Yad Vashem chief: All antisemitic calls must be off-limits, not only calls for genocide

The head of the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial says that “even if it becomes set now that calls for genocide of Jews are prohibited in US universities, we must remember that this is a very low bar that we shouldn’t be satisfied with.”

Dani Dayan’s statement comes following the resignation of University of Pennsylvania president Liz Magill, after she drew outrage by refusing to say calls for the genocide of Jews go against its rules.

“Antisemitic calls of any kind — not only for the mass murder of Jews — must be off-limits,” Dayan says on X.
