What Irish People Are Saying About Israel Closing Its Embassy In Ireland
NEWS WHICH has been extensively reported around the world and hotly debated online, but just what do the Irish public make of the Israeli government’s decision to close their embassy here in Ireland?
WWN has taken to the streets to find out:
“Since the embassy will be going spare, we can probably let Palestinian refugees move in?” – Deirdre, Cork.
“I might be overdue an eye test but why does Netanyahu suddenly closely resemble a jockey’s bollocks?” – Carmel, Wexford.
“I get it, when I’m annoyed at people I feel aren’t treating me well I punish them by punching myself in the face too” – Cormac, Wicklow.
“I’m an Irish-American on Twitter with 12 followers that absolutely isn’t a bot account and I can confidently say I speak for all Irish people when I say antisemitism is taught from birth in Ireland. It’s whispered in the ears of newborns by midwives and Irish people are given a free potato every time they say ‘Israel is bad'” – SonOfAira1816.
“That’s very Main Character Energy of Israel, we’re actually too busy protesting against and intimidating refugees in Ireland to be bothered being mean to their embassy” – Fergal, Westmeath.
“Things have gotten so bad Israel has got me supporting Simon Harris, thanks a lot Netanyahu!” – Mairead, Dublin.
“Sorry, I can’t talk I’m off to return one of my 40 copies of Mein Kampf to the library” Ian, Waterford.
“I can’t help but feel this is partly my fault, if only I’d celebrated the murder of Palestinians, sent a congratulations card every time a child was executed by sniper fire then the ambassador would have felt more welcome” – Shay, Kerry.
“Rent in Dublin is a pox, I know the feeling too pal, I left a long time ago” – Ciara, Glasgow.
“Antisemitism is a very real and hateful form discrimination which needs to be stamped out, but that’s probably not helped by the Israeli government calling Irish people antisemitic for objecting to mass murder” – Laura, Galway.
“Is this the first time the Israeli government has actually given up property?” – Kevin, Cavan.
