A clear way to evaluate difficult language.
When something feels off, a label isn't enough.
You need to understand why.
Is This Antisemitism is built around a simple idea: when something feels wrong, people deserve more than a label.
Each assessment looks at the statement, the context available, and the patterns behind it. It asks a simple question: does this cross the line into antisemitism, might it depending on context, or does it not?
The goal is clarity. Not arguments, not slogans, just a grounded understanding of what's being said and what it means.
The Standard
Our approach is grounded in the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism.
That includes direct hostility, as well as patterns like conspiracy claims, dehumanizing stereotypes, Holocaust denial or distortion, collective blame, and narratives about hidden Jewish power.
It can also include some Israel-related language, when it relies on those same patterns, denies Jewish self-determination, or applies double standards.
At the same time, criticism of Israel or its policies is not automatically antisemitic.
That line matters.
How It Works
Context matters.
The same words can mean different things depending on where they appear and how they're used.
Facts matter.
When claims are central, available information is used to assess whether they are supported, contradicted, or unresolved.
Uncertainty matters.
Some cases are clear. Some are not. When context is missing or multiple interpretations are plausible, the result reflects that honestly.
