Los Angeles City Council adopts definition of antisemitism amid rise in hate incidents

November 2, 2022

LOS ANGELES — With antisemitism cases on the rise — and after a public display of antisemitic signs in LA, inspired by recent remarks of Kanye West — the Los Angeles City Council has adopted a definition of antisemitism to aid law enforcement and public officials in identifying and monitoring such hate incidents.

Council members on Tuesday (Nov. 1) approved the definition — which is not legally binding — from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance that supporters, during the meeting, said is an important step in combating antisemitism. Not all agreed, though.
