Update from Whitegate refinery in Cork. Protestors have been baton charged and pepper sprayed by members of the public order unit. This is an absolutely unacceptable use of force and a disgraceful escalation by this anti-Irish regime.

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.
