Huntington City Council adopts International Definition Antisemitism
Huntington City Council has adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism.
The West Virginia city’s Mayor, Steve Williams, said: “Antisemitism is on the rise. I thought these days were behind us, and it’s necessary for us to speak up and say where we stand.”
Campaign Against Antisemitism applauds the decision, which demonstrates Huntington City’s solidarity with the Jewish community.
Britain was the first country in the world to adopt the Definition, something for which Campaign Against Antisemitism and Lord Pickles worked hard over many meetings with officials at Downing Street.
Huntington City Council joins a growing list of international organisations and national, provincial and local governments around the world to use the Definition.
