The level of HATRED towards Israel from the Irish establishment is off the scale and this has manifested itself in a quite extraordinary way. Take a look at this clip which shows JEWISH people being evicted from the 80th Auschwitz commemoration. Yes, really! Here’s what happened.
The Irish President, Michael D Higgins, took this solemn occasion to bring up Gaza.
This triggered some of the Jews in the audience to shout out and heckle, and so they were then manhandled out of the Event.
Quite extraordinary, but can we really that surprised that Jews get bundled out of Holocaust commemorations in modern Ireland? After all, Ireland had lobbied extensively to push for a BAN on goods into Israel.
The Occupied Territories Bill was a proposed law that would ban trade between Ireland and Israel’s illegal settlements in the West Bank, making the import of goods or services originating from these lands a criminal offence. The Bill was introduced by independent Senator Frances Black and is supported by Trócaire, as well as other leading human rights organisations, trade unions, academics and politicians.
This got the green light last year and the Irish elite danced a little jig of joy – and then Donald Trump was about to come to power.
On 19 January 2025, incoming Taoiseach, Micheál Martin confirmed that the existing bill would be scrapped and replaced by new legislation. This move was criticised by the author of the bill, Senator Frances Black, and by campaigners for the bill who protested outside the Dáil later that week.
This was all done with indecent haste to avoid the wrath of Trump, who could simply crush the Irish economy with a Thanos like click of his fingers.
But the hatred of Israel is still present and you will recall how Israel closed its Embassy in Dublin last year as an expression of its anger at the Irish Government
During the Biden years, the Irish could indulge this hatred of Israel but that ended on January 20th. However I wonder what the Trump regime makes of this latest anti Israeli exhibitionism?
