  1. Kind of proud we’ve triggered those genocide apologists so much that they’ve resorted to lazy racist stereotype attacks to deflect from the fact that they are systematically starving 2 million people

  2. let the israeli’s try rage bait to deflect from their genocide. Id prefer to be looked at as whatever this image is than be an apologist

  4. You should see the original article …an excerpt

    “In this vile campaign, Ireland seeks out corrupted, ideologically driven self-hating Jews like those from B’Tselem, a disgraced organization wallowing in anti-Israel venom, to amplify its slander. B’Tselem, a festering hub of self-loathing, peddles distorted narratives that Ireland eagerly embraces, cynically weaponizing the Jewish identity of these traitors to shield its accusations from charges of antisemitism and lend them a perverse credibility. “

  7. think I met this fella in Foley’s in Sligo trying to get the rugby turned off for the Mayo game

  8. Israel really not dodging the accusations of inexcusable racism.

  9. New icon to replace the Father Ted Lovely Horse for the Irish sub has arrived.
    Its latent 10% McGregor’ness is equally fascinating and triggering.
    Perfect.

  10. We’re really living rent free inside their heads.

    I also think I know that bloke.

  12. Well, they would know plenty about peddling distorted narratives themselves.

    We must be more influential than we know, if they’re so bothered!

  13. Playbook 101 – Dehumanise (by using AI images of leprechauns, that’s what they are attempting to do). It’s a colonial tactic that they learned from our colonial neighbours. Let’s not ever sink to their level.

  16. Child murderers paint us as leprechauns. I think we still have the high ground.

  17. If we start firing around pictures of big nose Jews we’d hear about it quick enough.

  18. In no way does this remind me of German depictions of Jews leading up to the Holocaust… Israel is like the perfect nation-state version of a childhood abuse victim turning into an abuser themselves.

  19. Just saw a video yesterday of an Israeli minister defending Jews spitting on Christians as an old Jewish tradition. Zionists are a deeply, deeply weird people.

  23. Dehumanising the Irish like those British, American and mainland European cartoons form the late 1800s.

  27. So they don’t like anti-semitism but it’s ok to peddle distorted narratives about Irish people. Do they even hear themselves.

  29. If it wasn’t for the support of the murder of thousands of innocent people, you’d be inclined to laugh as such an incredibly poor attempt at journalism.

  31. They are scared of a Palestinian GFA, plain and simple.

  32. The nation founded and operated on peddling distorted narratives says Ireland is peddling distorted narratives.

  35. The hypocrisy is a feature not a bug. At least that’s what I’d like to think. I just can’t fathom how you can slander an entire nation as anti-semitic and not see the irony of it

  36. That’s the Halloween costume sorted. Maybe the Mrs will agree to go as a dead Palestinian baby?

  37. Racism from a nation committing a genocide. Who’d have thought?!

  38. Can you imagine if an Irish newspaper used an image playing on Jewish stereotypes. How would that go down, I wonder.

  39. Creating racist caricatures of a population whose ancestors were starved by an empire for defending people that they are starving isn’t the gotcha these weirdos think it is

  41. You really ought to read the article. The poor lad is having a melt-down. Can’t post link because it a non-reputable source. Google it.

  43. Let’s not forget their ministers in parliament have more than once threatened to send all of the Palestinians to Ireland.  It’s despicable behaviour what’s going on over there. 

  46. this isn’t something i’m offended by but isn’t making caricatures of a stereotypical jew a really common form of antisemitism on the internet? they’re very clearly trying to do that sort of thing at our expense here despite this not being a thing any of us really care about.

  48. “You’re all racist anti-semites”, says man using AI-generated versions of 19th century British tabloid racist cartoons.

    They’ll be depicting the South Africans as minstrels next week.
