Irish politicians and campaigners have accused Israel of a deliberate attempt to “smear Ireland” and trying to silence the government’s legislative agenda aimed at protecting Palestinian lives.
On Sunday, Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar announced the closure of the Israeli embassy in Dublin, claiming the decision was due to Ireland’s “extreme anti-Israel policies” and “antisemitic rhetoric”.
Lynn Boylan, Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for Sinn Féin, has dismissed Israel’s accusations and believes the move is a tactic to dissuade Ireland from enacting the upcoming Occupied Territories Bill, which would criminalise trade with illegal settlements.
Once again pulling the oldest card in thr book with the antisemitism. It’s not antisemitic to not condone racial and ethic genocide.
Israel loves, and has been very successful in, playing the victim. Reality is, however, that a victim doesn’t send >1000 rockets into a tightly packed state with women and children everyday.
The real anti-antisemitism is the genociders who are mass murdering children because of their ethnicity claiming that their actions represent all Jews and hence criticizing them is anti-semitic.
Even in their use of “If you criticize what you do you’re criticizing our race” arguments the Zionists are the closest to Nazis there is in the present day.
Thank you. Israel does not and has never represented me.
That’s an interesting angle to look at it from, never considered that - good point.
