This is being done in my name. I get emails celebrating non-profits who strong-arm institutions into adopting a new definition of antisemitism, directly to my email inbox. Since, after all, couldn't I only disagree if I am a fake jew, or a bad jew? That I suppose is taken as a given, which is how bad the community witch hunt has gotten here in the Diaspora.

Edit: Here is what I was linked to by the email as the "IHRA definition" from the StopAntisemitism website. This slightly differs from the IHRA site, but isn't what I was linked. So it appears they are tacking onto someone else's definition? https://stopantisemitism.org/about/ihra/

Here are two points from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of Antisemitism in the link above. The one orgs like the JNF and the ADL are championing in our name:

"Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor."

and

"Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation."

Now you can imagine how Jews who are against US-colonialism, and all varieties, and are not hypocritical in the slightest beyond the witch-hunt for "bad jews", feel about this. This is a flimsy excuse for Christian politicians and racist liberals to call protestors "fake jews". I on the other hand, think it is anti-semitic to hypocritically apply the dual-loyalty trope just because you are both an ardent nationalist of your home country and one you don't even live in. I don't know about you, but I think the history lesson may have been to drop those loyalties that demand "just following orders" to begin with. Flimsy and disgusting abuse of Jewish identity to inflame Islamophobic anger, with these being the only changes relative to other definitions. Exactly what I'd expect from people who inherently view the lived experiences, language, songs, and voices of the Jewish diaspora as inherently lesser, and who cannot pick out even basic principles from Talmud study. Individuals who go to bat for war and never for peace, ignoring the poor of their own country to privilege those who have done aliyah first. Halacha tells you not to do that, along with many other ways you could not be an asshole, like not starting a McCarthyist witch hunt in a vulnerable minority community.

Stop twisting anti-semitism, leaning further into it's tropes for a witch hunt among the Jewish community, and demanding recognition of new definitions that are blatantly amending in new excuses to be racist.

Maybe this will be one of the new tragedies to mark Tisha B'Av for Jewish people around the world. Or maybe you could quit playing into the hands of conservative schmucks who don't give a shit about our people and our cultures outside their stupid apocalypse.
