Israel closing their embassy in Dublin *Read OP for Mod Warning added 19/12/24*

And you think we should dictate our countries position based on the ramblings of simpletons?

Fcuk everything about them. Odious cretins we should be pitying, not following.

Actually, when you're doing the exact opposite of what they want you can be pretty sure you're on the right track.

Plenty of support for Hamas at the pro-Palestine marches in Dublin. I've seen it with my own eyes. Plenty of support for Iran in Ireland also, the country that is behind all of this. I'll point you in the direction of the President and his love letter to Iran as proof of that. Is Hamas classed a terrorist organisation in Ireland?

No, the US is supporting Israel because it is the right thing to do. Ireland's treatment of Israel and the Israeli people has been appalling. The lack of empathy has been nothing short of disgusting.

Supporting a colonial state is a good thing now?

Lol. The truth hurts. There is almost a prefect mirror between the zionist tactics of propaganda for genocide and the Russian excuses for what they are doing in Ukraine. The hypocrites don't like it being pointed out. Most reasonable decent people see the parallels and condemn both. Some like to perform contortions to explain why it's different (when the reason is just that "the muslims" are being given a kicking in their eyes…….and they aren't smart enough to realise that the chaos sown by the zionists just drives more towards Europe!!!!)

But your strawman was anticipated and has been promptly laughed off 😀

You cheer for one but cry about the other

I consistently call out shitheads for what they are

You sir are a hypocrite who doesn’t give two **** about Ukraine or Gaza and just use the misery spread by neo fascist/theocratic regimes to further your own insane far left angle

Mod: Warned, uncivil, attack the post not the poster

Did I miss the news where they also pulled their embassies out of Turkey, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Jordan and Egypt for their recognition of Palestine? I wonder is it because of our reliance on US multinationals providing jobs and tax money that they choose us as the mudguard?

This is about so much more than recognition of Palestine and was bound to happen eventually, the timing is also relatively insignificant. Had this happened before the US presidential elections, or indeed our own GE, there may have been some political impact

Colonial, lol! Supporting Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran is a good thing?

So you would support closing of Russian embassy here?

More guards available for the beat, freed up from the embassy

The Russians directly cyber attacked our healthcare sector, threatened to freeze us and Europe, created and directed waves of refugees here leading to rise of far right and far left and even threatened to nuke this country oh and their ambassador repeated lied to people of this country on prime time tv

But thanks once again for exposing the hypocrisy of your positions

Hard to take your crocodile tears seriously anymore

Intel is already is serious financial trouble. Nothing to do with this event.

Can you please try to explain what your understanding of the word "hypocrisy" is? I think your understanding is not the normal understanding. Has it changed definition recently like the other buzzword "antisemitism"?

Russia=Israel and Israel=Russia. Almost perfect mirror images of each others propaganda tactics and operations. I am fully consistent with my treatment towards both. It is not me that supports one killing hundreds of thousands, but not the other. It is not me that clutches at pearls at the claimed "preemptory" seizure of Ukrainian land by Russia, but cheers on the seizure of Palestinian land, and more recently the claimed preemptory seizure of Syrian land. I call both out equally for what they are.

You may also not understand the nature and purpose and importance of diplomatic relations. I will leave you the quote below from an article citing former ambassador Dan Mulhall

Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, Dan Mulhall said in his experience diplomacy is not about agreeing with people but it is about getting around your disagreements.

It is not about throwing your toys out of the pram in hissy fits. Source is below

Ambassador on the radio now,newstalk.

You mean like how Ireland stood tall during ww2 and called out the Nazis and their persecution of the Jewish people from say, the time of Kristallnacht through to the death camps?

Oh, wait......
