The IHRA definition of "antisemitism" is widely used - and very frequently criticised for being too broad. Some read it to mean that any criticism of Israeli policy is inherently antisemitic.
We are now seeing ever-growing numbers of Jewish, including Israeli, critics speaking out about Israeli policy (like the two you posted).
So, I'm saying it is time for IHRA to update their "working definition" so it can't be used to suppress policy criticism.
