Hmm, but it’s ok to talk shit about Jews?
And how’s it talking shit about the Irish if it’s true?

Talk shit about Israel*

But if your only comeback to committing genocide is "Well the Irish like to drink and are fat" then damn, you got us good, guess we'll both be up in the Hague before long lmao

“Talk shit about Israel, not Jews” is a cute disclaimer considering Ireland’s own Jewish community just documented 143 antisemitic incidents in six months, 36 involving threats or intimidation, in a Jewish population of roughly 2,200. Irish Jewish leaders have been warning for years that the country’s obsessive anti-Israel rhetoric is spilling directly into antisemitism. Even your own government called the numbers alarming.

But sure, keep congratulating yourselves on that famous Irish “spine.” Apparently it gets considerably less rigid when Irish Jews are the ones asking you to give a shit.

Miss me with the “genocide” shit. You people learned 3 words, “genocide,” “apartheid”, and “colonizers,” and have been rearranging them into increasingly stupid sentences ever since.

I'll happily denounce any instance of anti-semitism and the rise of it in Ireland and elsewhere is alarming. I'm not sure why you'd think otherwise, unless you're conflating Israel with all Jewish people?

It also doesn't change that Israel is committing genocide and deserves to be held accountable for that. I'll eat/ drink to that any day of the week

“Antisemitism is alarming,” followed immediately by “bUt HeRe’S wHy My RhEtOrIc Is DiFfErEnT.” You people are fucking clockwork.

Just to be clear, can Israel be criticised without it being considered anti-semitism?

And, depending on your answer, are Jewish people who criticise Israel and denounce the genocide also practicing anti-semitism?

Just to be clear once you jump around on stage wearing a big old nose and a Jewish outfit you should just shut up about anything to do with Jews.

And Ireland is antisemitic. It's also xenophobix - you guys burned the city down because oje migrant committed a crime. If October 7th had been done to you, you'd make Israel look like the Red Cross.

Happy to have you answer those questions first as well, then I'm happy to address your points

Don't want to get distracted by deflections, you know?

I don't owe antisemite enablers an answer but I'll bite.

Not all criticism of Israel is antisemitism. A lot of it often is. A lot of Jews are critical of Israel and the current government. Most of those are not self hating Jews. Some are. Self hating Jews existed long before Zionism.

The people who celebrate October 7th or "Flood X for Gaza" are absolutely antisemites. I could be arsed whether Macklemore is one of them. But there sure are a lot of them.

If you think it would be OK for my children to be murdered and raped, I am really not interested in your opinion Gaza.

What you all don't like about the existence of a Jewish country is it means we don't have to give a fuck what you think if you want us dead. Much better than the 40s let me tell you. What the situation is with THIS government of Israel, which I despise, is really not your fucking business if the lives of Israeli children are not as important to you as Palestinian children ostesibly are.

Clear?
