It’s given Israel ammunition they can point out over all of our decisions.
The proposal literally had “Palestine Park” as the alternative- for what? To fuck with Alan Shatter?

Vox Populi, Vox Dei… unless the yanks and the Israelis object.
Apparently Irish communities now need international permission to make local decisions.

When will shinners learn that performative politics, can actually have negative real world consequences. Its shit like this that undermines Ireland’s position on Palestine and makes us stink of being antisemitic rather than being just sympathetic to the plight of innocent humans being killed, thank goodness that it was withdrawn, there is no similar solidarity with the people of Ukraine, and there certainly is no solidarity with the poor people of Sudan who are also subject to genocide, yet radio silence from Parnell square.

The people putting forward suggestions like this need their bank accounts audited. Outrageous nonsense.

Irish government bending over to please Isreal and the US yet again? No way.

Mother fuckers can’t even remove a plaque without bowing to pressure

This is the fakest controversy I’ve ever seen the Irish press run with. Absolutely no one cares one bit

Can we not pick a prolific Jewish Irish figure who doesn’t have such deep ties to an apartheid state?

Smart move. Then he can claim that he isn’t anti-Semitic, just anti-Israel. Renaming the park is basically an anti-Semitic act. Herzog himself can’t be blamed for the current Israeli leadership

One major account on Twitter/X i saw pushing the name change hard has his account location based in fecking Indonesia. People complain about Americans etc commenting among the right wing of Irish politics…but the left wing of it has its own share of it.

I Suspect a surprising number of Chaim Herzog biographers are about to crawl out of the woodwork. I will learn many things. Will any of it be true? No idea

Good. Fully condemn what Israel is doing to the Palestinian people but this had nothing to do with that, is a wast of time, a distraction from doing sometimes meaningful, and fuel for spurious accusations of antisemitism from the usual suspects.

Good it’s just people trying to make themselves feel better.

Complete waste of time and money

This type of dumb shit just gives ammunition to the Israel government, enabling them to dismiss every valid criticism Ireland makes as antisemitic bla bla bla

Foolish to think our government would allow this to go through. Would require a non obsequious type possessed of spine.

Maybe we should make more new parks around Dublin and name them after Rhodesian’s, members of the apartheid South African regime, and Loyalist gun men too while we are at it
