      Both made valid points.

      However, the bigger issue is RTE inviting boy George on as a guest

    3. Embarrassed-Brief976 on

      All I get from this is boy George sounds like a dickhead.

      >Holocaust Awareness Ireland – which is a group founded by the son of a Holocaust survivor, said that Kielty had shown a “singular lack of empathy when speaking about Jews”, and posited the question of whether Kielty had been “corrupted” by the “RTÉ hive mind where the narrative around the issue of Israel and Jews is disturbingly unbalanced?”. 

      RTÉ, in a statement issued today, put forward that Kielty had said that the attacks took place against the backdrop of the horrors in Gaza, but at no point did he say “that there was any justification for the attacks whatsoever”. 

      WTF type of accusataion is that? The RTE ‘hive mind’ ????

      He differentiated between Israel and Jews as a whole. You can hate one but also like the other.

      BAsed not he Boy George quotes, i am almost annoyed for the first time ever, that i didnt watch a late late show interview. It read as very …… old scholl Gay Byrne typa stuff.

      Very well handeled on host and guest imho.

      Breathing oxygen is probably going to be anti Semitic by 2030 tbf….

      Are they similarly vocal about the absolute disgusting behaviour of the Jews in Israel. I doubt it

    7. fakeblondeponytail on

      I’d the unfortunate experience of opening a thread of yer man George on twitter and just absolute unhinged nonsense, how he sits and in any way clings to any ‘Irish’ in himself is almost laughable.

      Of course, The Journal fails to mention that three people were attacked that day, not just the two Jewish men. The third victim was Muslim. But I suppose the facts need to be amended to fit the narrative.

      Even the BBC sometimes mentions the 3rd victim. [https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3r2lr434wlo](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3r2lr434wlo)

      > He went on to say that he knows lots of amazing Jewish people, and said “if you don’t know any Jewish people maybe that’s the problem”, and then turned to the audience and said “do you know any Jewish people?”. 

      Isn’t there only like 6000 jews in Ireland total?

      You mean Boy George who handcuffed a male escort to a wall and then beat him with a chain? The victim barely escapes nearly naked and boy george served 4 months in prison. How Boy George is still allowed be in front of a camera is a disgrace! Shame on RTE for having this disgusting animal anywhere near a studio.

      The boy who cried wolf. Anti semitism has lost all meaning literally to the extent where people even question what this “semitism” even is

    18. Tenvsvitalogy on

      I mean Boy George did handcuff a male escort to a wall and beat him with a chain so he shouldn’t be any where near our screens.

    19. Ok_Resolution9737 on

      I had to go watch the video and what are they on about? Seems like a set up to promote BG after he was criticized for signing that ridiculous letter.

    20. Asleep_Chart8375 on

      For those who missed it:

      There were *three* victims in the Golders Green attack. The first victim is Muslim, the other 2 are Jewish.

    21. ElectricalFox893 on

      Sorry. Hang on. The guy who handcuffed a sex worker to a radiator and beat him with a bicycle chain was on the late late. Why? Empathy… yes, do tell.

    22. Away-Parsnip-3785 on

      This all makes me so sad.

      Irish and Jewish people used to share in being everyone’s punching bags.

    23. [deleted] on

      Someone should start a Palestinian Genocide Awareness Group to counter this insane bullshit. 

    24. Justread-5057 on

      It’s a lack nuance for sure. Being forced to one side is never an answer. Boy George was expressing his feelings which is always welcome but Israel is committing the g word.

    25. UncleRonnyJ on

      Holocaust Awareness Ireland is a one man operation (Oliver Sears) who isn’t even irish. He was born in London. He even describes himself as “non-Irish Jewish person living in Ireland”.

      He is very much outspoken on Irish politicians across the board criticizing Israel. This needs to be taken into consideration when reading this.

    26. Doggylife1379 on

      I’ll get downvoted for this, but people on this sub aren’t getting the point.

      Bringing up Israel when talking about jews getting stabbing in London is ridiculous and does show a complete lack of empathy.

      Everyone is talking about conflating Jews with Israel is obviously right, but also completely irrelevant. You don’t stab Jews whether they support Israel or not. Just like we don’t stab any other group for who they support or not.

    27. Attention_WhoreH3 on

      by equating Zionism with Judaism, Boy George himself is being anti-Jewish 

      And so too are the lobby groups, many of whom are funded by Tel Aviv

    28. ghostofgralton on

      Very happy that RTÉ responded robustly in Kielty’s defence. This sort of nonsence needs to be shut down

    29. Kbanana on

      It seems like there a tonne of these groups around the world just waiting to tell a journalist how offended they are at the mere mention of Judaism. Unless everyone tows the Israeli government line youre an anti semite .Its exhausting

    31. Sweet_Ad_6572 on

      Was there not a Muslim man stabbed as well? Or is that just Twitter gossip? Seems like a big thing to omit when talking about the story. Obviously it’s horrendous and Jewish people in England are rightly feeling fearful at the minute.

    33. In_Their_Youth on

      No mention of the third man who was stabbed in the incident. Stabbed first, actually. Doesn’t suit the narrative.

    34. InevitableYard8820 on

      Fuck off. He responded as best he could. He’s a chat show host

    35. Necessary-Fudge-5264 on

      It’s a terribly cynical and effective cycle which Israel is exploiting.

      The Israeli state are by far and away the largest contributors to the current rise in antisemitism. The rise in genuine antisemistism is real, no doubt about that.

      What’s also real is the immense diluting of the phrase by pro-Israel groups (and I mean pro current Israeli policy, not that previous policy was close civilised either) labelling anything which is anti Israeli (barbaric) policy, antisemitism.

      Making anything and everything antisemic is fueling old tropes, grudges and conspiracy theories, which have always been there and now have had petrol thrown on them. This is useful to Israel to give more legitimacy to what they’re doing, and want to do.

      If I were Jewish I would be absolutely furious at the Israeli government for using my religion as a reason to justify their genocidal intent + actions.

      Kielty is just another person getting caught up in it all now unfortunately.

      Jewish Group are just Israeli propaganda and shouldn’t be trusted
