Trovo disgustoso e inquietante che un quotidiano nazionale israeliano abbia pubblicato questo articolo intitolato
“Perché gli irlandesi odiano gli ebrei”.
A parte il titolo provocatorio e la premessa del tutto falsa del pezzo – gli irlandesi non hanno problemi con gli ebrei ma sono critici nei confronti delle azioni illegali di Israele – è pieno di inesattezze e travisamenti sulla storia irlandese e sulla società irlandese odierna.
Un punto forte:
La guerra settaria tra protestanti e cattolici in Irlanda ha portato al ritardo sociale della loro cultura per quanto riguarda la religione. Sentono ancora nelle ossa il loro antico cristianesimo. E di conseguenza, le loro opinioni sugli ebrei sono più vicine a quelle dei cristiani medievali che a quelle dei cristiani moderni.
Forse non dovrebbe sorprendere che l’autore cerchi di inquadrare il conflitto come un conflitto basato esclusivamente sulla religione, in contrapposizione alla colonizzazione e all’occupazione: a Israele non piace ammettere questa parte. E ovviamente trascura di notare che molte persone in Irlanda oggigiorno non sono nemmeno religiose.
Ad ogni modo, è ancora un altro riflesso piuttosto triste di Israele e del suo continuo comportamento da piccolo stato canaglia.
Non riesco a immaginare un mezzo di comunicazione irlandese che permetta che una diatriba apertamente razzista e antiebraica venga pubblicata e spacciata per normale o accettabile.

This absolutely does not surprise me. The Times of Israel is basically a government mouth piece, and a rag.
Says a lot that their government imposed sanctions and a boycott on Haaretz.
Just ignore it. Don’t give them their rage clicks that they so desperately want. They’re always the victim and will change any narrative to make them the victims. That includes tribializing other peoples suffering.
When is propaganda ever true?
If we’re getting under the skin of the genociders we must be doing something right.
A shure would ye luk at ye, yer soaked true, sit down dere while I fetch ye a pint
It’s strange how Ireland is picked out when we’re not the only country with these stances. Spain has taken much of the same stances, they also “attempted to change the definition of genocide” (ie submitted their opinion on what the law actually means), yet I don\t think Israel Slingshot is running ads online about Spain over it, or even remotely suggesting they’ll close the embassy, just Ireland for whatever reason. Maybe because they can get away with it.

The Jews have a long history of anti Irishness, two significant examples being Benjamin Desrali former British PM around the famine and Lewis Charles Levin the leader of the anti Irish, anti Catholic know nothing movement in America that whipped up violence and hatred against Irish immigrants over there
Gentiles don’t get to decide what is and isn’t anti-Semitism. Same way white people don’t get to tell a black man what is and isn’t racist. Some of the despicable comments I’ve read against Jews (not Israelis – Jews) from Irish accounts on X with huge followings the past few days will haunt me for a long time.
Lisa Liel is a provocateur opposed to elucidator. She is not trying to be right, she is trying to get a headline and drive the conversation away from the facts of genocide.
This has been the entire policy so far. By using Ireland as an example, they can shift the conversation to the 1904 Limerick Pogram and De Valera while fully avoiding the current topic of Gazans and Palestinian lives.
This is part and parcel of the conversation. Expect it.
Seriously, fuck Israel and the horse they rode in on. Fuck them, cunts of the highest order.
Thanks for sharing, eloquently and fairly written….Jesus, had to edit there, I meant your post was eloquent, not that hateful shite you quoted from!
Worth a read, David McWilliams about the consequences for Israel if the EU applied sanctions on them
[I don’t think sanctions on Israel are imminent, but things can change quickly in times of war](https://www.davidmcwilliams.ie/post/i-don-t-think-sanctions-on-israel-are-imminent-but-things-can-change-quickly-in-times-of-war)
Basically, if the EU applied sanctions, Israel would have to pull in its horns, regardless of any US support.
