ashamed of being Irish today!

permitted the mass slaughter of Jews in death factories. I wonder, has anything changed in the Irish mind regarding the Jew in society?

“I fully understand and share the deep concerns which many people in Ireland feel in regard to Israel’s policies on a number of issues, including the settlement of East Jerusalem and the West Bank and its blockade of Gaza, as well as the allegations of the use of forged Irish passports by Israeli agents." BUT ... Yeah right. Nice backhanded shots framed as "diplomacy."

Ireland has been anti-Israel for as long as IRA was trainign along side "palestinian" terrorists on the topic of targeting civilians and hijacking modes of transportation. To this day, the Irish are extremely supportive of terrorism against Israelis. So, like the FM said "the way that foreign ambassadors are welcomed and received in Ireland says something about us as a people." - No kidding!

to exterminate a rat. The whole story is nonsense. Not just sending 28 operatives but suggesting that some of the supposed operatives escaped via Iran - oh really?! And the Mossad used the names and pictures of immigrants - oh really?! http://www.ourchangingglobe.com/the-dubai-liquidation/ Mossad t-shirts and are paraphernalia are selling like crazy and no Western government believes the above nonsense and would most likely love to say that they approve of the liquidation but can't publicly do so.

It seems that the problem is either with the Israeli behavior or with the REST of the world??! !Add Ireland to the never never ending list of "antisemetics". I can make people LOVE me and I can ALSO make the HATE me.... Israeli government is causing this on itself, the rest of its citizens, and ALL jews of the world..

Get a hobby, you must feel so much anger inside.

Chaim Herzog.. irish man.. read about him.

I like the Irish. Don't care about a political gesture (stupid one). I think we have a lot in common,

International EU killing squad failed in Dubai and now they blame Mossad???

The shortlist: 1. Catholicism in mid ages 2. Nazism during WW2 3. Jihad today

Ha ha! Only those countries were each and every one say that Israel should prevail in the Sionistic way are not antisemitic. Godd definition. I think that Nauru is (still) not antisemitic. ha ha! please don't consider my coment. I'm from Spain, an antisemitic country.

They are not representative of the Irish - similar to those who "fought" apartheid in South Africa, but fail to recognise and challenge the tragedy playing out there 20 years on. Still no evidence of Israeli involvement, not that I would be against them for eliminating a murderer and terrorist!

So far, the "whole world" has jumped on the "bash Israel" bandwagon for little more than unproven accusations by Arabs delivered by carefully worded 30-second sound bites. This says more about the short-attention span and easily-led mentality of the "whole world" than it does about who's "right". If the world has some evidence ot prove their opinions, let them present it. So far, even the investigators haven't done it. Sam - do you have evidence that the Dubai Police Chief needs to crack the case???

More than a third—36%—would prefer Ireland to be ruled under Sharia law, while 37% would like Ireland to be governed as an Islamic state. The Irish should take their country back from the socialists and the arabs. Since they were the last country in europe to allow an Israeli embassy, their label of antisemite state is well deserved. There are only about 200-500 Jews left in "friendly" Ireland, where some preachers tell their villagers that Jews have horns (from Moses excerpt in the old Testament)

IT'S SO PLAIN TO SEE THAT YOU ARE NOT CLEAR OR LUCID IN YOUR COMMENTS AND YOU ARE NOT UNDERSTANDABLE. JUST LIKE YOUR BUDDY " MARCO " FROM SPAIN. BOTH YOU AND HE WERE GOUGED AND GORED BY THE RUNNING OF THE BULLS. THIS IS THE MAIN REASON THAT MUCH OF THE BULL OR B.S. IS NOW COMING OUT OF YOU AND MARCO. SPAIN GUY......... YOU NEED TO GET SOME MUCH NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Hope that in the nest few days the Foreign Ministry will correct the response and call in the Irish Ambassedor. Make sure he sits very low Do not allow the Irish flag to be in the room. Demand an official apology before any further contacts.

Yes Ireland stood by during the holocaust, just like the US, UK, Russia, Switzerland, Australia.....need I go on. What a foolish comment by Qatzrin. If a democratically elected council wishes to make a protest it is their right to do so. Also if the state of Isreal didn't break so much international law they would not be as isolated as they currently are. For a people that has suffered so much why do you feel the need to dole out the same treatment you received to the palastinians.

feelings. We have allowed anti-Semitism to develop unabated for many years. This anti-Semitic act, and the dishonest statement of the foreign minister are only the latest examples of the low level we have permitted our society to collapse.

Although often I'm diapointed with Israeli behavior and convinced that to love Israel one does not have to be Likudnik, I do not think Rest of the world has much understanding or interest to study situation well enough to form informed opinion. After all once most of the world thought Earth is flat. Countries are not antisemitic the fragment of people (in some bigger than in others )are and they will hate jews of the world regardles.

This has over tthe last ten years become an empty, lazy slur, which is sad, because actual anti-Semitism is nasty. The Jewish Chronicle refrained from using the term to criticise the actions of Carrickmacross Town council. They retained their dignity, and actually delivered a comeback with actual chutzpah;they compared the incident "to a scene from Father Ted". Oooouch, niceee one...

1.Ireland wasn't the last country in Europe to open diplomatic relations with Israel-it was former Iron Curtain states 2."There are only about 200-500 Jews left in "friendly" Ireland," Wrong again, there are closer to 2000. Ireland was always, erxcept for last 15 years, an economic backwater, so there was little vincentive for any immigrants to move here, except in the last 15 years. Despite the low numbers of Jews, they've been well representyed in political life; Mervyn Taylor, Alan Shatter, and the Briscoe family would immediatkly poo poo your nonsense talk.As would have Mr.Chaim Herzog 3. " where some preachers tell their villagers that Jews have horns (from Moses excerpt in the old Testament)" Kids, don't smoke crack. Seriously, I thought Jews were smart.What is this?!? where some preachers tell their villagers that Jews have horns (from Moses excerpt in the old Testament)

Ripping a page with a Jewish name in it ----very civilized, very irish. From a country who for years slaughtered each other with gusto. As usual, all done in god's name. Lord Mountbatten's assassination was just a side-show, just to show the prowess of the irish with TNT, so that their comrades in arms, arab terrorists , will learn i.e.blowing up buses, buildings, people. The current scum of the earth had good teachers. The luck of the irish.

to worship the the Unholy Trinity: Classic anti-Semitism / "Progressive" anti-Jewish Racism / 7th century based Islamism. It is time the Irish confronted this trendy wave sweeping their country. Will they...??

These passports probably wouldn't be acceptable to use at a bar, but yet are considered ok in higher security situations. It might be easier to work at making them more forgery proof.

MANY OF THE COUNTRIES FORGE AND SPY ON EACH OTHER ONCE IN A WHILE SAM, SO DON'T BE SUCH AN ARROGANT WISEGUY. THERE IS A 2 WAY STREET HERE. ISRAEL HAS THE SAME RIGHT TO ALLEGEDLY FORGE JUST LIKE THE U.S. , BRITS, EUROS , MUSLIM COUNTRIES, ARABS, AND SEIN FEIN, IRA AND MANY , MANY MORE. IT'S NOT A PERFECT WORLD, BUT I KNOW THIS ,... ISRAEL SENT MANY PEOPLE, DOCTORS, NURSES, RESCUERS, MEDICINES, TO HELP HAITI. THIS IS WHAT I CALL REAL RESPECT BY ISRAEL. ISRAEL RESPECTED THE PEOPLE OF HAITI IN THEIR HOUR OF NEED AND JUMPED IN TO HELP THEM. THIS IS TRUE RESPECT , HELPING OTHERS, NOT YOUR LITTLE BABY GAMES OF JUDGING RESPECT BY YOUR " FORGERIES" ACCUSATIONS. IT SHOWS MUCH MORE RESPECT, TO HELP OTHERS, TO SAVE LIVES. SAM, YOUR IDEAS OF RESPECT ARE PALTRY AND YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.

but none dare to criticis the big money man, remind me who throw Nukes on civilians in rush our... boggles the mind, and your Army contain so many sociopaths that kill their own children cause they don't want to recite the Alpha Beit.

Don't be naive. You are expecting the Irish to change? Why should they? Don't expect any country to change in its attitude toward Israel, meaning: Jews. They are the "exile", the "Nations". They are and will be who they are. Can a leopard change his spots?

word of appeasement from the foreign minister is likely to change the attitude so prevalent in Ireland. Instead of tiring pages from guest books, the Irish public, but mostly the Irish press should do some soul searching and examine their contribution to this age old social illness.
