B'Tselem is a human rights monitor. This rhetoric echoes the likes of the Nazis. One can imagine a human rights monitor in 1930s Germany facing this persecution in mainstream media.
Another Israeli slander piece about Ireland. Obsession manifest.
Such egregiously deep-rooted, comical delusion that if not for its infestation being so palpably ubiquitous, the only response for any one of rational mind and empathic conscience would be to assume it’s a sadistic satire.
I'll take no morality lessons from a country that, upon hearing of Adolf Hitler’s death in April 1945, the Irish government, led by Taoiseach Éamon de Valera, drew international attention and controversy by offering formal condolences to Germany. De Valera visited the German ambassador in Dublin to express sympathy over Hitler’s death.
Or from people applauding the bombing of innocent women and children in the quest of Irish unification that was labelled “resistance” by terrorist apologists.
On VE Day, while the rest of Europe was celebrating, there were riots in Dublin between pro-Allied students at Trinity College and students from a rival college who were pro-Axis. If I recall correctly, the pro-Axis students went on to attack the UK embassy, breaking the windows. One of the leaders of the mob was Charles Haughey, future prime minister
It's been an open secret for years. I had a former middle school classmate who went to Ireland and was floored by the casual antisemitism of the older generation; she was Jewish.
The obsession with a situation thousands of miles away is not unique to Ireland, although it is (sorta) easy to understand their identification with the Palestinians.given their national, strong victimhood self-image.
Want to take the by or automatic loss because you don't want Israel to play in Ireland? Fine. Israel isn't going to voluntarily not play because the game will be disrupted by tennis balls--that's for the Irish to figure out. The Irish need to decide--do they want to play the Israelis or take a by or automatic loss everytime the Irish are scheduled to play the Israelis?
And it's pure antisemiticism because it is singling out Israel while there are so many other "examples" Ireland isn't protesting. But that's a dynamic going on in so many countries.
There is no genocide or apartheid in Gaza. Lies. As too the claim of "colonization." These lies are excuses in an attempt to put a moral face on what is immoral, which is Jew hatred that goes back over one thousand years. This interruption of the soccer match between Qatar and Ireland is akin to Iran's bombing of Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and to a lesser extent the UAE, to show their aggression towards Israel. It is a way of saying, unless you concur in our attacks on Israel and endorse it completely, we will attack you. It is akin to Spanish Jew haters halting the Vuelta E Spana bike race last summer, interfering with the Israel Pro Tech team but also other teams with no connection to Israel, to gain their animosity and anger directed towards the Israel affiliated team. The attackers are saying, "But for the inclusion of the Israel connected team, we would not be attacking you." It is a way of getting all the other teams to protest inclusion of the Israeli team, or else all other contests will be stopped.
Super well written and covers a lot of ground on the psyche of Ireland. I will add that as a visibly Jewish kid on the streets of Manhattan I had the sense that the Irish especially did not like us.
Verbose and loquacious.
I don't think saying Israel is better than the Khmer Rouge or Rwanda says what you think it says 😅

And each constituent part of the former Yugoslavia, is now a proud “ethno centric” state, like Ireland, Japan, and many others .
Criticizing Israeli government policy is not anti semitic, wanting to see the Jewish state wiped off the map, is!!
Yugoslavia isn't on any map. Netanyahu makes Milosevic look like a cub scout, Gaza makes Srebrenica look like a cub scout picnic.
wow... the delusion is strong with this one.

right.. because Israeli's are tossing tennis balls with union jacks during a match against Uzbekistan?
Correct! They’re too busy tossing bombs on innocents.
Do piss off, I have no time for Jew haters and their fantasies.

They are lost

It has much more to do with Catholic anti-semitism than British colonialism IMO. That's why it's also so bad in Spain and Italy.
It's been an open secret for years. I had a former middle school classmate who went to Ireland and was floored by the casual antisemitism of the older generation; she was Jewish.
It's also a whitewash for Irish anti-semitism.
What a dishonest argument - not a surprise.
