"When professor Segal and I testified at the state capital in Trenton in opposition to the adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) bill, which equates criticism of the state of Israel with antisemitism, we were jeered by Zionists and our microphones were cut by the committee chairman. There we were, arguing that this bill would curtail free speech while we were in real time being denied free speech."

D'ailleurs il a fallu que je cherche ce truc alors qu'un tas de connards comme Valls essaient (mais surtout lui au départ en France) assaient de la pousser, il n'a jamais parlé de l' #IHRA ni de "définition opérationnelle ..."

parce qu'il savent tous que c'est de la merde.
Même des juifs honnêtes ont dû leur dire directement que c'était foireux

Wieland Hoban explains #philosemitism in Germany:
"It’s very difficult to have a general sense of Jews as ordinary people who are part of the country’s population. Many people have an image frozen in time of Jews as the victims of the Nazis, who were the parents or grandparents of many Germans.

"In some cases, this leads to an over-compensation which means that people want to have a particularly favourable idea of Jews. They make a point of doing what they think is supporting Jews. Including supporting Israel, going on holiday in Israel, or cultivating connections to Israel thinking this somehow revives Jewishness."

Jetzt offenbart die Linke ihr wahres Gesicht

Wer den Zionismus ablehnt, lehnt die Existenz eines jüdischen Staates ab - und damit genau jenen Schutzraum, der für Juden weltweit nach Jahrhunderten der Verfolgung existenziell geworden ist

In der Tat eine Schande für Deutschland, dass der Bundestag und viele Institutionen bei uns #Antisemitismus nach #IHRA, und nicht nach der dafür eigentlich sinnvollen #JDA auslegen: Das eröffnet Verwirrung, Willkür und Bias Türen und Tore - q.e.d. ..

As part of big moves being made by the IHRA lately, they are starting their own stock car series running late models on short tracks and it debuts at my hometrack down on the outskirts of Radford Virginia this weekend. That's neat getting some attention for the Valley & Ridge/Blue Ridge area of #Virginia (I live right on the border between the two regions, technically I'm Valley & Ridge but can really claim either)

Il ddl Antisemitismo rischia di soffocare alle le forme di lotta nonviolente come il boicottaggio - Radio Città Fujiko

Il ddl Antisemitismo è un pericolo per chi si batte contro le violazioni dei diritti umani di Israele. Tra le vittime anche le lotte nonviolente come il boicottaggio.

Ever wondered why "Palestinianism" conflicts with Christian moral teaching [*]?

#Haaretz investigation reveals an Israeli government-funded propaganda campaign targeting U.S. evangelicals, orchestrated by Brad Parscale’s firm, Clock Tower X LLC, under a $6 million contract disclosed via the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). The campaign, launched in late 2025, employs AI-optimized websites, SMS outreach, and theological framing to counter declining U.S. support for Israel, particularly among Christian conservatives.

[...] In November 2024, Haaretz revealed that the State of Israel had hired U.S. firms to target millions of American Christians - particularly evangelicals - with pro-Israel propaganda, distributing content in churches and online. The contracts were exposed in filings to the U.S. Department of Justice under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (#FARA), which mandates disclosure of foreign-funded influence operations in the U.S.

[...] The largest contract, worth $6 million, was awarded to Brad Parscale’s firm, Clock Tower X LLC (a key strategist for Donald Trump’s 2016/2020 campaigns). While the stated goal was "combating antisemitism in the U.S.", Haaretz’s investigation found that the actual output was a pro-Israel, anti-Palestinian campaign with minimal focus on antisemitism.

[*] The document is a propaganda article published in December 2025 on Culturavia.org, which is a website funded by the State of Israel via Clock Tower X LLC (Brad Parscale’s firm, linked to Trump’s 2016/2020 campaigns). The article is part of a $6 million Israeli #hasbara campaign targeting U.S. #evangelicals disclosed under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

In choosing to adopt the controversial & widely discredited #IHRA definition (doing so against the advice of many experts, including the author of the definition, who warns against its use for purposes linked to government regulative activity), the Royal Commission set up by the #Albanese #ALP federal government after the #BondiMassacre has now become the Royal Commission into Criticism of Israel, rather than what it claims to be, a Royal Commission into Antisemitism.

It is not antisemitic to uphold #HumanRights, #InternationalLaw and oppose a #genocide. It *is* antisemitic to conflate legitimate criticism of Israel with hatred of all Jewish people as such.

By making this move, the Commissioner has shifted the focus of investigation away from some of the very factors most responsible for the recent rise in *actual* hatred towards Jewish people as such. This will seriously impede the ability of the Commission to reach useful insights. Instead, it will likely result in shifting blame (implicitly or explicitly) onto those standing up for the lives and dignity of Israel's victims, including onto survivors, as well as relatives and friends of victims of genocide, torture, forced displacement and starvation.
