Summary
A United States-based organisation which, in Kenneth S. Stern’s accounts in both his 2017 and 2025 testimonies, praised the cancellation of an “Israel Apartheid Week” event under the IHRA definition in the United Kingdom and urged other universities and countries to follow suit (Written Testimony of Kenneth S. Stern, PDF p.4, p.27-28).
Details
- Of the University of Central Lancashire decision the Center said it offered firm evidence the IHRA definition could play a vital role in the fight against antisemitism, in the passage Stern quotes in Appendix A (PDF p.27-28).
- Stern cites the praise as evidence that the definition is used to suppress speech, a use he opposes although he is no fan of Israel Apartheid Week (PDF p.4).
