UK doctors want antisemitism definition scrapped

The British Medical Association has called for the scrapping of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, arguing it could have a 'chilling effect on political speech. ' This stance has drawn condemnation from various Jewish medical groups and Holocaust educators, who emphasize the importance of the definition in combating antisemitism.

The debate reflects ongoing tensions regarding the interpretation and application of antisemitism in political contexts in the UK.
