  • CAPS Statement 24-01 - On the IHRA's Working Definition of Antisemitism In this statement passed in its April 24 meeting, the CAPS commission opposes the IHRA definition of antisemitism.

    Bloomington, IN
    Proposal

    On April 24, the Community Advisory on Public Safety Commission passed Statement 24-01, opposing the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's working definition of antisemitism, which the commission argues conflates criticism of Israeli government policy with antisemitic speech and threatens constitutionally protected civic discourse. The statement was prompted by accusations of antisemitism leveled against CAPS after it called for a US ceasefire resolution in Gaza, and it reaffirms CAPS's commitment to condemning actual antisemitism while defending the right to advocate for changes in US policy toward Israel without being labeled antisemitic. The resolution passed 6-0-0 and emphasizes that legitimate concerns about antisemitism must be distinguished from restrictions on free speech regarding government policies.
