Specifically, it is essential that we know whether the Mastodon server covenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant) adopts the IHRA’s Working Definition of Antisemitism (https://holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definition-antisemitism) – which conflates antisemitism with criticism of Israel – or the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism (https://jerusalemdeclaration.org) – which does not. (Or some other declaration that I’m not myself aware of or had discussed with the mastodon.social team.)

@aral 💯. It is important to have clarity. I’m thankful you’ve linked these, because I think it is helpful to have a concise distinction.

And for the record, equating ANY criticism of Israel as antisemitism is such a weaponized load of authoritarian bs.
