I agree with everything said in this short speech. It’s 💯 correct. It identifies the problems of the west accurately and their solution. This is the only political view for a sustainable prosperous and free world.

Boycott buying the Guinness book of World Records this Christmas.
Did the people at Guinness World Record drink a full vat of the Guinness beer? How can people be so filled with hate & bigotry? Glad @gidonsaar called out the outrageous insanity.

I can’t stop laughing. It’s such a brilliant piece of writing.
Living next door to Ireland is weird. It’s like having a neighbour who is super friendly and charming and then you go over for dinner one night and every wall is just photographs of random Jews with red string running between them. Me in the @spectator. https://t.co/xAOQ1hNAHU

What sort of parent puts their child through this to make propaganda. An evil parent, Children are always victims. Here they are victims of Hamas and their radical left wing supporters.
Some of the footage circulating from the Gaza flooding is highly questionable. Can you spot it?

OK, folks. I started to watch just the beginning of the Dublin City Council meeting. It’s actually a lot worse than I expected. The hatred is visceral and frightening. I will be posting clips tomorrow—this is extremely nasty stuff. I have to say that the hope I gained after the

The Israeli government should remove the Irish Ambassador. I ask them to as an Irish citizen deeply ashamed of my virulently antisemitic government. #Shameful

To all the lefty looneys denying the Irishness of Chaim Herzog, just listen to him! He’s Irish and he is no less Irish because he was Jewish. The overlap of the radical left and ethno-nationalism/white supremacy is startling but unsurprising because Nazis were socialists!
Has there ever been an Irishman greater than Chaim Herzog? He fought the Germans in WWII, founded a state & became its president—an erudite diplomat & a man of letters. Listen to his words from 50 years ago this month as he explains how Jew-haters are always judged by history:

What about “Hamas Park” @DubCityCouncil @mishtal
The Irish want to rename Herzog Park in Rathgar As the most antisemitic nation in Europe, it’s no surprise they find the name a bit too Jewish Suggested new names include: 'Limerick Pogrom park' 'We mourned Hitler’s death park' 'We got rid of our Jews park' Final vote Monday!

The American Government is coming down on Ireland for more examples of gross antisemitism.
What an incredible insult to the Herzog family whose roots are deep in Ireland. Let’s hope decent Irish people stop this madness!

In early May 1945, as the world gasped before the horrors uncovered in Bergen Belsen, Éamon de Valera chose a path that still stains Ireland’s moral conscience. While survivors clung to life and liberators struggled to comprehend the scale of the atrocity, de Valera walked into

Dublin City Council’s move to strip my grandfather’s name from Herzog Park is deeply troubling. Chaim Herzog was born in Belfast, attended school in Dublin & fought the Nazis as an Irishman. Irish Jewish history is part of Ireland’s history. Protect it. #HandsOffHerzogPark

It is sad to see how the fact that one of Ireland’s prominent Jewish figures became president of the State of Israel, turned from being a source of pride to Dublin to being a source of denial. Chaim Herzog, my late father, grew up in Dublin and fought the Nazis in WW2 as an
Hello, all. An important post. Please read this document. This is what institutional antisemitism looks like. In Dublin, there is a park named Herzog Park. It is named after Chaim Herzog (1918-1997), an Irish-Israeli man, born in Belfast and raised in Dublin, who went on to

Chaim Herzog was an inspirational Irish hero.
Chaim Herzog was not only the President of Israel. He was Ireland’s son. Born in Belfast, raised in Dublin, educated at Alexandra College and Wesley College, fluent in Irish and Hebrew, a standout in rugby and cricket, and Ireland’s junior bantamweight boxing champion. A child

Congratulations to Dublin City Council. Hope it was worth it. https://t.co/muaeOQXymv
HAI's statement on the proposed renaming of Herzog Park. "Removing a Jewish name has a deeply sinister historical resonance. The message to Jews is clear: we wish to erase you & your history. What's next? Will we be banned from using the park or just from sitting on its benches?"
