The Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) issued the following statement on Friday about the ongoing legislative process surrounding HB 1002, a state bill in Indiana to define antisemitism:
“We are disappointed that the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism and its 11 examples were removed from HB 1002. Without this definition, which is broadly supported across the Jewish community in Indiana and worldwide, the bill lacks the ability to clearly and explicitly identify antisemitic incidents, let alone combat antisemitism on campuses. We urge Indiana residents to call or email their state senators and representatives to amend the legislation to incorporate the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism along with its 11 examples. In order to protect Jewish students and faculty at Indiana’s public education institutions, the IHRA definition must be included in HB1002. Please join us and make your voice heard on this important issue.”
