If a country behaves as Israel has done while proclaiming itself an ethnostate, it follows that the people of that ethnicity are going to cop a lot of the blowback. It’s not fair on them but it is a predictable consequence.
Every institution that has adopted the IHRA definition of antisemitism will eventually recant, but will in the meantime do a lot of harm by its failure to recognise that it is acting as the agent of a foreign power.

"it [antisemitism] is a unique one [form of racism] that empowers all the others", argues Hartcher, without explaining how or why it is unique. It's so illogical that it can only be treated as an article of faith, not opinion. Which is fine, but faith is not a proper basis for either law or policy.
