It’s striking that many defending IHRA definition insist definition is NOT focused on conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism. This, despite fact that loudest advocates for the definition make it clear that this is the ONLY part of the definition that matters to them.

Here is @DemMaj4Israel’s statement from yesterday. Include 1 sentence about purpose/content of definition: “...this is no time to give cover to antisemites who attempt to disguise their Jew hatred as mere criticism of Israel.” https://demmajorityforisrael.org/press-releases/dmfi-urges-biden-administration-to-adopt-ihra-antisemitism-definition/

Here is the COP et al statement from Tues - less than a week after antisemitic mob stormed Capitol. ENTIRE FOCUS behind call for IHRA is alleged assertion that “some anti-Israel activity is simply a modern form of antisemitism.”
