Say NO to IHRA in New Jersey

New Jersey Zionists are pushing A3558, a dangerous bill that adopts the flawed IHRA definition of antisemitism to suppress our activism for Palestine. This bill aims to silence us and prevent the truth from being heard, but we won’t let them succeed!

Take action now! Use the action tool below to email the NJ Assembly Leadership and bill sponsors to oppose A3558. Let them know we will not back down—we are committed to defending our constitutional right to organize and advocate for Palestinian rights!

We just need few pieces of information to connect you with your representatives.

I'd like to receive updates from this organization

Subject: Oppose New Jersey Assembly A3558

Message:

Hello, I'm writing to urge you to oppose New Jersey Assembly A3558. The bill adopts the IHRA definition of Anti-Semitism, which conflates criticism of Israel with hate against Jewish people. The bill will weaponize allegations of antisemitism to advance a political agenda and suppress advocacy for Palestinian Human Rights. The IHRA definition has already hindered free speech on Palestinian advocacy in NJ. After the Camden County Commissioners adopted the definition, they stopped a high school walkout calling for justice in Gaza, alleging antisemitism. That is unacceptable. We echo the sentiments of our Jewish allies who demand that their faith, Judaism, not be conflated with the inhumane policies of Israel. While this definition claims to focus on the well-being of Jewish folx, seven of the 11 examples in the IHRA definition relate to Israel and criticism of Israel. Scholars and Advocacy organizations across the globe, even Israel's largest human rights group B'TSELEM, have disputed the IHRA definition. According to the ACLU, the most common targets of IHRA-based attacks have been university students, professors, and grassroots organizers over their speech and activism on Palestinian freedom. The ACLU has stated the IHRA definition has been used consistently (and nearly exclusively) to dangerously chill fundamental rights of free speech, freedom of assembly and protest, and academic freedom.” Our State government should absolutely care about combating Anti-Semitism; however, A83558 is a disingenuous effort to do so. Adopting this definition will be a liability and position New Jersey on the wrong side of history. I respectfully urge you to halt and oppose the advancement of A3558. Thank you for your consideration.
