"The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights defines anti-Semitism as “rhetorical and physical manifestations directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities. Such manifestations could also target the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity, but criticism of Israel similar to that levelled against any other country cannot be regarded as anti-Semitic.”"
