Los Angeles, CA -- The Los Angeles City Council unanimously passed a resolution endorsing the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.
"I'm glad to see today the LA City Council voted unanimously to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism," said Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA). "This is the same definition I pushed the U.S. Department of Education to use to enforce Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to protect Jewish students, as well as the one long used by the U.S. State Department."
I am outraged and disappointed by the decision of 14 student groups at the UC Berkeley School of Law to pass a bylaw that would effectively end Jewish participation in their organizations. This new bylaw, which bans the participation of speakers that "support Zionism", would prevent figures such as President Biden or Berkeley Law's own Dean Erwin Chemerinsky from speaking at these events simply because they believe that Israel has a right to exist.
