ANNOUNCEMENT: on the statement of the Vice Presidency of the Spanish Government on the definition of anti-Semitism by IHRA

ACOM congratulates the Vice President of the Government, Carmen Calvo, for her statement expressing her wish that Spain adopts the definition of anti-Semitism by IHRA.

We hope that this intention translates as soon as possible into a formal adoption of this definition by the Government, and event in a vote in Parliament proposed by the Executive.

We would like to remind that the definition of anti-Semitism by IHRA unmasks the harassment and the discrimination against the Jewish State dressed up as “anti-Zionism” as anti-Semitism.

After the adoption of this definition there will be more legal instruments against those who try to discriminate against Israelis and people who support the Jewish State in Spain.

We also hope that this brings an immediate stop to any public financing of organizations or activities that are included in the definition of anti-Semitism by the IHRA.
