The world’s largest association of Christian communicators announced at its annual convention that it has adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) working definition of anti-Semitism.

“Fighting anti-Semitism is a key issue for believers, and it’s very important that our understanding of the issue reflects cultural realities,” said Troy A. Miller, CEO of the National Religious Broadcasters. “An accurate and contemporary definition of anti-Semitism helps us to recognize and combat this form of hatred wherever it emerges.”

NRB is a nonpartisan, international association of Christian communicators that has more than 1,100 member organizations, according to its website.

Its annual conference is currently taking place in Nashville, Tenn. The keynote speaker is Rev. Johnnie Moore, president of the Congress of Christian Leaders.

As in previous years, the event will include on Thursday a “Breakfast to Honor Israel,” and its theme this year is fighting anti-Semitism. The breakfast is co-sponsored by the Combat Antisemitism Movement, the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, NRBTV and Artza.

“No family should have to fight this hard to ensure a Jewish child’s safety at school,” James Pasch, vice president of litigation for the ADL, stated.
The partnership is an “indication that elected officials are taking seriously the unprecedented increase in anti-Jewish incidents occurring in schools across our country,” Brandy Shufutinsky of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies told JNS.
FOZ founder Mike Evans said he plans to urge Trump to recognize Somaliland, citing its growing ties with Israel and its decision to open an embassy in Jerusalem.
The former Missouri congresswoman stated that she has pledged to “bring an end to the U.S. military aid to Israel that enables genocide against Palestinians.”
The city’s police chief said that “in order to get paid, they are required to film their attacks.”
“This should worry every parent, teacher and policymaker,” the North American Values Institute stated.
