Irish Politicians Are Positioning Themselves as Enemies of the West

(Telegraph-UK) Sir Michael Ellis - Ireland is on the wrong side of history. The Irish government has provoked Israel to close its Embassy in Dublin. In 1945, Ireland's Eamonn de Valera actually traveled to the German Legation in Dublin to express his condolences on the death of Hitler. Ireland also criticized the British for prosecuting war criminals at Nuremberg. This conduct by Ireland was predicated on an irrational and adolescent anti-British stance (wherein whatever Britain supports must be opposed and whatever Britain opposes must be supported) and an apparently crude anti-Jewish stance, predicated on a simple medieval learned hatred for those of the Jewish faith. Now, not only are Ireland's actions openly called "antisemitic" by the Israeli government, but its actions are praised by Hamas. Yes, a savage terrorist entity which murders babies and rapes women actually welcomed Ireland's support last week. It is like Hannibal Lecter saying you're really quite a good guy, or like getting a character reference from Jack the Ripper. When the Iranian regime eventually falls, as it inevitably will do, its imprisoned citizens will doubtless remember how Ireland helped prop up that hideous regime by opening an embassy in Tehran, which Dublin has recently done.
