progressive variant of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) “working definition” of anti-Semitism – a definition that, despite its wide acceptance, is deeply problematic.
Progressives agree that JDA is a huge improvement over IHRA. JDA acknowledges that support for the Palestinian cause is “not on the face of it” antisemitic; it also leaves room for opposition to Zionism, criticism of Israel (including use of the word “apartheid,” or a “double standard” framing), and even the BDS (boycott, divest, and sanction) movement.
