Presidente Higgins: “Se critichi le politiche di Netanyahu, sei allora descritto come antisemita. Questa è una vergogna e una calunnia.”

Here’s the full 5-minute segment on YouTube: [President Higgins says that criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu policies are not anti-semitic – RTÉ News](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S6800c8fWY) (May 29, 2025)

From the description:
*President Michael D Higgins has said that accusations of anti-semitism against those who criticise the policies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amount to “slander against Ireland”.* 

*Speaking at Bord Bia Bloom in Phoenix Park, President Higgins said a propaganda campaign against Ireland is active in the United States.*

*He also said that Irish people are among the best-informed people with regards the situation in the Middle East.*

*He said this can be attributed in part to families who sent sons and daughters on peacekeeping missions to Lebanon and elsewhere and who returned and spoke the truth.*

*In the Dáil, the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Harris has clashed with Independent TD Catherine Connolly over the Government’s response to the war in Gaza.* 

When gets going, he’s fucking great! https://youtu.be/B5OWRRJh-PI?si=phuA1XwDM-gRwLDq

Anyone who looks at what they’re doing in Gaza and thinks that’s ok, is a psychopath. I scratch my head at conservatives in America who oppose abortion as they think its murder , but then support the slaughter of tens of thousands of children in Gaza.
