The fight against antisemitism is a shared responsibility that unites all Canadians in which New Democrats are strongly committed. Our country must work tirelessly to eliminate antisemitism from our society.

Since the adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism by the Liberal government, New Democrats and progressive Jewish organizations, including the Progressive Israel Network, New Israel Fund of Canada, Independent Jewish Voices Canada and human rights groups, have raised concerns about its capacity to silence legitimate criticism of state institutions and their actions. Notably, Kenneth Stern, the original drafter of the IHRA definition, raised similar concerns, arguing that the weaponization of the definition had threatened free expression and the open exchange of constructive ideas.

Antisemitism is an evil that must be confronted head-on. In doing so, we must ensure that in our fight against racism and hate, we do not inadvertently undermine the values of freedom of expression and efforts to counter other forms of hate, including anti-Palestinian racism. By adopting a more balanced approach that safeguards democratic freedoms, we can build a Canada that is free of antisemitism and protect the rights of all its citizens.

The party of anti-semitism?
