The decision to ban the host of Ireland's Holocaust Memorial Day event from mentioning Israel has been condemned by organisations around the world.
The JC revealed last week that Holocaust Educational Trust Ireland (HETI) had instructed the master of ceremonies at January's national memorial not to refer to Israel.
The decision sparked a furious reaction. Moshe Kantor, European Jewish Congress president, said: "The idea of censoring the realisation of Jewish national liberation when discussing the attempted genocide of the Jewish people is obscene and warped."
The Board of Deputies said in a statement that it deplored the decision.
