![Text stating: The JDA’s actual and most important gain is to establish a distinction that is not new as such, but which here finds its clearest and most explicit formulation.
One of the most important criticisms of the IHRA definition was that only some of the examples were given with sufficient specificity and exemplified antisemitism per se (for example, “holding Jews collectively responsible for the actions of the state of Israel”), while other examples could claim no such conclusive significance.[12] In the IHRA definition, such a distinction is at best only hinted at (“taking into account the overall context”). The JDA, meanwhile, makes the aspect of complexity explicit. This allows it to achieve both of the document’s goals, which are only indirectly connected: clarifying what is and what is not antisemitism, and safeguarding space for legitimate exchanges of opinions. In particular, the JDA offers people the chance to make a highly important differentiation, which recognizes that phenomena of enmity in the actual Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be variously motivated, situated, and contextualized. Superficially similar statements can often carry very different meanings, and correspondingly, as with the previous examples of anti-Zionist positions, might or might not be antisemitic. The same applies for calls to boycott Israel. These phenomena are therefore possibly, but not necessarily, antisemitic. On the other hand, there are things that must always be classified as per se antisemitic, regardless of context, including applying classic antisemitic stereotypes to Israel or, as mentioned, holding Jews responsible for the actions of the state of Israel.
This conceptual tool for clearing up the grey areas in the discourse around Israel-related antisemitism cannot be valued highly enough.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vom4rsitnsiyuexdh3j2srpw/bafkreiaq2xea2aagtk4dykqilfu2c4tq4wqjnigqxqrcfd2rywgvxxxrsy)

What is the #JerusalemDeclaration On #Antisemitism #JDA in fact about - despite all the dubious chatter? Read more on background, history and epistemological character as well as criticism of this really useful definition and contender of the #IHRA definition @rosaluxstiftung.bsky.social

Habe gerade in #deutschlandfunk Nachrichten gelernt, die #jerusalemDeclaration erwähne Israelfeindlichkeit nicht, und darum solle man nicht mit der Linkspartei zusammenarbeiten. 🫠

Unwählbar. Erneut. #DieLinke #JerusalemDeclaration
What’s the root of all this?
Different definitions of antisemitism.
Germany uses the #IHRA definition.
But many Jewish activists use the #JerusalemDeclaration.
One conflates criticism of Israel with hate.
The other doesn’t.

@jewishfacultyca.bsky.social consists of 200+ Jewish profs in Canada. We oppose the #IHRA definition of #AntiSemitism for these reasons: jewishfaculty.ca/jewish-facul.... In its place, we endorse a credible alternative consistent with historical usage: #JerusalemDeclaration: jerusalemdeclaration.org
There is a "definition of antisemitism" being adopted by Australian universities that is even worse than the IHRA so this is a good time to review the #JerusalemDeclaration medium.com/@geofbard/an... an article I wrote a while back
"The #JerusalemDeclaration on #Antisemitism responds to “the #IHRA Definition,” that was adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) in 2016. Because the IHRA Definition is unclear in key respects and widely open to different interpretations..."
