“When I travel around the world, leaders often ask me why the Irish sympathize with the Palestinian people. The answer is simple, we see our history in their eyes. Displacement, dispossession, lack of acceptance of their national identity, forced migration, discrimination and the story of hunger.”

   -- Former Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar



‘Deep Slander, Defamation’ – Ireland Hits Back at Israel’s ‘Antisemitism’ Claim

President Michael D Higgins says accusations of anti-Semitism are ‘gross defamation’


Ireland’s intervention in the genocide case against Israel in the International Criminal Court was the latest in a series of “steps, initiatives, statements” that have caused the Israeli government to regard Ireland as “the most extreme country against Israel internationally” and to close its embassy in Dublin, the Israeli ambassador Dana Erlich has said.

Her comments come as President Michael D Higgins hit back at claims from Israel that Ireland’s position was motivated by anti-Semitism as “gross defamation”.

In an interview with The Irish Times, Ms Erlich also said that concern in Jerusalem about the Occupied Territories Bill was a “big factor” in the decision to close the embassy. The Bill is regarded by friends and critics of Israel as a significant step in isolating the country and is likely to be reintroduced by the next government.

The Irish have always been pro-terrorist Palestine.
They see Israel as England.
Their anti English bias is based on them being the oppressed poor v rich English.

What's never mentioned, is the Irish CHOICE of using politics to empower the poor only. That is, tall poppy syndrome. No-one in politics is allowed to be rich. They choose to be politically poor. What they can't figure out is how to be a rich nation beyond politics.
As Germany said of Ireland. How can any European nation take an island of professional drunks seriously?

So Ireland is its own worst enemy, like Palestine. Blaming a richer neighbour for its own problem.

Irish are indeed politically stupid.

Australians who identify with their Irish ancestry here also whinge and whine against England. Blaming them for their misery and poverty.
Hence why we have seen numerous Anti English Anti British attempts of making Australia an Irish cliche Republic.
They want all Australians to be politically impoverished and terrorists.
