Attivisti filo-palestine irlandesi abbracciano il termine “paddystinian” come distintivo d’onore

Who?

> Ben Cohen, a columnist for the Jewish News Syndicate, wrote that he initially regretted making a quip about Paddystinians because Paddy was an ageing pejorative about drunkenness and other Irish stereotypes.

“As it turns out, I needn’t have worried,” he wrote. “I discovered that the hashtag #Paddystinian was being eagerly adopted on social media by Irish supporters of Hamas. The accompanying posts were variously obnoxious or downright stupid, with many of those mocking the assertion that their country is antisemitic.”

literally used a derogatory term about Irish people lied about being sorry about it and is now calling them hamas supporters. A tribunal and the hangman’s noose won’t come quick enough for him and his ilk.

Such a stupid article, making a mountain out of a hashtag I’ve barely seen used in pro Palestine support. About as much insight as you could expect from the guardian these days
