Jody, you are wrong on this. IHRA definition conflates critiques of Zionism & Israel's illegal colonization of Palestine with anti-semitism. Anti-semitism is racism and cannot be combated by suppressing legitimate dissent of apartheid state perpetuating racial settler oppression

Conflating criticism of Zionism and the Israeli state with anti-Semitism is more offensive and anti-Semitic than the initial act of criticism of a state engaged in inhumane occupation, in my opinion.

Thanks for your support Jody for championing our Jewish Communities to give them the right to define their own hate and feel safe.

I’m part of the Jewish community, a daughter of Holocaust survivors and I find this definition of antisemitism offensive to diversity and Palestinian Human Rights, inclusive of Jewish rights
#NelsonMandela and#MLK were long ago against this policy in Israel.#cdnpoli#vanpoli

Thank you Jody for your support on this. It is time for the City of Vancouver to take a principled stand against
#antisemitism#VanPoli -
A principled stand would be to support human rights for ALL people, and oppose colonialism in all its forms. This motion is the opposite of a principled stand.
