The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), formerly the Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance, and Research (ITF) until January 2013,[1] is an intergovernmental organization established in 1998.
Official narrative
The organization's mandate is founded upon the principles laid out by the Declaration of the Stockholm International Forum on the Holocaust.[2] The stated aims of IHRA are to mobilize and coordinate political and social leaders' support for Holocaust education, remembrance, and research at national and international levels. In 2007, IHRA expanded its thematic mandate to include the genocide of the Roma[3] and other topics, such as genocide prevention and combating antisemitism.[4]
Definition of "Anti-semitism"
The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance defines "anti-semtitism" as "denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavour" has been described as "The most blatant attempt to equate anti-Zionism with antisemitism".[5] This definition is explicitly rejected by Labour Against The Witchhunt.

Howard | "Tom Watson has it backward: the 'eternal shame and embarrassment' come when Labour, swallowing whatever pride it has left, meekly submits to being harassed and blackmailed by a foreign power and its vulgar propagandists. Jeremy Corbyn, it seems, is gearing up to do just that. Chalk one up for Goebbels." |

The eight MPs have indicated that they will not run in by-elections, and for good reason: it is highly unlikely they would stand a chance of winning in any of their current constituencies outside the Labour Party. |

Given the gravity of allegations of anti-semitism, the role performed by the BBC is all the more critical if it is to live up to Reithian principles of informing the public." |

I suppose someone will say that it is anti-Semitic to say so?" |
| Document:UK Labour Party is right to drop racist IHRA guidelines of anti-Semitism | Article | 6 August 2018 | The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Anti-Semitism definition guidelines the Labour Party are correctly omitting, are designed by Israeli propagandists to aid their many mass lobby attempts to stop international solidarity with the Palestinians and to deny Palestinians the right to express the nature of Israel’s 70 years of violence and racism towards them. |
