Village of Great Neck, New York adopts International Definition of Antisemitism

The Village of Great Neck in the State of New York has adopted the International Definition of Antisemitism.

The village’s Mayor said that it was “an important message to give”, adding: “Obviously there has been a significant rise in antisemitism with all of the discussions and writings that people make on social media as well as different channels…I think it’s important to really speak in a unified voice against antisemitism or any other racism.”

The Village of Great Neck has a large Jewish population, with a 2013 report citing Jews as making up 71% of the wider Great Neck peninsula.

Campaign Against Antisemitism applauds the decision. Britain was the first country in the world to adopt the International Definition, something for which Campaign Against Antisemitism and Lord Pickles worked hard over many meetings with officials at Downing Street. Earlier this month, we reported that South Korea had adopted the Definition.

Campaign Against Antisemitism has expanded our coverage of antisemitism worldwide. Please contact us if you would like to share feedback or volunteer to assist with this project.
