The U.S. is urging the European Union to adopt a working definition of antisemitism, similar to the one used by the State Department, a senior State official said in a conference call with Jerusalem U on Monday.
Defining antisemitism is “an important tool” for combating the rising antisemitic trend in Europe, where — the official, who was not speaking on the record, warned — several smaller Jewish communities, which have existed for 500 to 2,400 years, are on the verge of extinction.
The State Department definition of antisemitism includes certain attitudes toward Israel. In what are commonly referred to as the “3 Ds,” a phrase coined by Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky, the definition says that demonization, delegitmization and holding Israel to a double standard all constitute antisemitism.
The senior official noted that Europe needed to make a distinction between legitimate criticism of Israel and when criticism may function as antisemitism.
The E.U.’s Agency for Fundamental Rights put a working definition of antisemitism on its website in 2005, but deleted it a few years ago, with certain E.U. members claiming it was never official anyway; the State Department still includes that working definition on its website.
Similarly, Israel’s Foreign Ministry antisemitism czar, Ambassador Gideon Behar, told TheAlgemeiner on Monday that Israel also wanted to see the E.U. adopt a working definition.
Additionally, the State official lauded U.S. officials, clergy and community leaders for continuing to ensure that the price of antisemitism in public remains high. He noted that while the U.S. does not have laws prohibiting hate speech on the books, this system of shaming has ensured society-based punishment for antisemites. Part of this, he explained, comes from the awareness of what antisemitism is, which is bolstered by the U.S.’s working definition.
Interestingly, although the State definition is applicable in the U.S., the official noted his agency could do little to guarantee that states and public agencies also adopt the definition. For example, the University of California has struggled this year to pass a resolution condemning antisemitism, because some activists and interested parties want the U.C.s to take the State Department line in distinguishing certain criticisms of Israel as antisemitism, whereas others argue that including Israel in any definition of antisemitism is tantamount to stifling political debate.

Here at The Ugly Truth, we have our very own definition of ‘anti-Semitism’.
Please ‘copy-and-paste’ it to all of the social media message boards that bring up the subject of ‘anti-Semitism’…….
The first ‘recorded’ case of ‘anti-Semitism’ can be found–surprise, surprise–within the very first book of the Old Testament (Torah) itself, Genesis, where Pharaoh has just discovered that Abraham lied to him in describing his wife Sarah as his ‘sister’ (and therefore a virgin) in the interest of selling her as a concubine (sex slavery) within Pharaoh’s harem. After Pharaoh’s household comes down with some mysterious ‘illness’ (the bible doesn’t say what kind of illness, but the fact that Pharaoh ties it to Sarah leaves little doubt as to what it was) Pharaoh confronts Abraham with his trickery and then orders both him and his ‘sister’ Sarah kicked out of the country.
So there you have it! Pharaoh committed anti-semitism when confronting Abraham’s lies and deceit…….
I know what the real definition of these bloodthirsty scum will be, it exists already, and has done for thousands of years, and is that is that any Gentile who is not following the Jewish Noahide Laws must be executed, exactly as their laws demand, and it is literally impossible for any non-Jew to fulfill the requirements of the Noahide Laws.
They already demonstrated what they want to do to non-Jews in 1917 in Russia, by attempting to slaughter as many Gentiles as possible. Just as that fake ‘revolution’ was no liberation at all of the working people, but the annihilation of millions of them, so the Jews do the same genocide all over the world whilst ‘liberating’ one people after another during so-called ‘revolutions’, using the same excuse.
Jews are genuinely not interested in the slightest in converting Gentiles to Judaism, as the Jewish soul is held as eternal and cannot be created, whist the Gentile soul is also held in Jewish understanding to be eternal, but a totally and eternally different substance and species of soul to the Jew.
Jews are not striving to achieve world domination simply to share it with non-Jewish souls, this is a battle by the Jewish souls for spiritual racial supremacy of their soul group alone. Regardless of conjectures on the blood lines of their gross material bodies, which are not that important to them ultimately, it will be a collective of what are held by them to be eternally Jewish souls alone that is intended to achieve that goal, and no mixture of souls, or else why would there be any struggle in the first place for thousands of years, and why are most leaders in many fields throughout the world today Jewish if this is not intended to be the case by this demonic group of parasitical souls?
All Gentiles are held by Jewish understanding to be eternally non-Living demon souls from hell, that were created by so-called Satan, the eternal adversary of the Jews, and though it might appear that there are some convertees, you see that the vast majority of them have Jewish names and are simply Marano Christians returning fully to the fold after a few generations living deep cover as saboteurs of Gentile society.
Black people being Jews? well, one can read ‘100,000 Radiations’ by Barry Chamish and see what they do to black Jews and Jews with mixed blood, strictly non- kosher, all for the chop, with any Jewish souls living in such unacceptable racially impure bodies recycled by the rabbis working on the other side, sending those Jewish souls back into new Jewish bodies to continue the fight against all other races on this planet, until all those people are completely exterminated, following an initial period of total subjugation and slavery, which is occurring right now.
Jew Karl Marx stated that the only purpose of all other races, both great and small, is to perish in a revolutionary holocaust. His books are in fact held in the British Library in London under the section marked ‘racist literature’. Rabbi Stephen Wise stated “Some call it Marxism, …., I call it Judaism”.
He also stated that while he had been an American for 60 years, he had been a Jew for 4,000 years. All Jews avoid the laws of karma by kapparot black magic blood ritual, and consciously reincarnate only in Jewish bodies to continue their incessant drive for world domination
For what chief Jewish rabbis think of us today, the same as they always have done, read ‘Why Is The US Honoring A Racist Rabbi’ By Alison Weir, CounterPunch.
Another pearl from the OT and this time it is jew vs. jew; when Prophet Elijah condemned, attacked king Ahab for having returned back to the worship of Baal, the response of Ahab was that Elijah, Prophet of God, was… anti-Israel, that he was the destroyer of Israel!!!
The old anti.semitic card used against one of their own prophet! Unreal.
This story is found in 1 Kings.
….and so? Who with more than three brain-cells WOULDN’T be anti-semite.
Anti-semitism ought to be an article of pride, not something of which to be ashamed .
….or defensive about.
I think that is presumptuous of an American official to tell the EU such a thing. It’s also insulting. The pig should be told to shut his mouth and if he’s on European territory, given one day to leave.
Jews are so paranoid because they are so guilty !
They need the protection of law, and sanctimony of religion to protect their power.
What was it Saint Paul said? “There be those that say they are Jews but are not, for they are of the synagogue of satan.”
How many people have written to their members of parliament and congress people?
I have written dozens of times warning about Jewish extremeism and terrorism.
There are major national security issues as well.
Rabbi Ovadia Yosef and his mental illness of hatred for all non jews is a gift that keeps on giving.
Come on everyone, every chance I get, with every interaction on the street, in the office, at the doctors waiting room – I tell of Jewish extremism, terrorism and threats to national security.
I practice in the mirror my delivery – “Oh yes there are many good jews but they appear very silent on many issues. I am deeply concerned about Israeli spying, stealing of American tax payer funded high technology to sell to the enemies of the United States and Jewish religious and racial extremism….” People should ACTUALLY PRACTICE in the mirror there delivery.
I have had huge success with this.
They are giving it away!
Why are we on the book foot! I want them on the back foot. I want them to lose their jobs. I want them never invited to the neighbors barbecue. I want them to hang their heads with shame, to be ostracized, out casts, poor, struggling, hounded and harassed.
