Is the renaming of Dublin’s Herzog Park antisemitic?

It is not relevant whether she is in Ireland. We can read the Irish papers and we can form a view. ( just as you do about the UK and other countries)
The increase in anti Semitism in Ireland is a fact. It’s been documented.

Kneecap don’t represent the Uk . As you well know they reflect Irish views. Kneecap support of Hezbollah etc will not help to make Irish Jews feel safe.

No, kneecap represents the oppression in NI by the UK government. Something the republic of Ireland hasn’t experienced in over 100 years.

Why is Rachel Moiselle getting such a hard time if she acknowledges that antisemitism isn’t “widespread” but is simply ( and accurately) pointing out that it is increasing? Look at what happened in Louth recently- and at what members of Ireland’s Jewish community are saying.
Im honestly baffled as to why someone like you - who evidently detests antisemitism- is spending more time criticising Rachel Moiselle’s perhaps overly emotive approach than you are in supporting her?

They still surely represent Ireland?

Who said Ireland was a raging place full of antisemitism? Stop twisting.

I’m not confused at all. The majority of Irish people are not anti-semitic and would thus support efforts to extinguish it here is what I said @SharonEllis.

From the Irish Times article you linked the Chief Rabbi is quoted as saying it is his belief “that only a very small minority in this country wish to marginalise or threaten Jewish people.” He goes on to say that “even this small number is having a very real and damaging impact” and I agree with that.

Rachel Moiselle, while pointing out all the problems and how we can do better and entreating people to listen, also acknowledges that “antisemitism is not widespread in Ireland.”

There are a lot of problems and we must do better and I am doing my best to listen. I’m not confused.

Those articles you linked are a very mixed bag by the way. A lot to reflect on but a lot of rubbish and some very blatant inaccuracies too.

I think part of the problem is that as Chief Rabbi Yoni Wieder says “the distinction [between criticism of Israel and anti-Semitism] doesn’t always hold where effects on Ireland’s Jewish community is concerned”. The AJC (in the article you linked) took Taoiseach Micheál Martin to task for “accusing Israel of committing war crimes, pursuing collective punishment of the Palestinian people, as well as using starvation as a weapon of war” and “explained that these actions and statements are contributing to antisemitism facing Ireland’s Jews and separating Ireland from nearly all of its European neighbours”. Most Irish people don’t support Israel’s actions in Gaza however, and appreciate Michéal Martin’s strong position on this.

They still surely represent Ireland?

Kneecap are in the UK though (Belfast), not ROI. Anything the Irish state does to combat anti-semitism won’t have any effect on them.

Poor Rachel getting all this crap. No, not all of Ireland back Palestine but a hell of a lot do because they see it as analogous with the British army. What was the business with the rappers Kneecap? Maybe no outward celebrations were made but there's certainly a section who make it clear that they value Palestinian lives over Jewish. Now reverse that and you get the outrage and calls of genocide denial. Empathy for one culture and hate for another.

You seem a bit confused, if you don't mind me saying so. Ireland clearly has a problem with antisemitism. It is now well documented by other Jewish people not just Rachel. What is a bit particular to Ireland is that the government is part of the problem, one of the last to adaopt the IHRA definition, for example. The Jewish community requesting that the President does not attend HMD being another good example ( he did and, true to form, indulged in Holocaust inversion).

As usual, if we were talking about any other minority people's first response would be to listen to them, to believe them. With Jewish people the first response is to disbelieve them, assume ulterior motives and of course the individual Jews have to be completely unimpeachable. Only the perfect Jew can legitimately be the target of antisemitism.

Rachel Moiselle has held up a mirror to the way antisemitism works. I'd suggest people reflect on that.

So a large number of people .... still sounds like a lot, would still expect to see some evidence of this large number of Irish people celebrating the rape of women and murder of children.
My reason for raising this is not to deny antisemitism it is to point out that she runs the risk of losing credibility if she is using false or exaggerated claims to make her point. Once people can start picking holes in what you are saying they stop listening and stop trusting you.

No, many is only defined as a majority when it is a noun i.e. 'the many'.

It just means 'a lot' in other contexts. I suspect 'the many' in Ireland dont particularly give a shit. A Jewish student on campus might quite accurately say that many people were making their lives very difficult and that antisemitism was a real problem. That wouldnt mean that the majority of people in Ireland were antisemitic.

That works both ways.
You are convinced that Ireland is a raging place full of antisemitism, posters have tried to point out that Rachel is exaggerating,
If you cannot be convinced, then there is no more we can do to reassure you.

Many is defined as majority and does mean large number, you would not say the word many if you were referring to a small number of people would you?

If you are happy to believe something that has no evidence because others did it too, there is nothing I can do for you.

Many is not in general parlance understood to mean 'a majority'. If Rachel or anyone else meant 'a majority' they would have said a or the majority. They did not. If you really think Ireland was the only place in the world where nobody celebrated 7 October then there is nothing I can do for you.

What absolutely delusional nonsense. Thousands of innocent women and children murdered.
