This video is less than two minutes long and I implore everyone to watch it. It is indeed rather extraordinary. As Holocaust Awareness Ireland says, Patrick Kielty exhibits utter callousness with respect to the attacks on the Jewish community, astonishingly saying ‘the backdrop of that is obviously the horrors in Gaza, this is a complex thing.’ Boy George remains calm and says ‘if you don’t know any Jewish people maybe that’s the problem.’ He then asks the audience ‘do you know any Jewish people?’ Boy George is visibly taken aback by the ensuing silence, and vocalises his shock twice, remarking that it is ‘weird’ and ‘surprising me a little bit.’ Patrick looks uncomfortable and ends puts an end to the topic with a dismissive ‘mmm’. Extraordinary viewing. Just extraordinary.

In 2019 Jewish filmmaker Tuvia Tenenbom came to Ireland to film a documentary about Brexit. He said: ‘I don’t think I ever have met people who have so much hatred for the Jews as I met in Northern Ireland and Ireland, and that includes Derry.’ Some of this hatred was caught on camera, here is a video of Northern Irish men going on an antisemitic rant. Many of you might struggle with the accent so here are a few choice words: Tuvia asks: ‘you have a lot of Palestinian flags here? Why do you support them?’ An Irish man responds: ‘because we hate the f***ing Jews.’ Another Irish man (in the orange hi-vis jacket) says: ‘the only thing Hitler did wrong was he didn't kill enough f***ing Jews.’ As you can see, this was met with laughter from the rest of the group. He continues: ‘Hitler didn’t kill enough Jews. They're the scourge of the world. The Jews are the scourge of the Earth.’ Again, this was in 2019. Long before the Israel/Hamas war that started on October 7th, 2023. But always remember, folks, there is no antisemitism problem in Ireland.

Tonight a Jewish man was assaulted in an antisemitic hate crime in Dublin, Ireland. He was slapped by this man who said he knew he was Jewish because of his face. In this video, in the immediate aftermath of the assault, you can hear the assaulter scream that he is a ‘genocidal Jew’. At the end of the video he screams and points at the man ‘the Jew, the Jew’. Ireland: this has to stop. Now.

A kind person has sent me the uncensored video, which is significantly worse to look at. When one of the men says: ‘the only thing that Hitler did wrong was he didn’t kill enough f***ing Jews’…you can see here how the man beside him looks straight into the camera and laughs. He feels emboldened to do that because there are simply no consequences for antisemitism here.

In a highly depressing turn of events, the day after I was berated by hundreds of Irish people on this app for writing an article that asked the Irish public to listen to the concerns of the Irish Jewish community, I have been sent these photos and video of antisemitic graffiti by a concerned Slovak man living in Ireland. He spotted this yesterday as he was driving on the R165 (Shanlis) from Kingscourt to Ardee County Louth. This particular area is known to the Jewish community as having been vandalised with antisemitic graffiti before in 2019 (link to article below). The local Gardaí and County Council will be contacted. To say there is no antisemitism problem in this country is a grotesque insult.

I honestly think this is one of the most deranged things I have ever seen on the BBC, which is truly saying something. Kemi Badenoch makes reference to the thousands of girls who were raped by grooming gangs and says she met the mother of a boy victim who died by suicide. The BBC presenter does not even react to or acknowledge these horrors. Instead he admonishes Kemi about comparing Adolescence to Casualty, asking her: ‘did you really mean to say that?’ It was a perfectly appropriate comparison? They are both *fictional* television shows? By contrast, the grooming gang victims are *real* people whose *real* suffering is what is deserving of outrage. Kemi handled herself far better than I could have in this frankly dystopian interview.

‘I speak as an Irish citizen—born and raised here in Dublin—and as a Jew from a small, long-established Irish Jewish community, that arrived here in the early 1600s. And that community is now increasingly fearful… One of my best friends…a long-time respected member of the Jewish community whose grandfather was the only citizen murdered in the 1916 rising said to me only two days ago: “I always thought of myself as an Irishman, who happened to be Jewish. Now I know I am just a Jew, living in Ireland.” Many of us think like that.’ This is what was censored from the clip that one of Ireland’s governing parties shared online. Indeed, this what our political and media establishments have been censoring since October 7th and even before then. This is the reality on the ground for the Irish Jewish community that they do not want you to hear. A reality they know about yet vehemently deny at every opportunity.

Deranged conspiracy theories were rife at the Dublin City Council meeting last night. Independent Councillor Pat Dunne: ‘I’m further convinced that whatever phone calls was made to our CEO and to other officials probably emanated from Israeli intelligence attached to the Israeli Defence Force because they’re active in every issue in relation to Palestine. Trace it all the way back, Richard, and you’ll find that’s the source.’

Holocaust Education Ireland refused to respect the wishes of the Irish Jewish community and stood by their decision or asking President Michael D. Higgins to give the keynote speech at our national Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration. Therefore, just one request was asked of the president: please do not politicise the event. This was a plea made publicly by a Holocaust survivor who has spent decades teaching Irish children about the Shoah. The president cruelly dismissed this plea. And Irish Jews who protested this disrespect, simply by turning their backs, were violently thrown out of the commemoration. This includes a pregnant Jewish woman who was assaulted by security. Perhaps most heartbreakingly, the non-Jewish attendees just allowed it to happen. The banality of evil that enables the vicious kind. This is a deeply shameful day for our country. Antisemitism in Irish society needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. What happened today has categorically proven just how serious this problem is.

Truly shocking scenes in Dublin City from the ‘emergency vigil’ for Haniyeh and Shukr. Hezbollah, Hamas, PFLP flags are flown. Multiple photos of tyrannical figures including al-Qassam, Raisi, and Soleimani. The authorities were alerted in advance and did nothing No words.

A few thoughts on the selective empathy and outrage by the Irish commentariat. This has reached a point where historical and present suffering of people across the globe is maliciously diminished and dismissed in order to position one type of suffering as worse. At best, this is done to serve the cynical virtue signalling purposes of the Irish commentariat, at worst, this is done to falsely position the world’s only Jewish state as an unparalleled evil. The approximately 2 million victims of the Cambodian genocide matter, the approximately 1 million victims of the Rwandan genocide matter. The fact that an 80-year-old Irish media figure (who lived through both of these atrocities) says that the assault on Gaza is ‘the worst thing we’ve seen in our lifetime’, is a clear demonstration of: 1. The disregard for basic truth on this issue in Ireland, and 2. The cruel apathy towards the victims of any other atrocity that doesn’t serve our national obsession with hating Israel.

A very impromptu video. The Nova exhibition shared a post inviting Kneecap to see their exhibit, one that honours the innocent victims of a brutal massacre, among them an Irish-Israeli girl. Irish people online have, to the tune of thousands, sneered at this invitation. They are collectively mocking this initiative that seeks to humanise murdered civilians. What does it say when Irish society celebrates a music group that wrote ‘solidarity with the Palestinian struggle’ as the bodies of the October 7th victims were still being counted, yet expresses utter contempt for an exhibition that attempts to give these victims dignity? What does it say when Irish society pontificates that this group is ‘on the right side of history’ as they praise a neo-Nazi, all while viciously targeting a woman for calling this out? It is time for the ‘silent majority’ to speak up. Because, as it stands, you are complicit in this hatred and extremism continuing to take hold here. Náire. That is how I feel being Irish these days. Shame.

Absolutely incredible to see so many Iranians at today’s march against antisemitism in London. In this video you can hear them burst into a glorious chant: ‘long live Iran, long live Israel’ as the Israeli and Lion and Sun flags are proudly flown. A sight to behold indeed.

Sinn Féin Councillor Mícheál Mac Donncha on the objections to the renaming of Herzog Park (which was rightly described by the Irish Jewish community as antisemitic due to the erasure of Irish-Jewish history): ‘It seems very clear to me that the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste over the weekend fell in line with the Israeli government’s line that any opposition to Israeli government policy, even the most horrendous, up to genocide, any opposition to that is branded as antisemitic. And that’s what happened here.’ Bear in mind that Chaim Herzog died in 1997 and his only connection to genocide was the one he bravely fought against in WWII.

Deleted by Virgin Media News. Reilly casually used the term ‘Global Jewish Lobby’: a myth at the core of the world's most notorious 20th century antisemitic conspiracy theory. He said it without hesitation, as if fully believing such a thing exists. There will be no apology.

People Before Profit Councillor Conor Reddy (who called October 7th ‘beautiful’), concludes his unhinged rant: ‘I think the international response here is interesting in itself. Unprecedented, you might say. And I think it’s unprecedented because it calls into question the historical logic of Zionism which goes far beyond what’s happened in Gaza and shows the State of Israel itself is illegitimate.’ Remember that the international response in question came from the Jewish community and all decent people appalled at the prospect of antisemitic erasure of Irish-Jewish history. But I suppose if Conor can endorse the massacre of Jews, the the erasure of Jewish history is naturally something he will condone as well.

There hasn’t been quite the level of anti-Israel invective in Ireland as one might expect since the beginning of this war. I would argue that this is because the Iranian community in Ireland have been making their perspectives heard have been essentially unanimous in opposition to the Islamic Regime and in support of the US and Israel (this isn’t written as a value judgement, it is written as a fact). Even RTÉ (!) had an Iranian woman on Morning Ireland this week who described Khamenei’s death as ‘one of the best days of my life since my son was born’. This perspective is coming as a surprise to a lot of Irish people, who would have incorrectly assumed that Iranians hate Israel. The Irish public have been profoundly let down by the Irish media/political establishments, which have simply not reported/commented on the Islamic Regime and its role in the Middle Eastern conflicts (especially Israel/Palestine) appropriately. When you have a media class lying by omission regarding the Islamic Regime’s destabilising of the region through its terror proxies, when you have a political class cosying up to the regime by choosing to open a new embassy in Tehran and writing sycophantic letters to the regime’s president…is it any wonder that Israel has been positioned as the ultimate villain in the region in Irish consciousness? The smashing of that narrative by Iranians themselves, is definitely taking many people here by surprise. I was in Tel Aviv at the outbreak of the previous war with Iran and filmed this video for my Irish acquaintances on Instagram after one of them sent me a nasty message asking why Israel was starting a war with another country that ‘hasn’t done anything to them’ (!). It is of course rudimentary information, but nonetheless it is information that has been almost entirely omitted in Irish public discourse on Israel/Palestine. It seems, thanks to Iranians living in Ireland, that omission has finally come to an end.

We should brace ourselves for more dainty Houthi dancing in retaliation.

A very impromptu video that I felt compelled to film in reaction to the Irish Times callous disregard for the victims of the antisemitic terror attack during Chanukkah at Bondi Beach. It is utterly shameful that our paper of note could not even wait until all of the bodies of those murdered at Bondi (which included a 10-year-old girl and a Holocaust survivor) were all buried before disrespecting them in such an egregious manner. This disrespect constitutes one towards the Jewish community entire, one that has been a feature of the Irish media class for two years…and one that it seems will continue unabated until more of us have the courage to stand up and say: ‘enough’.
