IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism Adoptions
In recent years, the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism has emerged as the global “gold standard” in the collective effort against rising contemporary Jew-hatred, in all its manifestations.
The definition’s far-reaching impact is rooted in the broad-based consensus that has formed around it, with more than 1,100 entities worldwide adopting or endorsing it as an essential tool to delineate what constitutes prejudiced behavior toward the Jewish people, with the following countries and U.S. states among them.

“When one thinks of Israel, wine is not usually the first thing that comes to mind. But, surprisingly, it is a wine country, from north to south. Israel is a complex place, and wine offers a way to speak, to listen, and to learn about Israel in a different way.”
So said CAM Director of Community Engagement and IWC Co-Founder Shira Granot to a gathering of distinguished experts, archaeologists, anthropologists, wine producers, and diplomats this month at a unique forum in Rome, Italy.
Speaking at the event, “Wine as European Cultural Heritage: A Strategic Dialogue Between the Cultural and Viticultural Industries to Enhance Territorial Identity,” Granot offered insights on how Israel’s rapidly-growing wine industry has turned one of the world’s most arid regions into a hub of innovation.
Students from the Darca high school in the Druze village of Daliyat al-Karmel made the 100-mile round trip to show their support for the Bibas family.
True unity.
How many of these do you know? And how many have you encountered? 🤔
Public discourse about the Hamas-led October 7th attacks and the subsequent war in Gaza has been rife with antisemitic symbols and rhetoric — yet when Jews call out this antisemitism, some people just don`t understand what all the fuss is about.
It`s time to break down the litany of slurs, dog whistles, and symbols once and for all.

Hundreds of people joined us this month in Uruguay for a conference about the ongoing hostage crisis and wars being fought by Israel, the wider Middle East, and Iran`s path to the atomic bomb.
Pilar Rahola, the Catalan journalist and writer who also serves as Chair of CAM`s Hispanic Advisory Board, former prosecutor in Jerusalem Mookie Tenembaum, and CAM Director of Hispanic Outreach Shay Salomon, were among the prominent speakers.
Discussing the ceasefire, Salomon said: "Israel`s situation is precarious. Maybe a ceasefire isn`t the best option, but if I was one of the families of the hostages, I would the same as them. Maybe more if it was my son, my brother, my father. But from a geopolitical point of view, it`s a bad idea."
Antisemites are trying to make Jews go away. Violence, threats, intimidation, name-calling, dehumanization – it’s all designed to make Jews afraid to live their identity publicly and proudly.
Sacha Roytman, CEO of the Combat Antisemitism Movement, discusses the concerning escalation of antisemitism in the context of the Israel-Gaza conflict in his recent @usatoday op-ed.

On Feb 22, 2025, two Israeli civilians, Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, were freed after over 10 years as hostages of Hamas in Gaza. Both struggled with mental illness before their capture — schizophrenia that shaped their fates.
Here’s their story.
Three days have passed, and our collective grief only deepens.
We are mourning Oded, a journalist who dedicated his life to pursuing peace, and Shiri Bibas, whose love as a mother to her precious children Ariel and Kfir embodied the purest of human bonds.
Ariel and Kfir, the two little red-headed boys who became a symbol of the lost innocence snatched by Hamas, will forever be etched into the hearts of Israelis, Jews and allies worldwide.
The hearts of Jews around the world will never stop aching for them.
❤️🩹 Their deaths are an #unforgivable crime against humanity.
It`s a relief to see six hostages returned home: Eliya Cohen, Omer Shem Tov, Omer Wenkert, Avera Mengistu, Tal Shoham and Hisham al-Sayed.
They show signs of severe trauma and malnutrition despite Hamas`s attempts to conceal their condition before release. Two hostages, al-Sayed and Mengistu, had been held for nearly a decade.
Over 60 hostages still remain in captivity.
🎗 #BringThemHome
🎗️💔 It is with profound sorrow that we mourn the confirmation of the identities of the youngest among the hostages Kfir Bibas (9 months) and his brother Ariel (4 years old). Earlier today, the National Institute of Forensic Science confirmed the identification of their bodies, confirming as well that they were brutally murdered by terrorists in captivity.
The body of their mother, Shiri Bibas, does not match any of her identifying parameters, nor does it match any of the remaining hostages.
This is a grave violation by the terrorist group Hamas, and we demand the immediate return of Shiri to her home, alongside all the remaining hostages, NOW.
Ariel was 4 years old at the time of his death, and Kfir was just 10 months old. They were brutally abducted on October 7th 2023 along with their mother, Shiri, from their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz. Yarden Bibas, the father of Ariel and Kfir, was also abducted while attempting to protect his family. Yarden was released as part of a deal earlier this month, on February 1st, after nearly 500 days of unimaginable suffering.
Words cannot capture the depth of this horror.
May their memory be blessed 🧡
💔 With heavy hearts, we mourn the confirmation of the identity of Oded Lifshitz z”l, the slain hostage, as his family receives this heartbreaking news.
We will forever remember and keep Oded Lifshitz in our hearts. A journalist, peace activist, and devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He lived a life filled with purpose, love, and hope. All of this was tragically stolen from him on October 7, 2023.
No words can capture the depth of this horror, but we have a moral obligation to remember and honor Oded, and to continue fighting for those still held captive.
May his memory be blessed 🕯️
🤝 New Mexico Mayors Unite to Combat Antisemitism
Yesterday leaders from across New Mexico gathered in Santa Fe for a groundbreaking forum on tackling antisemitism at the city level. Hosted by @combatantisemitism, this event brought together mayors committed to fostering inclusive, hate-free communities.
From education to policy initiatives, these leaders are taking a stand against rising antisemitism and ensuring that New Mexico remains a place of respect and unity for all.
The forum was the first in a series of regional follow-ups to the 2024 North American Mayors Summit Against Antisemitism in Beverly Hills, California, in December, where six New Mexico municipalities — Española, Las Vegas, Las Cruces, Grants, Santa Rosa, and Albuquerque — were represented.

More than 16 months ago, the Bibas family - father Yarden, mother Shiri, and their two sweet young sons Kfir and Ariel - were brutally kidnapped from their home on what was supposed to be a quiet Shabbat morning and carried off to Gaza`s dungeons.
Yarden was freed earlier this month. However the terror group claims that Shiri and the kids were killed in captivity.
There are no words to describe the pure evil behind this terrible story. For this, and so many other horrific atrocities, Hamas must be eliminated from the face of the earth. There can be no redemption for the murder of children.
Let us honor their names: Kfir, Ariel, Shiri.
Let us remember their faces, the day they were taken from us.
We are all Kfir, Ariel, and Shiri.

Kanye West`s X account may now be down, but his extended antisemitic rant remains deeply worrying. Millions of people saw that he loves Hitler and calls himself a Nazi, and many of them liked and shared his poisonous posts.
Only someone ignorant of what actually happened to Black people under Nazi rule could ever side with their oppressors. That`s why it`s crucial to learn from history and ensure: #NeverAgain.
This is deeply unsettling to witness. Their unabashed, malicious hatred is a precursor to the violence that is unfolding in our country and must be eliminated.
These two medical professionals working with @newsouthwaleshealth NEED to be identified and immediately removed from any position where they could carry out their threats and dangerous intentions.
There will likely be arguments claiming that Jews have brought this hatred upon themselves due to Israel’s actions in Gaza.
This reasoning is completely misguided.
It is this very hatred and dehumanization of Jews that fuels wars and the devastation of October 7.
If left unchecked, it will further deteriorate our society. It’s time to hold them accountable.
39 years ago, on February 11, 1986, Natan Sharansky was released from Soviet prison and arrived in Israel, a moment that symbolizes hope, resilience, and the fight for freedom. As the Chairman of the Combat Antisemitism Movement Advisory Board, Natan continues to inspire us all with his dedication to human rights and the battle against antisemitism.
Combat Antisemitism Movement is honored that the Hon. Irwin Cotler, a member of our Advisory Board, has been nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
As founder of the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights, Canada’s first special envoy on Holocaust Remembrance and Combating Antisemitism, and in his role on our advisory board, Irwin has dedicated his life to justice and human rights.
We`re honored to have him with us and thrilled to see his work recognized globally.
Today marks 19 years since the tragic and brutal murder of Ilan Halimi, a 23-year-old Jewish man from Paris. In February 2006, Ilan was kidnapped, tortured, and killed by a group of individuals who targeted him because of his Jewish faith. This horrific crime, which took place in the suburbs of Paris, shocked the world and highlighted the disturbing reality of antisemitism in France and beyond.
Ilan’s captors held him for weeks, believing his family would pay a ransom. During his captivity, he was subjected to unimaginable cruelty. Despite his family’s efforts, the authorities failed to act in time to save him. On March 13, 2006, Ilan was found dead, left to die in a state of abandonment.
This case was one of the most horrifying examples of modern-day antisemitism. Ilan’s murder was not just an isolated incident; it served as a stark reminder of the dangerous rise in hate and prejudice against Jews worldwide, a problem that still persists today.
As we remember Ilan Halimi, we must continue to fight against the rise of antisemitism and hatred in all forms. Let his story inspire us to work for a more just and compassionate world, where no one is targeted because of their identity.
May Ilan’s memory never fade, and may we honor him by standing up against all forms of hate.
