Israel is right to cut ties with Ireland

Everything that has gone wrong in modern Ireland is summed up in the fact that it is winning praise from Hamas and criticism from Israel. Last week Ireland was gushed over by that army of anti-Semites that carried out the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust, while being spurned by the Jewish homeland that was the target of that barbarous assault. Listen, if you’re getting love from racist terrorists, and rejection from their victims, it’s time for some self-reflection.

Israel cited Ireland’s ‘extreme anti-Israeli policies’ for its decision

It was the Irish government’s decision to join South Africa’s ‘genocide’ case against Israel at the International Court of Justice that saw it get love-bombed by Hamas and dumped by Israel. ‘Hamas applauds Ireland’s decision’, as one headline put it. Hamas put out a statement welcoming the ‘pressure’ being put on ‘the Israeli enemy’ by Ireland and the other nations backing South Africa against Israel.
