Authorities and civil society groups have reported a worldwide surge in anti-Semitism since the Israel-Hamas October, with notable rises in anti-Semitic incidents in France, Germany, the US, Canada and the UK. In Vienna, where Jews were once persecuted, a Jewish cemetery was recently burned, while in France, anti-Semitic incidents have nearly tripled in number compared to last year.

But what about here in Ireland – a country that has been labelled by some as anti-Semitic due to its pro-Palestinian sentiment and criticism of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.

To find out Sorcha Pollak gets the perspectives of two members of Ireland's Jewish community.

Presented by Sorcha Pollak. Produced by John Casey and Declan Conlon.
