Case Study – Ireland

“Please don’t tell me that there’s no anti-Semitism in Ireland. There is.”^[1][1] https://danielrosehill.medium.com/please-dont-tell-me-that-there-s-no-anti-semitism-in-ireland-there-is-7575673229b

“I write this, sadly, not in the hope of accountability for Sinn Féin or for the political/media climate in Ireland to all of a sudden change. To write in that hope, would be naive of me and divorced from my knowledge of the beast that is Sinn Féin. There is no political or electoral cost to their bigotry, there is no societal pressure to abandon their anti-Semitism, and the corollary response to any anti-Semitic overreach on their part is the apathy of the majority of the Irish people. Rather, I write to document the unacceptable state of affairs in my country of Ireland whereby Sinn Féin go unchecked in the vitriol directed against the Jewish State and the Jewish people. The great Liberator & friend of the Jewish people, Daniel O’Connell once said “there is nothing politically right, which is morally wrong.” Sinn Féin’s anti-Semitism is neither morally right or politically right, but unacceptably comes at no political cost.”^[2][2] https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/sinn-feins-anti-semitism-comes-at-no-political-cost/

“In 2011, 22% said that Ireland should forbid Israelis who wanted to become naturalized Irish citizens from doing so, and 11.5% wanted to bar all Jews from becoming citizens.”^[3][3] Goldhagen, Daniel Jonah. The Devil That Never Dies (pp. 267). Little, Brown and Company. Kindle Edition
