"Responding earlier today, Irish President Michael Higgins said that "it is a very serious business to actually brand a people because in fact they disagree with Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu, who is in breach of so many bits of international law, and who has beached the sovereignty of three of his neighbors, in relation to Lebanon, Syria, and would like in fact actually to have a settlement into Egypt."
" Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar yesterday defended his decision to close Israel's embassy in Ireland, saying that Dublin "encouraged" antisemitism under a prime minister he accused of hating Jews."
" And regarding the Egypt settlement claim, he says: "Higgins invented the claim that Israel seeks to form settlements there. In the context of our peace agreement with Egypt, Israel withdrew from a huge area all of the Sinai desert, and uprooted all of its communities there. This peace agreement has been maintained since 1979."
"Concluding his combative statement, Sa'ar brings up Ireland's failure to join the Allies in fighting Nazi Germany in World War II."
"Let us not forget that Ireland was at best neutral during World War II.
At that time, the free world was fighting Hitler's axis while Ireland sat on the side and did nothing."

Sad that Ireland is going down this road. But the IRA in the north was aligned with the Palestinians and Baader Meinhof and Red Brigades during the Cold War. Oh, and Libyan intelligence as well, so maybe that anti-western sentiment prevails there.
