Israel Pulls Embassy from Ireland
Timothy Birdnow
Israel is closing its embassy in Ireland in displeasure at the Emerald Isle's enthusiastic support for Palestinian terrorists.
FTA:
The Irish Republic seems to see Israel as the equivalent of England - oppressors. But in reality they are more like the Irish than the Irish seem to grasp; both victims of an oppressive neighbor. Ireland was subjugated by England/Great Britain and Israel is subjugated by the Arab nations who tried to "drive Israel into the sea".
Oh, and the two had their own diaspora - the Jews were scattered all over the world after the Romans took them as slaves, the Irish after the potato famine. And both groups were disliked by locals where they settled at first.
Irish deputy Prime Minister Michael Martin said:
"Ireland's position on the conflict in the Middle East has always been guided by the principles of international law and the obligation on all states to adhere to international humanitarian law."
And yet Ireland fought a most nasty war of independence against Britain when the British occupied the country. Now that they are secure they want to deny that right to Israel to fight for it's own independence. What do the Irish think "from the river to the sea, all of Palestine will be free" means? It means "death to Israel". This war is qualitatively no different than the war waged by Ireland to attain independence.
He continues:
How many innocent lives were lost during Irelands rebellion against Britain? Quite a few even if not as many as in Palestine during this war (and we know the numbers of Palestinian dead are provided by the Palestinian Ministry of Health are unquestionably grossly inflated). And if you include military deaths that number grows quite a bit.
This doesn't include the death toll in the north during the "time of troubles".
It seems the Irish and Palestinians share one key thing in common; both are and did support terrorism.
So Ireland now hates Israel as a "colonial power". They need to take a closer look.

FTA:
Israel will close its embassy in Dublin over "the extreme anti-Israel policies of the Irish government", its foreign minister has said.
Gideon Saar said the Republic of Ireland had crossed "every red line".
In a statement, he said Israel's ambassador to Dublin had been recalled in the past following what it called Ireland's "unilateral decision to recognise a Palestinian state".
He added that the decision followed Ireland's announcement of its support for South Africa's legal action against Israel in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing the country of "genocide".
Mr Saar said: "The actions and anti-Semitic rhetoric used by Ireland against Israel are rooted in the de-legitimisation and demonisation of the Jewish state, along with double standards.
"Israel will invest its resources in advancing bilateral relations with countries worldwide according to priorities that also take into account the attitudes and actions of these states toward Israel.

He continues:
"loss of innocent lives is simply unacceptable and contravenes international law.
It represents the collective punishment of the Palestinian people in Gaza. We need an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages and a surge of humanitarian aid into Gaza."
