Summary

Proposed United States legislation which Kenneth S. Stern supports only if any mention of the IHRA definition, directly or indirectly, is first stripped out: so amended, it would help implement the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism with needed staffing and resources (Written Testimony of Kenneth S. Stern, PDF p.22, p.40).

Details

  • Stern names removing the IHRA definition from this Act among the things Congress should do that will actually help in the battle against antisemitism (PDF p.22).
  • At PDF p.39 the text says IHRA codification is designed to restrict speech in either the AAA or the CAA version; it does not expand “CAA” there, so it does not state at p.39 that the CAA version is this Act’s version.
  • The source also names the Act in the form “Combating Antisemitism Act” at PDF p.30; both names are recorded as printed on the source page.
