SRes 254 is a non-binding resolution that encourages federal, state, and local government entities, as well as academic institutions, civil society organizations, and other relevant stakeholders, to “adopt and exclusively utilize” the distorted IHRA definition of antisemitism. The IHRA definition conflates criticism of Israel with anti-Jewish discrimination and has been deployed primarily to silence and punish advocacy for Palestinian rights.
