Prominent Irish politicians - including President Michael D Higgins and Simon Harris - have been accused of anti-Semitism drawing on the logic of the IHRA definition

"we could end up in a similar [absurd] situation as in Germany where criticism of Israeli government policy towards Palestinians, from public representatives or figures, researchers, schoolteachers, academics or campaigners, could be viewed as anti-Semitic" www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...
