Irish President Michael Higgins accuses Israel of leaking the full text of a letter he sent to Iran’s new president as he was sworn in in July, an allegation rejected and denounced by the Israeli embassy.
The July 11 letter congratulating Masoud Pezeshkian — whose existence was made public on July 26 by Ireland’s Foreign Ministry but whose full text was then published online on July 29 — drew backlash for its friendly nature; its claim that Iran will play a “crucial role” in achieving Middle East stability, cooperation and “peaceful resolving of disputes”; and its omission of Tehran’s major role in malign activity and violence against its own people and across the region.
It was slammed by officials including Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and by Israel’s embassy in Dublin. Ambassador Dana Erlich was recalled in May as Jerusalem protested Ireland’s recognition of a Palestinian state.
During a visit to the UN headquarters in New York, Higgins is asked by reporters Sunday about the issue, defending the letter as “standard” and saying it stressed the need for peace and diplomacy.
He then claims that it was the Israeli embassy itself that leaked the letter, without providing evidence and while acknowledging he doesn’t know how the letter was allegedly obtained by the Jewish state. …

More nonsense and ahistorical bullspit. Except for a few IRA cranks, no one in Ireland supported Germany.
I don’t disagree with you. What the English did to the Irish makes the Atlantic African slave trade look like amateur hour.
But the topic is whether they were allied with Nazi Germany, which they were clandestinely, not why.
LOL.
That’s left-wing propaganda. Look closer at the actual history.
Look closer at the actual history.
No; it was far more than that.
They are all in bed together having an orgy with sheep.
Why this seems to surprise people I do not know.
Can not imagine why that would be.
“No; it was far more than that.’
what was more than that? Kindly share with us.
The United States was openly allied with the communist Soviet Union, an entity that was as equally blood-soaked and vile as the nazis, and just as responsible for starting the war.
Right. That's why half of Ireland fled to the United States.
Ireland,once a proud and decent nation,is now nothing more than (and nothing less than) a tiny European cesspool.
I'm 100% Irish going back 100,000 years. As such I'd refer you to my Post #32.
That we know of, but while the world burned Ireland chose to stay safe
I know all about Switzerland and that is why I said that
Don’t forget about Sweden, who was supplying Iron Ore to the Nazis.
Ireland sent a sympathy letter on the death of Hitler, so he really should shut up.
Sweden sold iron ore to both sides. As a neutral nation, it is free to do so. It wasn’t a one way street and they were very much more helpful to the Aliies than the Swiss.
The reason for that is why I said to examine the history closer. Bad enough that phony claims of “genocide” are flying around.
The potato famine was deliberate.
