The nefarious, prejudicial and deeply-flawed IHRA ‘definition’ of antisemitism, pt 1 by Proletarian Radio

Ranjeet Brar | 1 May 2026

Dr Ranjeet Brar, general secretary of the CPGB-ML and consultant vascular surgeon, writes on his experience of the enforcement of the IHRA ‘definition of antisemitism’ and its deeply troubling consequences.

Why has this definition taken on such importance in our society, and how is it being used to criminalise anti-zionist speech, despite not having any legal force?

The IHRA ‘definition of antisemitism’ seeks to label legitimate criticism of the criminal and genocidal policies and actions of the Israeli state as ‘racist’ – and therefore to outlaw the legitimate resistance of the Palestinian people and the anti-imperialist movement which supports that resistance.
