Inquiry into Edinburgh U’s ties to slave trade recommends it drop IHRA antisemitism definition
2025-07-28
The connection makes no sense.
[IsraelTimes] An inquiry into the University of Edinburgh’s connections to the transatlantic slave trade has recommended that the institution unadopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism.

The inquiry, which made 47 recommendations, says the definition silenced “free conversation” about Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank. It also suggested the university sell off its investments in companies that have significant links to the Israeli government.

The IHRA definition of antisemitism has been adopted by groups and governments worldwide, but is contested because it covers some examples of anti-Israel rhetoric, such as denying the Jewish people the right to self-determination.
Because the only people among all the peoples of the Earth who must not to have the right of self-determination is the Jews? We know what you are, even if you are insistently blind to it.
The inquiry, commissioned by the university’s principal, Sir Peter Mathieson, found the Scottish capital’s university played an “outsized” role in the forming of racist pseudoscience and profited off slavery.

#4  Israel will have to take back Sinai (third time, is a charm) and deport Arabs from Gaza & West bank - to make place for European Jews.

#3  Yeah, these things always get their wires crossed when they get repeated like a game of telephone. It's called memetic mutation.

#2  Utter nonsense, of course, which is why it didn’t occur to me. Thank you, Elmomoter Mussolini9149.

#1  This is the antisemitic conspiracy theory popular among American blacks that "Jews owned the slave ships".
