Is the renaming of Dublin’s Herzog Park antisemitic?

[OpheliaIsntMad]

I think it is . Why make this decision at a time when anti semitism is increasing?

I've read the articles you posted. I think they are spot on actually. Im not getting entangled in posts with you because i don't agree with you, its as simple as that. @OpheliaIsntMad the bottom line is jews are fair game for boycotting and cancelling. However, the antisemitism hides behind hate and disgust for Israel. Fortunately, this bad idea has been put to bed, until the next bout to make Jews feel even more victimised.

I have posted a lot more than that! And literally posted the answers to the question that you asked. It's a page or two further back than you are willing to go. It's as simple as that, to quote you.

You're just not willing to make the effort to have an informed position. You don't want to get entangled with me, but you literally want me to get entangled with you by restating things that I have already said, just for your benefit because you don't want to read further back.

Thank you . Really interesting articles but disturbing.
I found the last article particularly interesting . I was horrified by the evidence that students and staff at the university did celebrate October 7th
“This sentiment was echoed by the President of the Student’s Union who wrote on X on 7/10: ‘Palestinians have a right to resist the brutal conditions imposed on them by the apartheid regime of Israel’. A fellow Trinity PhD student stated on X that it should be ‘celebrated and supported’, that ‘it is beautiful.’
This hatred amongst the student body has been acutely felt by many Jewish students.
TCD’s Chanukah event after 7/10 was described as an uncomfortable and unpleasant experience that Trinity refused to publicly promote, citing safety concerns. In February, an extremist figure was allowed to give a lecture in Trinity. Jewish students were sent the following: ‘College security are aware of the potential for trouble, but the event will be going ahead. Perhaps you should let Jewish students and staff know that it might be best for them to avoid the Art building between 6.00pm and 10.00pm’.
The hostility towards Jews at Trinity has been advertised to the world with the recent four-day encampment that contained explicitly antisemitic and pro-terrorist banners. In one notable example, there was a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) flag flown from the window of Trinity and two PFLP banners hung outside and inside the grounds. The PFLP is, of course, a proscribed terrorist organisation by the EU. Trinity’s response to these concerns? ‘We respect the strong stance expressed by those participating in the encampment’.
Trinity leadership claimed in their public statement on the encampment on the 6th of May: ‘We also continue to engage with our Jewish staff and students who are impacted’. Jewish students received no communication from Trinity leadership.

Which article was that? I'm looking at the last one and I don't see those quotes.

Rachel is writing about antisemitism in Ireland - not about whether there is a genocide in Gaza. Her articles are excellent. Thank you

I am pro-jewish but anti-genocide.
100% I believe that is how the majority feel.
also anti lying about the Irish people
This too. I am sure that Jewish people have been abused but as noted by a previous poster, the Jewish people have had positive ties to Ireland for centuries.
There is a minority who hate everyone.

Sorry - it’s the first article!
Read half way down from ..
“On the morning of 7/10, as the massacre of civilians and children was still ongoing, a Trinity professor wrote on X: ‘Nothing lasts forever. Solidarity and strength to those who demand to be free’. “

Yes, she is. This was a response to someone about there being no genocide, not related to Rachel.

And where is the evidence of celebration of 7th October? You seem to have omitted that.

You don’t think those tweets are celebrating!!!

There seems to be some major gaslighting going on here. Jewish people are imagining things. Some are more concerned with pushing the genocide narrative.

So you haven't read your own links?

The genocide narrative? Is that when people call a genocide a genocide? Like the UN, for instance?

Gotcha. I found the actual tweets. I agree with Rachel, can't excuse the tone deafness of this guy at all, especially as a staff member of an organisation where there may have been Israelis students.

As for this part, I can't verify any of it unfortunately. It's all too vague.

"TCD’s Chanukah event after 7/10 was described as an uncomfortable and unpleasant experience that Trinity refused to publicly promote, citing safety concerns. In February, an extremist figure was allowed to give a lecture in Trinity. Jewish students were sent the following: ‘College security are aware of the potential for trouble, but the event will be going ahead. Perhaps you should let Jewish students and staff know that it might be best for them to avoid the Art building between 6.00pm and 10.00pm’."

There are other parts that are pure conflation though. Being anti-Israel or pro-BDS is not anti-Jewish. No more than being anti-Apartheid was being anti South African.

Yes genocide narrative. Some believe there is one, some don't. I don't.

Lollllllll. Oh come on. Now you're transparently trolling.

The OP said themselves that they said the wrong one! They meant the first, not the last.

"Some" being genocide experts worldwide and reputable international institutions.

Then my feelings about your stance are the same as the feelings I have towards holocaust deniers. It's despicable.

Not experts in my opinion. This is turning into the same rhetoric that's posted in CITME. I'm not exhausting myself any further.

I think you need to be very careful here. The two aren't comparable. The infamous holocaust is well documented, established and weaponised.

OMG you think Holocaust deniers are the same as those denying a genocide in Gaza? Shame on you.

There is absolutely NO comparison with SIX million Jews being systematically exterminated and 72K Palestinians dying in the past two + years.

Almost bordering on holocaust inversion. Really sick of seeing this shit.

And your opinion doesn't diminish the antisemitism that Jewish people openly talk about.

Knew it was only a matter of time til the Holocaust Inverters showed up... so depressingly predictable 🙄
