Ireland, is this true?

[SR71Blackbird]

Wasn’t sure where to ask this but there’s a piece in the JC about antisemitism in the Irish curriculum. It seems legit but incredulous:

https://www.thejc.com/news/world/jews-are-jesus-killers-and-israel-is-uniquely-aggressive-what-irish-pupils-are-taught-dhqmypgo

Can anyone here verify?

?

Anyone who says any of these things, even if its "just" to fuck with a pollster, is a real dangerous racist.

Yes - no problem with criticism of Israel.
Israel deserves criticism for the terrible things that are happening

In fairness - saying most Irish people don't care about antisemitism is as inflammatory as saying most Jewish people don't care about anti Irish slurs, so I don't think you have any moral high ground here.

@Limesodaagain in response to your smart arse pulling apart responses.

I definitely didn’t say most Irish people- I said most Irish posters on this thread …
I don’t think they are in any way a representative sample of Irish people…

Aah 👍🏼

Ah there you go again.

I appreciate that some people might not see a difference in “most Irish people “ and “most Irish posters on this thread” but I assure you they are two very different statements.

Trust me, I think there are at least 1 in 5 worldwide who hate the French, lol.
Most of them can be found in the USA. The phrase "cheese eating surrender monkeys" springs to mind.
I have always felt that ,us French, have an affinity with Ireland. I am yet to visit this beautiful country. Vive L' Irlande!

You are back peddling may make you fall off that wobbly bike you are on.

No, that's not really what racism is. Are they an asshole? Possibly. But who said we have to comply with random people ringing our home phones or answer truthfully?

Hmm … you can see the difference in the two statements though ?

Im asking because I think some people misread it as “most Irish” whereas I said “most Irish posters on this thread ” which is quite a different thing …

Could you name the Irish posters that are antisemites please? It is a very serious accusation

Absolutely. I taught RE and it is also my understanding that the High Priests were jealous of Jesus and of his influence on ordinary citizens.
If anyone is interested in reading the text from the Bible of Jesus’ trial before Pilate. It is in Matthew 27:1-2, 11-26.
Teaching about the crucifixion to little was challenging at times.

Making a racist comment isn't racist? Since when?

Why is it so important to you that Irish posters constantly say "I care about antisemitism"? Of course we care, but why are we asked to say that every 5 minutes on this board? Why is no other nationality demanded to say "I care about antisemitism"? We care. A lot! More than most perhaps... and that's why we're so vocal.

This

Just don't call any randomers though asking them if they agree with French stereotypes... and you'll be fine 😂

I can repeat that it seemed to me that most of the Irish posters on here didn’t seem concerned about claims of anti semitism … I’m not at all sure why you want names … Surely that’s irrelevant?
( Although one or two posters were more concerned)

I didn’t say “most Irish people dont care about anti semitism “ though . Read my responses

The survey wouldn't have asked them to make a comment though. This random person phoning out of the blue would have said 'racist comment' do you strongly disagree, disagree, somewhat agree, strongly agree, don't know?

The person wouldn't have had to say the words. Many don't even understand the question or just answer positively to each to get rid of the caller.

Do you really not see how that might work?

I guess it would have been good if someone would have said they cared about claims of antisemitism since that is what this thread is concerned.
But in fairness @BarbaraHoward and @Kindatired did..

I didn't get that at all. They were concerned that the school curriculum was being accused of antisemitism and were challenging that.
Antisemitism is very serious and I don't think a poster who doesn't respond to posts the way you may want them to is a good enough reason to accuse them of antisemitism which is why I think it makes more sense to challenge the poster directly as opposed to vague accusations. No I don't want names I want the people you are referring to tagged otherwise all Irish posters stand accused.
