Wow, that’s bad. I was last in the Republic of Ireland in the late 1990s - it had vastly improved.
Ireland, in case people don’t know, is now one of the most virulently anti-Semitic countries in the entire EU. And it was once a harbor for Jews (well, Dublin). It is also disgustingly anti-American. I think this may have been a result of envy towards us, the rise of the Celtic Tiger and the fall of religion. Now that the Tiger has died, I don’t think they have anywhere to turn.
If you grew up in the Boston area when I did it was all on display.
I worked for a Large Utility in the area and was cursed out by a follower of one of my mothers cousins, He was a Pol, clan system, for being a very Right Wing Republican, got very nasty.
I pointed out to him that my mothers family were Scots Protestants until one of my clan got a stiff pee-pee and married a papist.
How are the Irish “virulently anti-Semitic?”
And how are the attitudes of the Irish to American influence in the world worse than other European countries (e.g., France). What makes you say the are “disgustingly anti-American?”
