Referring to the Israeli attack on Hezbollah, using explosives in pagers, cartoonist Martyn Turner depicts an IDF soldier who looks dirty, sinister and with a large nose, a Jewish caricature which belongs in Der Sturmer. His thought bubble says ‘‘they all hate us so let’s get em’ painting Jews as justifying their place in the world only in terms of […]

Debbie Weiss Algemeiner, Dec. 16, 2024 “In the immediate aftermath of Oct. 7, while many other European countries flew Israeli flags above their government or public buildings, no such act of solidarity was shown in Ireland.” Ireland’s decision to join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice and its support for redefining […]
Oliver Sears Fathom Journal, December 2024 “His short statement drips with contempt, revealing how such antiquated anti-Jewish racism presents itself in contemporary political commentary, without the least self-doubt.” I have a photograph, circa 1908 of my great-grandmother, Perla Rozenblum aged eighteen with a group of friends in Vienna at the tombstone of Theodor Herzl, the godfather of modern […]
Alex Winston Jerusalem Post, Dec. 19, 2024 “The current Irish prime minister and foreign minister, I think, perceive themselves as global statesmen striding the universe, whose very utterances everyone is hanging on.” Over a decade ago, Michael D Higgins, then still future president of the Republic of Ireland, visited the town of Sderot with a delegation of […]
Allan Shatter Jerusalem Post, Dec. 22, 2024 “The Irish government is simultaneously accusing Israel of genocide while recognizing nothing done by Israel to defend its citizens against Hamas terrorism currently falls within the existing international law concept of genocide.” On Tuesday, December 17, Dr Jilan Wahba Abdul Majid, elevated from Palestine’s representative to ambassadorial status […]

SHABBAT READING Birkat Kohanim: The Magic of a Blessing: Prof. Shawna Dolansky, The Torah.com, June 15, 2016 — Many of us are familiar with the priestly benediction (birkat hakohanim) from the liturgy, found in Numbers 6:24-26. A sensational archaeological find by Gabriel Barkay in 1979 demonstrates the antiquity of […]

Ben Cohen Algemeiner, Mar. 12, 2024 “They’ll say that we’re restrained by our EU membership on the matter of boycotts, so it’s unlawful to do so unilaterally, but not that doing so is wrong.” There is little doubt in Alan Shatter’s mind that over the last five months, his native Ireland has “evolved into the most […]
Conor O’Mara Israel Hayom, May 31, 2024 “None of these evil acts are picked up in the Irish media.” “Evil triumphs when good men do nothing” so quoted Irish American President John F. Kennedy in a speech before Canadian lawmakers in Ottawa, on May 17, 1961, citing 17-century Irish philosopher Edmund Burke. I […]
Rachel Moiselle The JC, May 10, 2024 “This warping of Jewish identity in academic circles was directly tied with something else I noted upon my return to Trinity: a significantly increased obsession with Israel/Palestine above all other global issues and a truly astounding prevalence of ignorance about both the conflict and the region.” One of […]
A.J. Caschetta IPT News, June 9, 2024 “Irish, Spanish, and Norwegian diplomacy on behalf of Palestinians is as phony as today’s hipster, keffiyeh-clad Marxists calling for a “global intifada” on college campuses. They are motivated, first and foremost, by hatred of Jews and the Jewish state. The Palestinians are mere pawns in their game.” When […]

Amotz Asa-El Jerusalem Post, Feb. 17, 2024 “You care for the Palestinians’ civilian losses? So do we, but your Palestinian heroes deliberately hide among and under their population, along with the arms they clearly plan to use to massacre us. If you have a better method for saving civilian lives while fighting this, tell us […]

Terry Glavin National Post, Nov. 22, 2023 “… there’s something else in the Irish psyche that’s impolite to mention in the comfy Dublin pubs and bistros of Portobello, Ranelagh and Rathmines. Not a few of Ireland’s gallant and celebrated champions of the underdog, its heroes of Irish freedom, were vulgar antisemites and Nazi collaborators.” There’s […]
Brendan O’Neill Spiked, Nov. 27, 2023 “That Varadkar failed to give leadership on this obscenity committed against a Jewish Irish citizen, that he failed to give voice to his own people’s horror at the racist degradation of a young Irish girl, is a black mark against his reputation and an indictment of the entire modern political style.” […]
