"When Ireland Became ‘Paddystine’".
One might say that Ireland is little different from the rest of Europe when it comes to the volume and the venom of its antisemitism: France, Germany and the United Kingdom, among others, are current examples of a similar trend. But Ireland stands out because of the role of its government in stoking these poisonous sentiments, as well as the fact that antisemitic depictions of Israel sit comfortably in its major political parties across the spectrum. That perhaps explains why Israel has closed its embassy in Dublin.
Paddystine, that’s good. The Irish are a notoriously obstreperous people, and since they’re not being oppressed by the British much anymore, they’ve decided to pick on Jews. It’s a sad feature of human nature to need someone to bully. Not a wise choice in this case, IMO.
