    I thought we had a whole thing about Russia and Iran and South Africa and Ireland teaming up in a coalition of antisemitism to bring Israel down

      Given Irelands history as a the neighbour of an oppressive stronger neighbour, their criticism.cones from awareness of the Palestinian plight. Criticizing Israel is no antisemitism. Equating Israel’s war like actions with judaism ludicrous. Israel is a sovereign nation that happens to have a large Jewish population (by design), but it’s a modern nation with it’s own interests separate to any religion.
