Kenneth Stern, who authored the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance antisemitism definition, told Zeteo in an exclusive interview that the definition has become "so poisoned I wouldn't use it." Stern, who describes himself as a Zionist, cautioned against deploying the definition to suppress pro-Palestine speech.
The definition, adopted by numerous governments and institutions, includes examples linking antisemitism to criticism of Israel. Stern has rejected the way his definition has been applied beyond its original intent as an educational tool for Holocaust researchers.
