State legislatures across the country seek to quash free speech, violate academic freedom, and promote anti-Palestinian racism by codifying the erroneous IHRA definition of antisemitism. Professor Sahar Aziz joined Dr. Raz Segal, a Holocaust and genocide studies scholar, in a panel on how the erroneous IHRA definition of antisemitism is promoted by pro-Israeli Zionist special interest groups seeking to shield Israel from political criticism, in violation of First Amendment prohibitions of viewpoint-based state regulation of speech.
The two experts also explain how such legislative efforts coercively censor criticism of the foreign state of Israel and the political ideology of Zionism, and in turn erase Palestinian experiences, history, and culture.
