The International Legal Forum (ILF) launched an online "Dictionary of Terms" on the third anniversary of October 7 to counter the alleged misuse of legal terminology by anti-Israel activists. Led by CEO Michal Cotler-Wunsh, the resource aims to reclaim terms like "genocide" and "apartheid" by providing their legal definitions and historical context. The ILF, a network of 4,000 lawyers, hopes the dictionary will combat a "war of words" and is accessible to the general public.
