The student government at the University of Georgia has adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of anti-Semitism.

The resolution was approved unanimously on Tuesday, one day before International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 27.

The IHRA definition says: “Anti-Semitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of anti-Semitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”

The resolution also called on the university as a whole to adopt the definition.

CENTCOM carries out seventh consecutive night of strikes on Iran; two U.S. service members killed in Jordan.
Another American service member is missing in action.
The terrorists were spotted operating drones and taking cover near IDF soldiers.
The Muslim woman, originally from Malaysia, spoke out about her experiences working with the ICC chief prosecutor.
Already in a letter from 1919 held at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, the future dictator called for “the removal of the Jews altogether.”
The New York mayor said he is engaged in “an active conversation” with his Law Department on whether he can detain the Israeli premier.
