HUMAN rights campaign group Liberty has warned against the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of “anti-semitism.”

A resolution passed by members of the group in mid-May says the government-adopted definition blurred “the previously clear understanding of the nature of anti-semitism” and risks “undermining the defences against it.”

It also said IHRA’s definition threatened freedom of expression by “conflating anti-semitism with criticism of Israel and legitimate defence of the rights of Palestinians.”
