you should not read half-truth and incomplete stories like
You wouldn't think so with just this bit of information, but several weeks ago I saw an article about the Irish parliament about to pass a law that said any Irish citizen caught with products of Israel would receive a six month jail sentence. According to the article (from memory) the law was only stopped because the White House intervened. They contacted the leader of the Irish parliament and informed him that Israel was an ally of the United States, and unless he wanted a trade embargo on Irish goods sold to the US, he would drop this idea. The truth is that they PROPOSED a ban on products made in settlements in the West bank - not for products made in the rest of Israel
ALSO The bill was stopped because of Israeli protests, not due to White House intervention
The former makes it slightly less bad, but to say they wanted to ban ALL Israeli products is just hyperbole. A large % of Ireland's companies are actually Israeli
Thank you for providing me with better information. The article I read said nothing like that. It appeared to be a specifically anti-Israel article, and it just seemed insane to me.
If what you are telling me is correct, it was insane, because someone made it up.
