What exactly are the key moments in Ireland’s “proud history of opposing antisemitism”? ➡ Do they include the time in 1904, a Catholic priest in Limerick delivered a sermon calling Jews “leeches” and starting a boycott of Jewish businesses that forced Jews to leave the city? ➡ What about the time Ireland refused to let in any meaningful numbers of Holocaust refugees during the Nazi genocide? After deciding they should be "neutral" about Hitler as a leader, of course. ➡ We don’t even have to go so far back. Maybe the “proud history” was the time a 23-year-old student was attacked in a Dublin nightclub after being asked if he was Jewish last year. Let’s be real: Ireland has a proud history of antisemitism, not of standing up to it.
