  1. But she said a public mood of hostility, which some Jews deem antisemitic, is making Israelis question their place in Ireland – a threat to tech services that account for the lion’s share of some $5 billion in annual trade between the countries.

    “We are getting more and more phone calls and conversations of concerned people – if it’s Israelis who invest in Ireland and are concerned about their investment, if it’s Israelis who have relocated to Ireland into different tech companies and either are requesting to be relocated somewhere else or asking to return to Israel,” Ms Erlich said.

    “I think it sends the wrong message about the location and the centrality of Ireland as a tech hub when there are more and more people who are concerned about moving to Ireland. I don’t think that this is the message that Ireland wants to send to the world… And this is not what we want to see.”

    Maybe they should have thought about that before bombing kids to bits. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

  2. Like imagine bombing thousands of kids , us saying stop we don’t agree with it and then trying to use economics to override mass murder . Its just beyond me. Like ya were bombing kids but think about our tech relations. Israel forgets the world pays them to be rich.

  3. This is really because of Eurovision, isn’t it?

    In fairness, they had a better song than us, but throwing their toys out of the pram and trying to destroy our tech sector because they finished behind Bambi Thug, and then dressing it up as retaliation for recognition of Palestine, is just a bit much. And this from a country that gave us Dana International.

  4. Thinly veiled attempt to buy our silence through financial incentives. She can go shite

  5. You know when your ma and da accidentally change the input on the TV and cant change it back?

    Mossad are doing that.

  6. Its all fun and games until they take chrome and make us use edge

  7. We should send Bambi Thug out as the Irish Ambassador to Israel. That’d be a bit of craic!

  8. “Israeli ambassador attempts to sabotage Irish economy”

  9. This is the kind of amateur hour diplomacy that you get from North Korea. How are they so bad at this?

  10. You know how a bully punches a little kid and then the little kid’s big brother shows up? We’re the little kid and we have TWO big brothers. Or rather, we have one brother in Brussels and one in America that’s actually a bunch of 3rd cousins who love us.

  11. Which of them would realistically move? Intel has spent so much on expanding the plant in Leixlip in recent years, it seems like it would be madness to throw that away. 

  12. So sick of these bullying bastards. Wish she and all of her bosses’ bosses would just fuck off. Is that anti-Semitic? No, it’s anti-supporting of a bunch of murdering cunts.

  13. We’ll see who’s laughing when they’ve saggy faces and limp cocks after we embargo the Botox and Viagra.

  14. Always with the threats, other than directly owned Israeli tech companies like Wix i highly doubt it will have too much of an impact.

    Can you imagine the political statement it would make if it did happen and also cutting off their nose to spite their face.

  15. Hah! How long did it take for them to threaten us with financial ruin? Couldn’t have seen that one coming 🤷🏻😅

  16. I think this gets to the depressing core with Israel. There’s plenty of people within Israel that are upset and frustrated with the war in Gaza, but its a political issue along with the economy or climate change or housing.

    I get the sense its more than just propaganda and veiled threats. Israelis see this as an issue dealt with by elections and politicing, and not the abhorrent crisis and genocide thats seen outside of Israel-Palestine.

  17. ‘Dana Erlich’ is actually Hebrew for ‘Septic Gowl’.
    She looks like a reject from a prayer group and nobody cares about her pathetic tantrum.

  18. Ireland can use its soft power to harass tech companies out of Israel, by threatening to tax them properly – which would affect their global revenue, due to so many headquarters being in Ireland.

    Ireland also has a highly unbalanced amount of regulatory power over major tech/social-media companies, due to headquartering here as well – which can be used to cut the balls off Israel’s international propaganda efforts.

    I’m against censorship in general – and the hate speech etc. and all similar laws are going to be horribly misused in the near future, to _support_ actions like Israel’s – yet technically, since this is a clear cut genocide, Ireland could strong-arm social media companies to completely censor all pro-genocide Israeli content off of ALL major social media and news platforms.

    Lets see how long hate-speech/censorship laws last _then_, when applied equitably.

  19. ‘Hey I kinda don’t like that more innocent people Vs Hamas members have been Killed by the IDF. I’d rather they tried other methods and didn’t rain hellfire down on civilians. What can be done differently to eradicate Hamas in a more specific, targeted way?’

    ‘YOU ARE ANTISEMITIC, EVIL, WANT TO KILL ME AND MY CHILDREN DON’T YOU?’ – average Israeli response.

  20. Grand good luck installing your own data centres in the desert.

  21. >”There are many similarities between Ireland and Israel that I’m curious to learn more about – if it’s a reviving of an ancient language, if it’s the diaspora, if it’s the different scenic options,” she said.

    the absolute cheek. As if Israel gives a single shit about European diaspora, culture or anything of the matter. In fact Israel has indicated many times that it wants to deport its ‘problem’ to Europe (which likely has already been happening since 2015).

  22. It’s like this people stop short of stating exactly how much control and influence Zionist lobbies have over the US, the EU and member states. The most thing Israel can do to us in the short term is to derail Intel’s new 17 bn fab investment in Leixlip.

    Time is running out for Israel, a large part of the world is no longer buying their BS and is correctly identifying them as the greatest warmongers in the Middle East as well as their political influence in most Western countries. They know this is only going to increase so now they want to wipe Palestine out and resettle the whole thing.

    It’s gotten so bad that even the diehard supporters cannot back them with a straight face.

    I was right in my previous assessment that the Irish government would not act alone, but two other relatively minor countries are not a big enough pack. Hopefully this will encourage other nations to join them unilaterally.

    Like it or not we are in it now so we have to follow it through to the end, we shall just have to live with the consequences.

  23. “Many Irish sympathise with Israel “behind the scenes”, Ms Erlich said.”

    Nope, just ones who forgot Israel murdered Irish soldiers and have been sucked in by right-wing weirdos.

    And for anyone who says they are “Irish patriots” and support Israel and forgot or didn’t bother to look up why we have strained relationships with them besides the obvious parallels with Palestine:

  24. So Fiverr and Wix and…. that’s it? Maybe Facebook if you stretch it? We’ll manage

  25. This is appalling. At this point she has stepped out of the role of Ambassador to some type of propagandist for Bibi. Aside from the fact it’s more likely a state facing sanctions for war crimes is less likely to attract FDI than Ireland. The worst of it is this anti-Semite is propagating the trope that the Jewish community control everything.
