To think that antisemitism now needs to be tackled in the strongest possible way?

The Bondi thread in chat was eye opening.

Forty pages and a lot of it whataboutery, excuses and vile antisemitism.

It’s disgusting.

It needs to be called out. It needs to be rooted out.

I feel so sorry for the Jewish communities everywhere. How can they possibly feel safe?

I read that RTE are in such dire financial straits that they can't afford to take part in Eurovision. Not sure of which Irish paper I saw this in so can't post a link.

That was a broadcaster decision as opposed to the Irish government, but the decision was widely supported. Ireland isn’t taking part because of Israel’s involvement, not because of Jewish involvement (eg from any other country)? So I don’t understand your point.

Ireland’s televote last year awarded 10 points to Israel’s entry, if it matters.

I don't mean to tar all Irish people with the same brush. There are many who aren't as vigorous in their attitude and many showing compassion.

You can deal with the actions people choose to take and you can police how countries conduct themselves with sanctions and wars. But you cant actually tell me what to care about. My values and opinions are mine, yours are yours.

I've reported this person and think that's the best response. I hope MN mods will take a stand against someone trying to disrupt a thread about tackling antisemitism.

You seem to have no problem conflating Jews with Israel per se. Ireland has shown her feelings when she petulantly boycotted the Eurovision. Oh well at least that's one less set of boos the Israeli entrant will have to endure.

If you really are Jewish* then I find your comments reprehensible.
*There have been posters on other threads who state that they are Jewish when they are not.

There is one in particular who I won't ever believe is Jewish. I've seen her on other threads but something never rings true about her.

Amazing how antisemites always pretend to be the very thing they hate. All kinds of screwed up but there you go.

The vast majority of Irish people are not anti-semitic and do not hate the Jewish community!! Why would they?
You are spreading misinformation.

Critical of Israel’s bombing of Gazan civilians, yes, but that is a separate issue. Well, it should be, but it seems that people strategically deflect this criticism with accusations of anti-semitism.

@MNHQ Why are you allowing these posters to further disrespect and mock Jewish people?

Show quote history

Yes, why?

This is what I meant when I started this thread; it needs to be dealt with and stamped out.

Unambiguously. Every time.

Send a strong message that this is not ok!
