Weren't we having a bit of a debate a while back over whether there is significant anti-Semitism in Ireland? I found a news article that says it is on the rise there. I wonder exactly why, though. Is it Israel's treatment of the Palestinians that is causing it, or the ancient Catholic prejudice towards the Jews? Ireland: Childhood home of pres. Herzog vandalized By GERALD STEINBERG Nazi swastikas and SS insignia have been daubed on the Herzog House, the residence of Israel's former chief rabbi Isaac Halevy Herzog when he was chief rabbi of Ireland and the house in which his son Chaim Herzog was raised, who later became Israel's sixth president. This month saw a number of similar cases of vandalism across Ireland. The gates of the Central Synagogue, the Jewish Museum, the home for Jewish Senior Citizens and the gates of the two Jewish cemeteries were scrawled with anti-Semitic symbols. News of the daubings have reached his grandson, Housing and Construction Minister Isaac Herzog. In light of the escalation of anti-Semitic incidents in Ireland, Herzog has lodged a complaint with Irish Ambassdor to Israel Patrick Hennessey, who expressed his own sharp condemnation of any form of racism. During his recent visit to Poland to participate in the March of the Living, Herzog met Irish Education Minister Mary Hanafin who told him that the Irish Government was determined to eradicate anti-Semitism. "I expect the Irish authorities to be more aware of what is happening so that these incidents of anti-Semitism can be nipped in the bud," said Herzog. The house has been the home of a prominent Irish journalist for several years. When former president Herzog went to Ireland on a state visit in 1985, he put up dedicated a plaque at the Herzog House's entrance. jpost.com
