| Summary: | The paper examines Peter Ullrich’s expert opinion on the IHRA definition. It reviews his rejection of the definition in the conflict over a viable and complex definition of antisemitism. Ullrich does not sufficiently appreciate the first international definition of antisemitism and has an undefined concept of Israel-related antisemitism. Moreover, he does not make his own positioning in the recurring controversies surrounding contemporary antisemitism adequately transparent. His expertise should be interpreted as both a scientific and a political intervention. |
