Make them feel the pain. They only exist because the rest of Europe is financing them. DIVEST, RE-LOCATE YOUR FACTORIES, BOYCOTT THEM ! IRISH OUT OF EUROPE, JOIN THE ARAB LEAGYUE !

Anti-Semitic? What a load of nonsense. Holding Israel's conduct in contempt has absolutely nothing to do with Israelis being Jewish, thanks very much. However it is typically Israeli to suggest that anyone who would condemn the dropping white phosphorus bombs upon civilians is an anti-Semite.

there is a muslim minority in ireland (as in all europe) and they're responsible for this poor display. a bunch of very loud anarchists helped them - those anarchists are loud, but very little, and everybody dislikes them. irish people are very nice and kind of like israelis, and like us they're worried by the rise of fundomentalist Islamism

Well you would believe the Irish media. They never print when rockets are fired at random into Israel, no wonder you are all ignorant.

The Irish must be very proud with their past: former Nazi collaborators, later killing each-other in the name of God, and now fraternizing with neo-Nazis, Leftist Anarchists and genocidal Palestinians and Jihadists. They even managed to destroy their own economy! What a heap of clueless and pathetic useful idiots!

There is no occupation in the land of Israel, and if there is an occupation, its the Arabs who are occupying our land. If you CHRISTIAN, please read new testament or the old testament.This land will always belong to the Jews, as Ireland belong to the Irish.Have a fear from G D. The bible says whoever bless ISRAEL will be blessed,and whoever cursed Israel,they will be cursed. I can see why Europe are in the shit.

IRA activists - OUT !

could you try not insulting everyone you respond to on this site?

Sitting in his Paris cafe sipping his latte and advocating the reopening of the suicide bomber barrier here he is not to be taken too seriously.

You'll excuse us if we IGNORE you. After all, WHO CARES WHAT A BIGOT FROM IRELAND THINKS! Your rants here have no value for as long as you do not balance them with equal or more criticism of the deliberate and unprovoked, on-going targeting and bombing of CIVILIANS over the internationally recognized borders between Israel and Gaza, and the countless terror attacks coming from there. While you're at it, better educate yourself with some REAL historical facts, like the ones showing that the Palestinians missed each and every opportunity they had to create a country - Madrid, Oslo, Camp David, and even now! One thing you must keep in mind though - there will NEVER be a Palestinian state whose purpose is to eliminate Israel. That's one thing we won't accept even if you personally come here and try to force our hand. But we know that you're not interested in justice. Your stupidity, hatred and racism prevents you to see clearly. So better carry your demagogy and prefabricated slogans across to the Al-Jazeera or Haaretz. That's where scum like yourself flourishes.

Be careful what you wish for Andy. There are many, many people in Europe who feel that Israel should not have any special multi million$ concessions from the EU or take part in European sporting or cultural events because it's a Middle Eastern country. Why don't you make peace with the Arab League nations who offered you recognition and normalisation of affairs. Get your own house in order first

Our government should take actions immediatley!!!

ten you must be also ANGERED BY 3,700 DEATHS OF INNOCENTS BUTCHERED IN SYRIA FOR THE PAST 5 MONTHS. then i ask you, why no outrage by the irish towards syria????? i don't see any anti syrian demonstrations, do i? do you? thousands of people died in iran during the recent uprising against the most barbaric and oppressive regime. YET, I DIDN'T SEE ANY IRISH OUTCRY AGAINST SUCH A GOVERNMENT. I DIDN'T SEE ANY IRISH EXHIBITS TO DEMONSTRATE THE BARBARITY OF THIS AYATOLLAH REGIME KILLING OF INNOCENT PEOPLE. as a matter of fact and history, I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY IRISH EXIBITS IN DUBLIN AGAINST ANY UTROCITIES COMMITTED IN DARFUR, SOMALIA, KENYA...BUT MUSLIMS ON MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS. HAVE YOU??? i must have missed this irish exhibit somehow. hameed aboughaze, iranian

Barak and Olmert offered the Palestinians a state, something no Arab or Islamic country ever did. Israel offered the Palestinians a state, even though there was never in history any state called Palestine governed by Palestinians. I have 2 words for you. Palestinian Rejectionism. The Palestinians refused to end the conflict as long as it meant that they would have to accept the legitimacy of Israel as a sovereign, permanent country and neighbor. Only when the Palestinians extremist/rejectionist/supremacist attitude changes will peace really be possible. I don't know where your silly world municipality is, but if you lived next door to people that slit the throats of babies, blow up children on school busses and then pass out candy you might sing a different smarter tune. There is a difference between terrorism and defense of innocents. Israel targets terrorists, Israeli civilian deaths are the Palestinians goal. Big difference Hamas and the PLO derive their legitimacy by killing Israeli secretaries and high schoolers

There is nothing "responsible" about what your newspapers do over there - and definitely not "journalism". It is ANTI-ISRAELI ACTIVISM and it actually DOES have to do with Jews and Israelis living here. When you fail to criticize the many crimes against humanity and atrocities perpetrated by your dear Palestinian friends, your rants and your newspapers activism can and should be lableled as "racism" and "anti-Israelism". If you fail to vehemently and unconditionally balance your rants and also criticize the Palestinians for deliberately sending thousands of rockets from Gaza (no Israelis there anymore) targeting civilians across the internationally recognized borders then you are a pathetic liar, demagogue and racist and as such, your opinions here have no value. But not only you don't criticize these despicable crimes against humanity - you actually support and encourage them. So don't give us your "anti-Israeli does not mean anti-Semite" slogan. We know a racist pig when we see and hear one. You sir, do sound and smell like one, "thanks very much".

or to any war-stricken region of the world? Z E R O! How many Irish have actually continuously rioted, and how many Irish newpapers have consistantly promoted activism in support of the many millions of Christians and Muslims which have been murdered in Sudan, East Timor, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Tunisia, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Rwanda, Nigeria, Somalia, etc? Z E R O! That's because they are too preocupied by their racism and hatred of Jews and Israel - just like the UN. I'm not surprised that the Irish have not achieved much after they got their "independence" and "unification". They are wasting their time on racist activism and hate promotion. It's a wonder that a few normal people still dwell in a country which nurtures so much hatred and bigotry, and with a history of nazism, civil war and barbaric terror.

I wonder if you were part of that delusional and appeasing Extreme Left delegation that visited Ireland not long ago ;) "Am I right"?

I am already curious what country it will be tomorrow. With this kind of "journalism" people in Israel will turn more and more paranoid. There is of course anti-Semitism in Europe and this should be fought and not trivialized, but the talkbackers here, slandering against almost everything European, do not really provide constructive arguments to the discussion.

It shocks me that there is a whole article dedicated to the bully boy tactics of a few (minority) attention seeking idiots who in their campaigns have failed to help even one person who they are supposed to protest in favour. Those idiots are probably delighted that they get enough attention in this article. I want to attend the film festival, and, if it gets cancelled due to a very small group of people, it would be a major loss to the many many people I know who want to attend.

England was to the Irish what today's Israel is to the Palestinians. Same racism, same attitude about destroying another people's culture and land. And being anti-settlers is not being anti-Semitic. It's staying human.

In 1956 Robert Briscoe became the first Jewish Lord Mayor of Dublin. He was much loved!

The Irish people simply identify strongly with the Palestinians (the terrorists as you'd call them) our country was also occupied by a foreign aggressor for many years. We only want to see the recognition of the Palestinian state and a withdrawal of Israel from the occupied territories. We have always been a people who support the underdog Please don’t take this personally we love the Jewish people but we must fight injustice.

This article and any comments under it insulting Ireland definitely won't have anything to do with your traveling experience. Usually a select few agitated people put angry comments on news articles and they don't accurately represent any place or country. :D

You wrote in your post: "However it is typically Israeli to suggest that anyone who would condemn the dropping white phosphorus bombs upon civilians is an anti-Semite". Israel DID NOT fire White Phosphorus shells to the Civilians in Gaza. This type of shells ARE ONLY INTENDED to serve as Smoke Screen, and the deployment of them are allowed by the International War Laws. PLEASE give us the evidence (For an International and Impartial body) that Israel fires this type of shells AGAINST civilian people in Gaza. Shame on you NAZI liar. PLEASE YNET: DO NOT CENSURE THIS POST, AND PUT IT IN THE TALKBACK- Thanks AM ISRAEL CHAI

That is the name of the game.Every country do the same.You should know this unless you thick soup
