SHUT UP, IRELAND!

Ireland is one of the most anti-Israel and antisemitic nations in the world.

It makes no sense, as neither Jews nor Israelis have ever done any harm to Ireland or the Irish.

Meanwhile, right-wing racist gangs commit violent assaults on immigrants in the streets of Dublin, and Irish leadership wants to talk about Israel!

Memo to Ireland: Pay attention to the racist attacks in your country, and tell your moronic leader to stop calling kidnapped children “lost.”

Ireland may not be the perfect nation to lecture on how to get along with neighbors of a different religion. And if they are telling Israel to move to a one state solution, they ought to try doing it themselves first.

I was there in May, when there was an assault on a refugee site. The Irish government did nothing in response. These days it’s a daily occurrence, with racist attacks carried out by right-wing nationalist groups, and a minor form of martial law being imposed to protect immigrants. So maybe Ireland should clean up their own backyard before telling others what to do.

(Let me say that I found the Irish to be wonderful, and experienced no anti-Israel or antisemitic views. As in America, most people are anything but crazed extremists
