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.

Stan Lee is a legend in the world of comic books, and was the first to use what we now call the “Marvel Method.” Rather than writing the script before the illustrations, Lee explained the basic plot of each issue to the illustrator and filled in the dialogue afterwards.
While we can’t attribute the growth of an entire industry to one person, it’s safe to say that comic books wouldn’t be what they are today without the creativity of Stan Lee.

To ensure the success of the @WhiteHouse national strategy on combating antisemitism, task force members @ambsusanrice, @douglasemhoff and Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall should firmly define antisemitism in their imminent strategic document.
They should endorse the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism in their national strategy as it is the most authoritative and widely-accepted delineation of all forms of contemporary antisemitism globally.

"I painted this image in response to finding out that a neighbor in my building, a human rights lawyer, was warning others who interact with me saying `Be careful, Ari is a Zionist.’
Over the last few years, with the dramatic increase of antisemitism disguised as antizionism, the lack of safety I feel in predominantly white, left, queer spaces has worsened. As a queer Jew, I live in a world where unless I pass the `Good Jew Test` i.e. support the dismantling of the only Jewish state in the world, it is unsafe for me to be openly Jewish and even less so openly Zionist. My art is how I express my lived experience as a multi-marginalized person and how the ignorance and hatred of the people around me impact myself and the members of my various communities." - Ari Fremder (@thenonbinarystranger)
