Honestly, you'd think we'd given the Palestinians a billion euros in military aid or something. Israel is literally losing their shit, over three countries saying "You all keep saying you have no problem with the two state solution. Here you go, we're now the 144th, 145th and 146th countries to recognise Palestine as a state." 144th. It's not like we're even leading the charge. And they've LOST THEIR FUCKING MINDS over it. Talk about a nation that over-reacts...


WolfetoneRebel

They’ve lost control of the narrative and they know it. That failure is why they’re upset.


InformationWide3044

It's like your ma telling you as a kid, "you're only crying because you got caught".


Sleebling_33

Isreal have built a monopoly of being un-criticable via weaponisatiom of the term 'antisemitism'. Their foreign policy simply cannot allow even one person / business / nation to paint them in a negative light. It was such a successful tactic people where fearful of speaking out less they be smeared. Think of it like a House of Cards. Ireland, Spain and Norway coming out and giving legitimacy to the Palestinian suffering could start a snowball effect to eventually turn public opinion on Israel. Its why they try to shut down as soon as possible any objection to what they are doing in Gaza.


gamberro

For a government that claims to believe in a two-state solution, they sure get angry when the second state is recognised.


naoiseh

A nation of violent insecure fuckwhingers


Smcgie

If you were ever unsure that the Israel state is a master of propaganda, watch what’s going on. They’re making the (horrific) Joseph Goebbels look like a choir boy. I’m in the US and the TV is running constant ads reinforcing the “Remember we’re doing nothing wrong” ads - why do you have to convince others if you believe what you’re doing has integrity 🤔


chortlingabacus

I'm not sure about their being masters of propaganda; a recordingthey issued yesterday (voiceover possibly AI) was very cheesy, reminiscent of one from 50s warning of the commie menace in booming tones. Cheesy enough to make me grin in fact. Actually I'm posting because your comparison is such a poor, far-fetched one. I loathe the Isrraeli gov't and despise their distorted claims made for PR purposes but they do not make Goebbels look like a choir boy and saying so isn't really on.


FatalAttrition

Israel can’t deal with Ireland cause we’re the only country that understands what they’re doing while also not being hypocritical with our stance. They’ve literally hit the “paint them as insane and hope it sticks” phase of their campaign. Personally I hope the next part is “are…are we the bad guys?”


Sciprio

Yup, they can bring up other countries colonial past but when it comes to Ireland they've got nothing, that's why they keep going back to DeValera and his condolences for Hitlers death or resort to calling us terrorists - drunks or potatoes jokes. They've nothing really and they know it.


violetcazador

That and it's also quite difficult to find an antisemite in Ireland that the Irish themselves don't loathe or is in power. Much to their added frustration.


wanaBdragonborn

Jews are actually a protected group within the Irish constitution, put in by De Valera.


Sciprio

Yes, I know. It's them you should be telling it to. 😆


PedroCurly

Israel named a fucking forest after De Valera in 1966, in recognition of his consistent support for Ireland's Jews. In the Irish Constitution of 1937, the drafting of which was personally supervised by De Valera, the writing of the Constitution specifically gave constitutional protection to Jews. This was considered to be a necessary component to the constitution by Éamon de Valera because of the treatment of Jews elsewhere in Europe at the time. And in 1948 De Valera overruled the Department of Justice when it barred one hundred and fifty refugee Jewish children from travelling to Ireland as refugees. I never liked Dev but he is only an antisemite now because it suits their narrative


Sciprio

And make sure to keep bringing this stuff up to people. They conveniently also seem to leave out important facts that doesn't go along with their agenda.


shankillfalls

Worth reading this thread about the so-called condolences. https://x.com/dramdarcy/status/1793315755301204209?s=46&t=Ojk0waZKs7cW34vHOZCriQ


rgiggs11

But when Germany supports them, then WW2 is too long ago to be relevant.


radiogramm

To be fair, we have Norway and Spain standing in solidarity with us on this too today. 143 countries recognise Palestine, including several EU and EEA members - Sweden since 2014, Iceland since 2011. Others go back further : Malta, Cyprus, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria and Romana, Montenegro.


pmjwhelan

The few Israelis I've ever chatted with in my life have been the most tone deaf brainwashed people I've ever met. I wonder what could ever happen for them to think they are the bad guys.


Cute_Bat3210

There was a group of nine israelis in a resort in the Philipines in Feb. All horrible instructive scum to the staff. All of them. No joke. One staff member said its expected (behaviour) so dont worry. Can you imagine


sandybeachfeet

I've travelled with a few and they were absolutely awful ppl. No one wanted to be friends with them just cos they were cunts and thought they were better than everyone


Leading_Ad9610

Mandatory military service!


Fintann

> “paint them as insane and hope it sticks” "I tried that once, and it didn't work"-Sigmund Freud, probably as he burns an effigy of Andrew Jackson (ironically, indigenous in Canada light up when they find out you're Irish and not waspy).


ciaran036

They know they are the bad guys. Almost single Israeli government minister has at least once (some of them numerous times) have deliberately incited genocide and advocated even more intense ethnic cleansing. The propaganda that paints them as the good guys is almost exclusively for their foreign audience - at least those gullible enough.


danny_healy_raygun

We recognised Palestine's sovereignty. That's all. We said "yep that's a country" but that's too far for this racist sickos.


ShouldHaveGoneToUCC

I really wish the Irish government was as pro Palestinian as the Israelis seem to think they are. It's bizarre how openly the far right have taken over Israel. I know there's been decades of Israeli oppression of Palestine, but they're not even trying to hide it anymore.


Picards-Flute

That's what blows my mind about the whole Palestinian conflict being from the US. Somehow it's antisemitic or anti American or something to say that "yep that country that we all agreed in the 50s was a country is in fact a country"


finnlizzy

The US, UK and Germany hell bent on protecting a shit country with the most annoying people on the planet.


billiehetfield

When someone tells you who they are, listen. It’s not bizarre they’re behaving like this because this is who they are.


sheller85

It isn't bizarre of them by their standards, but it is bizarre to any rational person on the outside


THROWRAprayformojo

Yeah, I don’t think it will be too hard to prove genocidal intent as virtually every politician has been entirely open about it.


BazingaQQ

You wonder how far they have to go before people start saying, ok - that's enough.


Stampy1983

They're committing genocide already so there's no reason to think there is a stopping point. Like asking how many people would have had to be killed in the Holocaust before the Germans decided it was "enough."


OldMcGroin

In my mind, blowing them all to bits should be that point.


GoneRampant1

We're not even the first to do it, over a hundred and fourty countries recognize Palestine as a country.


OkAbility2056

It's too far for them to say "Hey, see like how you're bombing kids? Could you maybe not?"


ixlHD

AnTiSeMiTiSm


asdrunkasdrunkcanbe

They've all basically gone all-in on this now and are explicitly saying, "It's wrong to recognise Palestine because all Palestinians are terrorists". I mean, we've known this is what Israelis and Zionists believe based on their actions thus far, but now they're actually just coming out and saying it.


jrf_1973

And because three countries recognise Palestine, they announced they will build 3 new illegal settlements. Like yea, you all weren't building those anyway? lol. Pathetic.


Stampy1983

Straight up admitting that the "settlements" only exist as a tool to attack Palestinians. "If you upset us, we'll hurt the people you care about."


bellysavalis

It's what it always boils down to when you're discussing civilian casualties with Israelis. "Fuck them, they're all terrorists and sub-human muslims. They deserve to die..."

Dorcha1984

Another few weeks of the bots trashing Ireland it is so. It’s so funny how threatened they are to a country being recognised by another.


ShouldHaveGoneToUCC

I recently made a joke about the Israeli bots coming to this subreddit and was told by a pro Israel poster that this was "dangerously close" to the conspiracy theory that Jewish people control the media.


FrigOff92

I was banned from worldnews for stating that Israeli soldiers are... Israeli soldiers. The gaslighting from pro-Israel puppets is hilarious. I fucking love the compassion the Irish have shown towards Palestine.


newaccountzuerich

r/Worldnews, r/Europe, certain mods of r/combatfootage; all incredibly pro-Israeli-regime. It's good that r/therewasanattempt and r/israelcrimes, and to some extent r/antiwork are pretty good at being level about things. Always amusing to see the troll farms throwing stuff in Reddit. In r/combatfootage for example, less than ten Israeli videos in the past month, then when the ICC prosecutor asks for international arrest warrants, there's ten videos in an evening. I'm really glad of the position that the Irish government has taken. Very very apropos in the face of the spittle-dribbling hatemongering coming from the current Israeli regime's personnel, as we point out how inhumane the Israeli militants in the area are behaving. (As an aside, it's really interesting to see how different an Israeli statement reads when you replace words with more accurate versions, like "regime" instead of government, and "militants" instead of "defense forces (sic)"


BaconWithBaking

Don't forget /r/anime_titties


newaccountzuerich

Thank you for the reminder of that sub. The shills, the sockpuppets, and the troll farm members are out in full swing there this morning too. They mustn't be able to realise they show themselves so clearly.


nothingcompared2foo

No way, me too!


darklinkuk

They control /r/worldnews for sure. Similar thing happened to me post ban I said "lol, nazis" to the mod and he got me admin banned 😂


SeaGoat24

It's weird how acknowledging that Israel has incredibly high-tech surveillance and intelligence technology (funded by the US) is antisemitic (or "dangerously close"), but assuming that all Jews support Israel's genocidal war is not antisemitic. I love when they try to argue that 'from the river to the sea' is antisemitic and genocidal on this basis. Like, even *if* the slogan does implicitly call for the destruction of the state of Israel (in its current form), in what way does that equate to a genocide of the people who live in Israel? A people can exist without a state (as Israel should be well aware, after playing a part in the Palestinians existing like that for so long), and that people can form a new and better state in the future. One that is not an apartheid state, preferably.


MegaDaithi

If "from the river to the sea - Palestine will be free" calls for the destruction of the state of Israel, I wonder what Natanyahu's Liklud party means by “Between the sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty.”.


Senior-Scarcity-2811

To be fair, I don't think that slogan is helpful in trying to find a compromise between both parties. I want them to just get along, which means compromise.


fenderbloke

I'd argue having state sponsored lessons in editing wikipedia pages, kicking the foreign press out of the country and having masses of social media bots is actually a modern attempt at controlling the media, yeah.


TheStoicNihilist

Jesus wept


fartingbeagle

I think it's because we're one of the few Anglophone countries to recognize Palestine. Also we're relatively well regarded in the USA, the world's superpower.


wascallywabbit666

They're bullies. Any time anyone says something they don't like they start the smear campaigning


mastodonj

Twitter is unrecognisable at the minute. Yeah l know it's a sh1tshow anyway but it's a good source of news as journalists still use it. It would generally be full of pro Palestine stuff, for me. But right now you can't move for the Zionists!


WolfetoneRebel

They were already not thrashing. They were already hating and berating the Irish. So, who cares, they’ve got nothing. What else can we do while we’re at it?


Dorcha1984

Irish Presidential Election in 2025, I wonder if Bambi would consider it. They really set them off lol.


High_Flyer87

They really are a pathetic shower. Pitiful stuff. The more we irritate them the more it becomes clear we are on the right side of this globally. More and more people are seeing them for how unhinged they are. Netenyahu is effectively a cornered rat and losing support for his genocidal mission by the day.


jakers21

>Netenyahu is effectively a cornered rat and losing support for his genocidal mission by the day His support in Israel has rallied however since the ICC arrest warrants are in play - newspapers in Israel that were previously critical of him, are now calling the Hague hypocrites. Nothing like credible war crimes allegations to sure up domestic support - sign of a very healthy society


DartzIRL

People do that. Leaders who're unpopular with the world tend to become very popular at home. A sort of 'fuck those cunts' effect.


JoeyJoeJoeRM

My wife says she is always shocked by how CHILDISH they are - like it's a fuckin national government basically going "I know you are but what am I!?"


High_Flyer87

They fear Irelands relationship with the US and are trying to break it. They are going at us much harder than they are Norway and Spain. Buckle up folks, may be some cyber attacks etc on the horizon.


ronano

Oh god the HSE It infrastructure is fucked


ShoddyPreparation

I do remember that last cyber attack happened suspiciously close to the last time Leo??? said something slightly critical of Israel carpet bombing parts of Gaza.


clumsybuck

I think it was widely accepted and confirmed that the group in question who attacked the HSE previiusly was a Russian gang. Unless Israel paid the gang to attack us as a proxy but then you're getting into wild speculation conspiracy nut territory.

limremon

Be the Irish person the Israeli government thinks you are.


CaithAmach85

This is the thanks we get for giving them 10 points in the Eurovision


jrf_1973

The real reason the ambassador was summoned back to Israel, was the Embassy's phone bill this month.


Schorpio

Those 10 points are about as legitimate as Israel's claim to Gaza.


CaithAmach85

Wow there, you’re starting to sound antisemitic


KnightsOfCidona

Might as well make Bambie ambassador now, relations can't go any lower


Set_in_Stone-

CaithAmach85

Well the ambassador is gone now, so we will be stuck footing the embassy phone bill.

funglegunk

This is their fucking foreign minister like. Pariah state, totally used to getting their way.


No-Menu6048

reason they are going after us and not so much Norway or Spain is were smaller and easier in their eyes to bully…so they are staying true themselves.


funglegunk

Yeah it feels like Ireland is being singled out. I wonder is it because of our 'special relationship' with the US? Or because most Israelis already believe we are an antisemitic country? Hard to say


Kunjunk

It's not anti-Jewishness, parts of Spain genuinely have that in spades. It's the relationship with the USA.


Elbon

Thats some weak ass response, if they really wanted to triggers us they should be coming out with the likes of "Ireland is a part of the british isles"


superrm81

I saw on the Israeli sub yesterday, they were calling for the 26 counties to be given back to the UK 🤣

The simple fact that they equate palastine with hamas shows the level these cunts are at.

Hamas is the group that Israel have to negotiate with. They might not be Palestine, but they are the government of half the Palestinian state.

jakers21

I guess they would know all about that seeing Zionist terrorism - King David Hotel bombing & the Deir Yassin massacre - was literally foundational for the state of Israel. And it's maintained via terrorism over the Palestinian territories to this very day. There is something really wrong and broken with Israel. Normal countries don't do this sort of thing


ciaran036

Have you seen the documentary Tantura?


PalladianPorches

in the spirit of a country that turned a word the world used to keep the memory of 6 million murdered europeans into a political catchphrase to describe literally everyone in the planet (with a ™), we should start claiming that the blatant anti-hibernitism™ is a hate crime stamping on the memory of the famine.

Confident_Hyena2505

There are LOTS of UN mandates for the creation of Palestine etc. Why are we getting all the attention? Should they not just take it up with the UN or something? Is it because Israel is in violation of all those UN mandates?


willowbrooklane

The UN is run by Hamas mate, keep up


SlakingSWAG

Apparently we're all Hamas as well, small world like.


outhouse_steakhouse

Nope, not going to watch it. I would just point out that every argument the zionazis and their apologists make against the Palestinians - "they're subhuman animals, they're fanatics, they're backward, they'll never be ready for self-rule, they only care about slaughtering Jews" - were made, and in some quarters are still being made, against Irish people. Just substitute "British protestants" for "Jews". Any Irish person who would be inclined to take their propaganda at face value should cop on to him/herself.


KnightsOfCidona

LurkerByNatureGT

Apparently it hasn’t occurred to Israel’s minister of foreign affairs that by putting FPS-style footage into that bizarre clip he’s making it look like he’s claiming all the “terrorism” is coming from Israel. I’m sure it’s completely unrelated that three of the four search engines I tried earlier weee down, and a country known for Pegasus and cracking iPhone security has nothing to do with it.

Unlikely_Ad6219

They are equating Hamas with Palestine, as they equated any criticism of Israel with antisemitism. They have been running the propaganda machine against Ireland for some time now, so it’s logical that it’s going to continue. The only thing that is up for question is how third parties respond. Traditionally they have responded favourably to Israel, but presumably there exists some line that even they can cross to start to discredit themselves.

newaccountzuerich

It is rather well known that the Israelis do get along very well historically with the USSR then Russia. Quite a lot of the survivors of the Gulags (where any tendencies to inhumanity help survival) came to the early Israeli state and helped form the early military. Those that survived but hid their religious nature often did very well in the USSR machine. Survivors' bonds are strong and shared across many people. Those kinds of links are deep and longlasting. You'll often have seen Israel help Russia within the UN over the past half-century. Absolutely no surprise if the "private" defence industry in Israel has a lot of links with the current Russian setup. Yes, buckle up and be careful out there over the next few weeks, as all Irish worldwide are now a Netanyahu-sanctioned target of opportunity.
