Why Jews for Palestine Ireland strongly oppose the incoming Irish government’s adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, in two threads:.

RT @TullamoreJew_: Can't have it both ways. You either believe Israel's west bank settlements are illegal incursions into territory that do….

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

We at J4PI are furious that such beliefs have not only been given a veneer of respectability but disseminated as representing the views of Jewish people both in Ireland and worldwide.

What the IIA used their allotted time in the Oireachtas Foreign Affairs Committee for was a straightforward defence of the Israeli state keeping millions of Palestinians as second classes citizens deprived of democratic rights or legal recourse.

Aside from the outrageous claim that the occupied territories constitute Israel’s “property,” such claims ought to be read as a tacit admittance of the Apartheid nature of the Israeli state.

Asked whether Israeli settlement sin the occupied territories violate international law, a verifiable fact, a barrister with the Ireland Israel Alliance claimed that "one cannot occupy what is one's own property."

Passing this Bill, including trade and services, is the bare minimum Ireland is obligated to do in fulfilment of international prohibitions against profiting from racial segregation and apartheid.

We stand resolutely in solidarity with Palestinians in opposing Israeli apartheid, notions of racial supremacy, ethnic cleansing and now forced starvation and genocide.

We furthermore reject attempts by both American officials and the Ireland Israel Alliance to depict this bill as somehow anti Jewish, further trivialising antisemitism in defence of the genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing in the occupied west bank territories.

Jews for Palestine Ireland fully support the implementation of the Occupied Territories Bill, and implore our government to include both goods and services in the final draft.

Why does an American ambassador believe he can freely throw around bigoted anti Irish tropes?. If our Ambassador to the United States spoke like this about any group he would rightly be reprimanded for it. Will the U.S. government call him to account?

6. We call on governments, civil society, and all people of conscience everywhere to support the Madleen and to ensure its safety. /end.

5. Our history teaches us the cost of silence, and we affirm that opposing genocide and standing for Palestinian rights is not only consistent with Jewish values—it is demanded by them.

4. This is a courageous and moral effort, and we stand in full solidarity with those on board. As Jews, we are guided by the imperative to never look away from injustice.

3. The Madleen carries essential aid and a powerful political message: the genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza must end, and the world must not remain silent.

2. Among those on board are Greta Thunberg, climate activist, and Rima Hassan, Member of the European Parliament (The Left, France).
