,international ,holocaust ,remembrance  
,alliance definition of antisemitism is 
objective and clear1 and the use of     
alternative definitions of antisemitism1
 including instead of or in addition to 

the ,,ihra definition1 impairs          
enforcement efforts by adding multiple  
standards that leave room for subjective
 application and may fail to identify   
some of the most insidious modern       
manifestations of anti-,jewish hate4    
7#b7 ,antisemitism1 including harassment
 on the basis of actual or perceived    
,jewish origin1 ancestry1 ethnicity1

to be a targeted minority in the ,united

that ,jews are consistently the most    
likely of all religious groups to be    
victimized by incidents of hate1 and    
that such incidents are increasing at an
 alarming rate4  7#d7 ,united ,states   
officials and institutions have a       
responsibility to protect citizens from 
acts of hate and bigotry motivated by   
discriminatory animus1 including        

antisemitism1 and must be given the     
tools to do so4  7#e7 ,valid monitoring1
 informed analysis and investigation1   
and effective policymaking all require  
uniform definitions4  7#f7 ,while there 
can be no exhaustive definition of      
antisemitism1 as it can take many forms1
 the ,international ,holocaust          
,remembrance ,alliance's working        
definition has been an essential        
definitional tool used to determine     
contemporary manifestations of          
antisemitism1 and includes useful       
examples of discriminatory anti-,israel 
acts that cross the line into           
antisemitism4  7#g7 ,the ,international
