Americans for Peace Now strongly condemns the passage of H.R. 6090, the Antisemitism Awareness Act, and urges
the Senate to decline to consider this measure. This misguided bill would codify the International Holocaust
Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism, which conflates antisemitism with legitimate
criticism of the policies and actions of the Israeli government. The lead drafter of IHRA, Kenneth Stern,
has warned
against using it as a cudgel against the millions of Americans, including many Jewish Americans,
who object to the Netanyahu government’s decisions and actions.
