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

You need to learn the difference between anti actions of the Israeli government, which has no bearing on religion. As a left wing government would not commit genocide and being anti Jewish.

Do you seriously believe there's a 'predictable Israeli bashing' going on here? And if so, why?

well if I move into my neighbours house I might expect him to get upset….

45,00” kids isn’t attack their country. How is killing time defending themselves?

what lead to the attack ? What happened to the 1967 border ?

why is Isreal pushing into Syria ? Why are they doubling their colonies in the Golan heights ?

why did the launch an all out attack on all their neighbours?

It's not being ignored. AFAIK the Irish government have asked the ICJ to broaden their scope and to include starvation and famine to show intent with genocide.

Unless you feel causing a famine or starving a population does not show intent to kill or cause enormous suffering to said group. If Israel just sealed Gaza up and the population starved to death, would you consider that a genocide? Would deliberate starvation show an intent?

The intent will be the hardest part to prove in a case against Israel. But if they are starving the population, destroying hospitals, schools, refugee camps, water treatment plants, green houses, farm land, graveyards etc... that can (as Ireland want the ICJ to examine) prove intent. Why else destroy all the above? And sorry the excuse of a Hamas tunnel underneath, I don't think will be a sufficient defense.

Murdering 20,000 children and as many women will always do that. 20K children more than the amount of children killed in wars all over the globe in the last 4 years. Some legacy for your beloved Israel.

Honestly we should be keeping embassies in every country that is worth the money. I don't understand this impetuous throwing the toys out the pram, closing embassies. I'd keep an embassy in North Korea if they'd have one. Nothing wrong with talking to the worst actors, they are the ones where open communication is the most important

Imagine standing on the side of war criminals and then aiming your invective at the people criticising those war criminals.

Good riddance to the murderous regime

They'll hardly be bombed and shot though which would be a great relief to them.

Exactly a few placards and welfare leeches wrapping themselves in the tricolour roaring indescribable shite will be fairly tame for them.

We wave a small Jewish community here, been Jewish they are also entailed to Israeli citizen ship. I'm sure there are a few Israelis living here too. So now they have lost access to the support of their embassy. That's all that is going to happen.

Corporate America is ruled by spread sheets, they follow the return on investment. So long as they get a good return on investment here they will stay.

We give Russia a very hard time over Ukraine . We let the US fly through our airspace and refuel at Shannon, delving weapons to Ukraine, yet they haven't left.

Israel don't like that they are before the international criminal court and want everybody to talk about something else so this is the best they can come up with. Abandoning their own people.

Personally I don't see any anti semitism towards Jewish people in Ireland. Why would any sane minded person hold any Jewish individual responsible for Netanyahu's government's behaviour.

One thing that makes me proud to be Irish is we generally judge an individual on their merits and character, not their creed or race.

Yes, Trump is a known friend of Netanyahu

A lot of Jews head up a lot of our major FDI corporations, all an elaborate plan to bring business back to America possibly. In return then Trump continues to support Israel against Gaza. Truly a win-win for them

It will be interesting to see if the likes of Intel and Pfizer are still around our shores in a few years time

Ok so. Hamas done it. Israel done the same only about 100x more of it. At what stage it will be like enough?

Even natzis used to shoot just 6-10 people for every soldier killed by partisans so IDF is at this stage probably 10x more savage than they were back then.

Plus how much more of Syria they need to annex to feel more "safe"? Let us not even go to the numbers of Syrians (including civilians) killed by recent IDF bombardment of everything even remotelly linked to Syrian army.
