Germany approves controversial definition of anti-semitism

GERMANY’S cabinet approved a new definition of anti-semitism yesterday that includes criticism of Israel.

Officials say the decision had no immediate legal implications but was intended to send a signal “that the German government strongly supports the fight against anti-semitism at all levels.”

The European Jewish Congress applauded the decision, which follows a similar move by Britain, Austria and Romania.
