He did. He was way out of his lane. Again.
It feels like he’s compelled to make himself the main character at any moment.
No matter ones stance on it can’t see anyone arguing against this.
Like bringing up politics at an event not about politics is ‘politicising’ that event, doesn’t matter what you actually say.
I thought Dana Erlich was recalled?
No way a politician could ever politicise something.
Yesterday Trump said that Gazans should be ethnically cleansed to Jordan and Egypt. The Israeli minister ~~Ben-Gvir~~ Smotrich called it a great idea. Meanwhile at an event to commemorate one of the worst ever destructions of a people, and to ensure we never forget what happened and how it happened, to make a reference to that conflict, even one calling for lasting peace, is called politicising.
Fucked up
How ironic, the Israeli ambassador saying that.
The term ‘politicising’ means absolutely nothing now. Love this modern media landscape.
IT’S THE HOLOCAUST, IT’S INHERENTLY POLITICAL
The absolute irony of visiting the site of the most horrific ideologically driven atrocity in human history right next to Nanking, and calling it “politicising” for criticising present governments at risk of following in the same path. This is precisely why he commemorate this day, to remind ourselves not to repeat the sins of the past.
Absolutely ridiculous complaint to raise against him
The Holocaust; famously an entirely non political atrocity.
Out of interest, has the ambassador had any comment on Musk? Aside form the salute, he spoke at a german far right rally on 2 days ago stating that germans need to stop feeling guilty about their past. How does that compare to anything Higgins has said?
So, the President spoke at a Holocaust memorial organised by the Holocaust Education Trust of Ireland, to remember the people who were murdered in a genocide. He referenced the ongoing genocide occurring between Israel and Gaza, and the Israeli ambassador and the Jewish Council in Ireland have issues with this???? You would think that they would fully understand the parallels drawn and agree that the genocide should stop.
Good
It is political.
The Israelis havent a leg to stand on after continuing to back Musk, every day the situation strays further into parody.
Does she have a direct line to RTE? The sooner she leaves the better, it’s a disgrace that they are closing the embassy instead of getting the boot out the door.
Israelis having a whinge again, are they. Shocking.
Accused of ‘politicizing’ the Holocaust, by a government that politicized the Holocaust and turned it into a weapon for _enabling a modern genocide_.
It’s important that we keep all discussions about the Holocaust apolitical, lest people start to notice any similarities between the rhetoric that was used to justify the extermination of jews, and rhetoric spewed by some contemporary figures.
Why is our media still giving that absolute ghoul Erlich’s remarks a shred of credibility? This is a spokeswoman for genocide politicising the event and slandering our president in the process.
