Switzerland Adopts IHRA Definition of Anti-Semitism
(JTA) Cnaan Liphshiz - The government of Switzerland on Friday adopted the definition of anti-Semitism of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, the 36th country to do so. The IHRA definition lists examples of anti-Israel criticism that can be defined as anti-Semitic, including comparing the country's policies to those of Nazi Germany, denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, and "applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation." The U.S., Canada, UK, Germany, and the European Parliament have adopted the definition.
