"Here's what Maurice Cohen, chair of the #Jewish Representative Council, gets that a lot of us don't: #antiSemitism doesn't arrive with a #swastika armband and a manifesto. It seeps in through the gaps in our moral certainty. It sounds like a #Jordanian #doctor refusing to treat a #Jewish #woman in an #Irish hospital. It looks like #graffiti calling to '#KillJews' in #Dublin streets. It feels like a Jewish family being driven out of #Killorglin after five years because their neighbours decided being Jewish made them unwelcome.

Now, I can already hear the protests - That's not anti-Semitism, that's legitimate highlighting of #Israeli policy. Except - and this is crucial - it's not. A Jewish woman in #Cork awaiting a #Csection didn't create #Netanyahu's coalition government. A family in Killorglin didn't vote for Israeli #settlements. A child in a Dublin playground didn't authorise any military action. They're just Jewish. And we're making them pay for that."
