Israel Is Right to Cut Ties with Ireland

(Spectator-UK) Brendan O'Neill - Last week Ireland was gushed over by Hamas, that army of anti-Semites that carried out the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust. If you're getting love from racist terrorists, it's time for some self-reflection. In response to the Irish government's decision to join South Africa's "genocide" case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, Israel has taken the extraordinary decision to close its embassy in Dublin. It's not often I feel ashamed to be Irish. But this unconscionable state of affairs, where my motherland finds greater favor among the neo-fascists of Hamas than it does with the democratic nation of Israel, makes me ashamed. Israel is right to cut ties with Ireland. It is right to say the Irish government's attitude to Israel is fueled by "double standards." Micheal Martin, Ireland's minister for foreign affairs, said the ICJ should "broaden" its interpretation of what constitutes a genocide. To twist the rules of both war and language in order that Israel might finally get the comeuppance its Western haters think it deserves is the sign of a deeply unserious state - a state more committed to the cult of Israelophobia than to truth. If you go mad when Israel dares to fight back against the anti-Semitic terrorists who raped and murdered more than a thousand of its people, then you are not "pro-peace" - you're just a garden variety Israel-hater. Ireland has failed the great moral test of our time, the test set by the barbarous acts of Oct. 7, and now finds itself loved more by the killers of that day than by their victims. For shame.
