Why does Ireland hate Israel? – Opinion

  1. If you head down to the pub on a Friday evening after work and you tell me you meet an arsehole I’ll probably believe you and that guy is an arsehole.

    But if you head down to the pub and you tell me *everyone* you bump into is an arsehole, I’ll probably assume you’re the arsehole.

  2. > Underlying antisemitism is only one part of an explanation of Irish hostility.

    >Viewing the Arab-Israel conflict solely through a distorted lens is another.

    It’s that simple.

    1: We are all anti semites.

    2: We are wrong

    SMH

  3. Disregarding the use of the word “hate” as purely baiting, Ireland’s attitude towards Israel is probably down to recognising Israel as an apartheid state that treats Palestinians like dirt and cries anti-semitism wherever anyone dares to point it out.

    Christ, even the very first sentence of the article just shows how it is just written to point the finger and not bother to engage in any serious debate. But then, I wouldn’t expect anything more from Mark Regev. The man is a piece of shit.

  4. First line is about “underlying antisemitism”, pure propoganda piece lmfao. Commit horrendous things on minorities in your country and just cry antisemetism and holocaust, just part for the course for Israel really.

  5. Israel is hands down the best destination I have ever gone to. Every Israeli I’ve met has been warm, generous & good people.

  6. Same as Britain, issue isn’t with the people, culture or religion, it’s the policies enacted by the governments that are the issue. We’ve had enough governmental abuse here over the centuries, both foreign and self-inflicted, not hard to call out a state that abuses what should be considered its citizens.

  7. These Netanhyu nutjobs have forever damaged Israel.

    It seems an axiom that there’s not a good future for Israelis that doesn’t include a good future for Palestinians. But their actions/laws in the last 20 years have probably made that impossible now.

    They’re like hard right nationalists everywhere. *”I make country stonk, don’t listen to criticism they just hate us, oh look country shithole now”*.

  8. Don’t think it’s about religion to most people I think it’s being smart enough to know a load of pasty white fucks stealing land from the Palestinians over religion is wrong.

  9. We hate watching a country enslave another and have long term goals of wiping out a people simply because of who they are. Israel are constantly treating Palestinians like crap and then when you decide to call the Israeli government out on their appalling atrocities they use the jew card. I’m pretty sure many jews are distancing themselves from Israel as well because of the uncomfortable parallels of what the Israeli government are doing compared to the 40’s and what happened to them in the first place. I’m glad that the Israeli embassy are so embarrased that they don’t even have their flag up anymore.

  10. Getting real sick of any criticism of the Israeli governments actions as anti-Semitism. To call it reaching is an understatement

    Like we don’t treat criticism of the actions of the IRA as anti-irish?

    They need to wise the fuck up
