Amid anti-Israel hostility, Irish Jews are reporting instances of antisemitism in public schools. A recent incident involved an Irish lawmaker handing out 'Free Palestine' bracelets to students, causing discomfort for Jewish students. A report by education monitoring group IMPACT-se also revealed distortions of the Holocaust, Israel, Judaism, and Jewish history in Irish textbooks. The report stated that misrepresentations of historical facts can perpetuate narratives challenging Israel's legitimacy. The Chief Rabbi of Ireland noted that Israel is frequently demonized in Irish public discourse, contributing to a rise in antisemitic rhetoric.
