definitions of antisemitism

Features of definitions

We coded each definition of antisemitism in our list, from governments, legislatures, courts, international bodies, community organisations, churches and scholars, for 30 features in four groups: what antisemitism is, its classic forms, Israel and Zionism, and the form and legal status of the text. For each feature the coder recorded whether the text names it, does not mention it, or states that it is not antisemitism, and copied the passage relied on.

Two coders read each text separately. The value shown is the first coder's, unless a later reading of the text after a disagreement changed it. Where we could read only an excerpt of a copyrighted work, we coded the passage in which the author defines or describes antisemitism. A feature that a text does not mention may still be part of its author's view elsewhere.
