  1. “I considered burning my Irish passport. It was a fleeting thought, I admit. I can be dramatic. It’s in the Irish blood, I suppose”

  2. Burning your passport in protest at people protesting the killing of kids and mothers.

    x Confirmed Irish

  3. Just over a century ago we rebelled against our colonial oppressors.

    Just a few decades ago we resorted to a campaign of terror in our fight for civil rights and to end apartheid up in the North.

    But no, us Irish are just blissfully ignorant drama queens with no experience of ever having dealt with anything like this before.
    Only the Israeli-Irish can know anything of war.

  4. > Today, there are 5 million living in the West Bank and Gaza. **There are also over 2 million Arabs living in Israel, with the same rights as any Jewish citizen.**

    Bullshit propaganda 

  5. Please do burn it, Mossad might use it to assassinate someone otherwise. 

  6. Not a single mention of settlers. Usual, “it’s a complex situation, you can’t protect Ireland-uk onto it” to put down any dissent. The problem itself isn’t complex, it’s finding a solution that’s complex. Fox, chicken, grain problem isn’t complex to describe, but the solution is (mildly, but that’s known to have a solution). Irish people know a land grab and plantation when we see it, this lad from Roscommon should read a bit of his own local history. These settlers are just tightening the deadlock in the region, to the extent that there’ll be no solution that doesn’t involve a either a genocide, ethnic cleansing, civil war in Israel.

  7. John, head off there now and burn your Irish passport. Stay in Israel. Don’t come back.

  8. “Irish people supporting a genocide don’t like criticism of the genocide back in Ireland”

    Great news story

  9. Did anyone cop that passport burner and writer of the piece are the same person, I guess he could only sell the article if he somehow made it dramatic.

  10. “guys look at what I said to Irish Media, guys, I’m not like them, ament I a good little fellow. Guys.. guys.”

  11. I would be delighted if he did. He’s a disgrace to this nation

  12. Nooooo don’t burn your passport…

    Write to the DFA and renounce your citizenship.

    Unless you’re only doing it for attention, you quisling fuckweasel.

  13. The most interesting aspect of the article is that all of the talking points brought up are a function of Israeli domestic propaganda.

  14. Just remembered my passport is up for renewal. Sound for the reminder!

  15. Please do so we don’t have to bother with taking it off you. Nobody associated with the genocidal force of our time should be here or should have our passports or our recognition.

  16. Don’t burn it! Mossad have a recycling service. Google ‘Mossad Irish Passports’ for more info

  17. Plenty of mention of October 7th, not a single line of mention for the ongoing slaughter in Gaza.

    Self-serving shite. Burn the passport.

  18. >Since people in Ireland seem to have little time to understand the complexities of the conflict here,  

    Don’t you condescend me man….

    But seriously, wtf. Just dismiss anyone who disagrees with you as having little time to understand the complexities. What an ass. 

  19. Pretty sure if he tried to burn his passport it would be with the same competence and ability as those EDF guys who tried to burn an EU flag a few years back.

  20. There is absolutely never a justification to target civilians, women and children. Never. Yes, it’s simplistic. Can’t be more clearer and simple as that.
