So Higgins made von der Leyen look more pro-Israel than all of Ireland. And in the process made Ireland look more antisemitic and pro-terrorist than ever.

Ireland has become a cesspool. What Cromwell couldn't finish, the Irish have finished it themselves.

Every person who ever told me that the Jews killed Jesus was Irish.

That’s how badly the left has twisted their thinking.
The laugh is that they were actually reunited with Britain under the European Union’s aegis, until Britain left 3¾ years ago.
Never mind what the Ottoman Empire was.

I’ve never heard that from any Irish person; not even priests over there, nor any family members.

Ireland has long been anti-semitic, and pro-terrorist.

It was never this widespread in the past. It existed of course, but only among the political elite and fringe elements in the cities.

Many individual Irish served in the British armed forces during the war. But again, De Valera’s hatred of the English resulted in Irish neutrality and .. other things.

Ms. von der Leyen did not include a call for Israel’s retaliation to conform with international law.And this international law... that is the biggest fig leaf of all. International law is whatever two nations agree it is at any one time.

No. Of course, the Jews didn't kill Jesus. They hired a good (The Romans) Hitman. :)

Ireland has long been antisemitic, and pro-terrorist. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. It's true that most if not all Irishman have little affinity for the British. The IRA was the result of hatred and resistance against British oppression and subjugation. History will tell you why. As far as Irishmen being antisemitic, on what do you base this opinion?

Buildings in north Dublin, along North Strand Road, got bombed by the Nazis and Irish citizens got killed and de Valera did nothing.

On 2 September, de Valera advised Dáil Éireann that neutrality was the best policy for the country. This policy had overwhelming political and popular support, though some advocated Irish participation in the war on the Allied side, while others, believing that "England's difficulty is Ireland's opportunity", were pro-German. Wikipedia
De Valera had started a bloody civil war in the 20s.
Maybe he didn't want to do it again.

There’s no question that the IRA was allied with international terrorism. I never liked or trusted the IRA and Gerry Adams. I’m descended from Irish ancestors on both sides of my family.

This is not an issue over which Ireland would have returned to civil war.

years and years and years of personal experience....lived there for many years, family there, followed the “news” and heard it expressed both casually and profoundly too many times to recall
