🇧🇷🇮🇱❌💬📖 — The State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ) has decided to adopt the definition of antisemitism from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA)

➡️ The agreement was negotiated by Conib (Confederation of Israeli Brazil), Fierj (Israelite Federation of the State of Rio de Janeiro), and lawyer Daniel Bialski. Additionally, there is centralization and coordination by the Zionist NGO Stand With Us Brazil [@StandwithusBr].

✔️ The IHRA definition was approved by the US House of Representatives. It is criticized by civil rights groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union for potentially curtailing criticisms of Israel by equating them with antisemitism.

🚫 The definition, advocated by Israeli entities, includes any mention of Jews being involved in the death of Jesus. The following passages from the Bible will be discouraged in the state for official circulation, electoral dissemination, and socio-political speeches:

Matthew 2:13, Matthew 12:14, Matthew 26:4, Matthew 26:59, Matthew 27:22, Matthew 27:23, Mark 11:18, Mark 15:13, Mark 15:14, Luke 13:31, Luke 23:21, Luke 23:23, John 5:18, John 7:1, John 7:19, John 8:37, John 8:40, John 8:59, John 10:31, John 11:8, and John 11:53.

❗️ The adherence of the State of Rio de Janeiro to the IHRA definition of antisemitism is purely symbolic. The decree has no legal value, does not create new laws, or impose obligations on the State.
