<\/a>SCOOP: Dominican Republic adopting IHRA working definition of Jew-hatred<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nMike Wagenheim<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The Dominican Republic said on Monday night that it is adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance\u2019s working definition of Jew-hatred, JNS has learned.<\/span><\/p>\n V\u00edctor Bison\u00f3, the country\u2019s foreign minister, made the announcement, which makes it the seventh Latin American state to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n Argentina holds the sole IHRA full member status in Latin America. Six other Latin American countries have previously adopted the IHRA\u00a0definition<\/u><\/a><\/span>: Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama and Uruguay.<\/span><\/p>\n The Latin American and Caribbean Parliament, a consultative assembly made up of national parliamentarians that represents 23 countries, has also adopted the definition.<\/span><\/p>\n The IHRA definition provides guidance for recognizing when criticism crosses the line into Jew-hatred by applying double standards, denying the Jewish people\u2019s right to self-determination or using classic antisemitic tropes.<\/span><\/p>\n Estimates vary of the number of Jews living in the Dominican Republic from 100 to 3,000. The country holds a unique place in Jewish history as the first sovereign country that offered to accept mass Jewish immigration prior to and during the Holocaust.<\/span><\/p>\n It was the only country in the 1940s that offered asylum to a significant number of Jewish refugees, stating it would accept up to 100,000. The great majority never made it.<\/span><\/p>\n The country\u2019s agriculture industry has deep Jewish ties, with kibbutzniks in then British Mandatory Palestine brought on to help the Dominican town of Sos\u00faa. The country\u2019s biggest producer of milk and cheese was founded by Holocaust refugees.<\/span><\/p>\n There are only two synagogues in the country\u2014neither with a permanent rabbi. A Jewish cemetery, charity and mikveh still operate there, along with several Jewish organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n The Dominican Republic has previously engaged with the Combat Antisemitism Movement and the Israel Allies Foundation to review its potential adoption of the IHRA definition.<\/span><\/p>\n JNS sought comment from the Dominican Republic foreign ministry and from both Jewish groups.<\/span><\/p>\n A source told JNS that the United States is working closely with the government of Argentina to bring more Latin American countries into the IHRA fold, and that progress is expected to be made public soon.<\/span><\/p>\n Globally, 46 national governments have adopted the definition, along with dozens of U.S. states and more than 1,000 global entities. Just last year, 67 entities worldwide\u00a0adopted<\/u><\/a><\/span>\u00a0the IHRA definition, a 97.1% increase from the 34 adoptions recorded the previous year, according to the Combat Antisemitism Movement.<\/span><\/p>\n The source said the Dominican Republic adoption of IHRA is due to the efforts of the Combat Antisemitism Movement, along with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Yehuda Kaploun, a rabbi and the State Department\u2019s special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism.<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> SCOOP: Dominican Republic adopting IHRA working definition of Jew-hatred Mike Wagenheim The announcement on Monday night places the country seventh on the list of Latin American states adopting the widely used working definition.
