This working definition has been adopted by many nations so far including Canada, the United States and many European countries who were witnesses to the vilest anti-Semitism just seventy-five years ago. The United Nations and European Union support it. The IHRA definition of antisemitism states: \u201cAntisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and\/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.\u201d The definition also provides \u201ccontemporary examples of antisemitism in public life\u201d.
