Israel to Close Embassy in Ireland After Dublin Backs ICJ Genocide Petition

The question is: when will the US and Israel begin the bombardment of Ireland?

You’re not allowed to complain about the Jews. It’s against our democracy of who we are in a rules-based order.

The Guardian:

Israel has announced it will close its embassy in Ireland, citing Dublin’s decision last week to support a petition at the international court of justice accusing Israel of “genocide”.

The move was announced by the Israeli foreign minister, Gideon Sa’ar, who said it was prompted by the Irish government’s “extreme anti-Israeli policies”, noting its decision to join the ICJ petition last week.

The Irish taoiseach, Simon Harris, said on X: “This is a deeply regrettable decision from the Netanyahu government. I utterly reject the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel. Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-international law.

“Ireland wants a two-state solution and for Israel and Palestine to live in peace and security. Ireland will always speak up for human rights and international law. Nothing will distract from that.”

Israel has not applied similar measures to other countries, including Egypt, Spain, and Mexico, which also joined the petition.

Relations between Ireland and Israel have long been strained because of Ireland’s stance as one of Europe’s more pro-Palestinian states.

In November, Harris said the country’s authorities would detain his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu, if he travelled to Ireland, after the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu.

The move to close the embassy follows last week’s statement by Micheál Martin, the Tánaiste (Ireland’s second most senior elected official) and minister for foreign affairs, that he had secured government approval for Ireland to intervene in South Africa’s ICJ case against Israel under the genocide convention.

Ireland cannot do anything.

Well, they could send soldiers into Syria.

But it’s not clear that this would be productive.

For now and for the foreseeable future, Jews can do whatever they want, because they are backed by the United States.
