What is anti-Semitism? EU racism agency unable to define term

Surprising (to me) as this work by the EU was fundamental to many in having a working definition of antisemitism over the past years, and the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) formally adopted this definition at the Toronto plenary meeting this fall (Working Definition).

The actual text adopted by IHRA, in contrast to the earlier version of the EU, kept a narrow definition of antisemitism, dropping any reference to linkages between antisemitism and anti-Isreali positions.
