Ireland has suffered nearly 150 incidents of anti-Semitism in the past six months, a Jewish group has revealed.
The Jewish Representative Council of Ireland (JRCI) recorded 143 anti-Semitic incidents between July last year and January, averaging nearly one per day.
It’s one of those oddities that the place is alarmingly antisemitic. But:
It called for the “rapid development of a dedicated national plan to counter growing anti-Semitism” and protect the 2,200 Jews living in Ireland.
Assume each incident affects one person only. That’s still a 5% chance for any individual of being subject to an “incident” in only 6 months.
That’s, you know, a lot?
Back in the 1980s in an attempt to learn more about our nearest neighbour I used to listen to RTE.
Even then, decades before mass immigration, it was crystal clear from news and discussion programmes that there was a deep-seated hatred of Jews and Israel. Way before Gaza events in the West Bank regularly led the news.

That was brave of you. Above and beyond. I’d find drying paint more engrossing.
RTE-Ireland’s version of our very own BBC, but with added sycophancy towards their government.
But is OK because Ireland are officially Neutral in all conflicts so never take sides…
They do of course rely on everyone else to keep them safe, but don’t seem to show much gratitude.
Bit like New Zealand and Oz Jimmers. NZ pretty much disbanded their military a while ago on the grounds attackers would have to come through us first. Unfortunately for them, we’ve done the same…
Import tens of thousands of non-Europeans into a European country and then complain that they don’t love you.
Oy vey indeed!
Born in Dublin to a Jewish family, Shatter is the son of Elaine and Reuben Shatter…..
Shatter both devised and piloted Ireland’s first-ever citizenship ceremony which took place in June 2011 and a new inclusive citizenship oath which he included in his reforming legislation. During his time as Minister, he cleared an enormous backlog of citizenship applications and 69,000 foreign nationals became Irish citizens. Some applications had lain dormant for 3 to 4 years. He introduced a general rule that save where there was some real complication, all properly made citizenship applications should be processed within six months. Shatter also took steps to facilitate an increased number of political refugees being accepted into Ireland and created a special scheme to facilitate relations of Syrian families already resident in Ireland who were either caught up in the civil war in Syria, or in refugee camps elsewhere as a result of the civil war in Syria, to join their families in Ireland.

So it could be just him & daily. And understandable.
And this is the real problem with Da Joos. An alarming number of them engage in lefty self-harming behaviour.
Do they engage more in that behaviour than the average citizen? I don’t think they do, despite the ravings of Johnny Hates Jews. I don’t think Alan Shatter was solely responsible for Ireland’s immigration and nationalisation policy, for example.
Lol.’ ravings’ = quoting facts.
They’re bright, and I think that makes them particularly susceptible to this:

Middle class metro-lefties are disproportionately Jewish. It’s self-harming behaviour.
Understandably, they’re always on the other side from ‘nationalism” since Jewry is an international culture. So communism & the international flavours of socialism, One Nation Conservative, liberalism, Green etc. Amongst themselves, of course, there’s large section of conservative right through to ultra-isolationist & what would would be in others very far-right. So, amusingly, they can be extremists in both directions simultaneously.
Yup. They do themselves few favours.
Also:
Ronit Lentin (Hebrew: רונית לנטין; born 25 October 1944) is an Israeli–Irish political sociologist, and a writer of fiction and non-fiction books.
Lentin has advocated an open-door immigration policy for Ireland and opposes all deportations.
Blimey, not another one. Well thank god there aren’t any white European nonjoos engaged in such crazy culturally suicidal behaviour, otherwise it could get out of hand.
You could say that about child rape and stabbing. We had both before we imported 3rd world savages. But why import more child rape and stabbing?
Irish anti-semitism arises from the Irish sense of victimhood as the-most-colonially-oppressed-nation-ever, having endured centuries of British rule and a devastating famine (for which the British were responsible – naturally!) ‘The jews are doing to the Palestinians what the British did to us!’ Ultimately, this Irish virtue-signalling is about the Irish themselves, not the Palestinians.
Pass the sick bag.
The Scots gave us the Scottish Enlightenment, Adam Smith, David Hume, and their diaspora were hugely, disproportionately involved in the creation and administration of the modern democratic industrial world that has been of such vast material benefit to mankind.
The Irish gave us James Joyce.
Only Africa has done less.
The Irish gave us James Joyce.
And Jonathan Swift, W B Yeats, Oscar Wilde…
Terry Wogan….
Bono and Bob f*cking Geldof…
Two irish whingers…
Duke of Wellington
Oh, please.
Yeah. Great. Entertainment. Now invent some useful stuff.
Well, for starters…Robert Boyle was irish, as was Lord Kelvin. And the engineer who invented the submarine – his name escapes me – was irish, IIRC.
John Holland
But Kelvin was the Wrong Sort of Irishman, the sort that Roman Catholic, nationalist Irishmen reckon not really Irish at all. As are several others of those just mentioned. Often entirely racist, the Oirish.
(As my Oirish grandfather was not slow to point out. He loathed the way of life in the slum he grew up in: violent, dishonest, drunken, and priest-ridden – and that was in England, where his tribe had made no effort to assimilate.)
Dave Allen…
Yes, I’ll make an exception for him.
May your god go with you…….
The Scots gave us the Scottish Enlightenment, Adam Smith, David Hume:
And James Watt. I’m a firm believer in having machines do the work. Otherwise I might have to do it myself.
“Irish sense of victimhood.”
Succinct. And accurate. I had a holiday place in County Clare for nearly 20 years, and there was never a time when I felt entirely free of the Irish dislike for the English. Oh, hail fellow well met and all that jazz, but frequent remarks, thinly veiled, were difficult to ignore. The children were especially adept at making snide remarks, clearly copying the view of their parents etc.
The Irish can be funny, entertaining and interesting but, in that 20 years, I never met one that I could call a friend. Beneath the jovial exterior lies a distant coldness that never seems to dissipate.
I was glad when, in 2023, I sold up and left them to it, especially so when I see the level of immigration now taking place, with all the attendant woes that that will bring. The Irish xenophobia now has a new target.
Ireland, the republic of, is culturally at least Catholic. And the Roman Catholic church has always been anti-Semitic.
Anti-semitic attitudes are not uniformly stronger in Catholic countries than in Protestant countries – Ireland is an outlier here. So Roman Catholicism is not the explanation of Irish anti-semitism.
Also, the Church of Rome has not “always” been anti-Semitic in the same way: its anti-semitism has ranged from outright persecution to ‘mere’ anti-judaism. And the Second Vatican Council condemned anti-semitism in 1965.
The Roman Catholic church has had millennia of virulent anti-Semitism. They only got around to condemning it two decades after ’45? Well done those wops. Not.
There was a great deal of guilty re-writing of history after WW2. Anti-Semitism was common right across Europe including the UK, to varying degrees. Still common when I was a youngster. Worth reading pre-war novels.
Yes, and anti-semitism was particularly prevalent then in Protestant countries. Nazi anti-semitism derived in part from Luther’s anti-semitic ravings.
It went on later than WW2. I think it’s in Alan Clark’s diaries, a comment made over dinner by some of the more old-fashioned public school type of Conservative MPs, that there were “too many jewboys” in Thatcher’s Cabinet.
I have little time for the Church of Rome, but that’s an exaggeration. In any event, Roman Catholicism doesn’t explain Irish anti-semitism.
Just imagine, Mr Shatter marries an Indian immigrant, who names their child ‘Dipshit’. The poor little blighter goes through life as Dipshit Shatter.
Anyway, Mr Shatter certainly lived up to his name and Shat on Eire.. So he truly is a Shatter.. And even if that isn’t his first name, he certainly is a Dipshit.
Don’t wear your Star of David in public.

Sounds totalitarian to Gamecock. Harassment is at the individual level, not a national level.
Sorries, I don’t accept their statistics.
“Ireland has suffered…” It’s the Jews who’ve suffered. Ireland doesn’t give a shit but manages to paint itself as the victim!
“nearly 150 incidents of anti-Semitism in the past six months,”
Ok, but like all crime reporting statistics they can be wound up and down simply by changing the criteria of what constitutes an incident in their eyes. We see exactly this with many many other groups.
Before I would give a crap about this, I’d need to see what counts as an “incident”, with the list of 150 in order of weakest first. If we have a lot of “looked at me funny” or “cut me off in traffic and I bet it was because I’m Jewish”, then, just go away.
The number doesn’t matter. Laws shouldn’t be based on statistics.
I would have thought all laws were based on statistics. For an end point, you don’t have legislation bans activities with zero probability.
What definition of “statistics” are you using? Noticing occurrence doesn’t require statistics.
People ‘notice’ what they want to notice.
The experiment with women who had make up put on to simulate a facial disfigurement and then go into a job interview.. Asked after the interview if they felt the scar had been noticed and affected their treatment by the interviewer they all said yes.
Except – the ‘scar’ had been ‘touched up’ before the interview and was removed……….

Betcha there’s been a lot more than 150 anti-white, anti-Irish crimes in the last 6 months.
Take back your land and expel the invaders, Paddy.
I would have to ask – what *sort* of Jews are they?
Over here we have a lot of nice, liberal Jews and a whole hecking lot of pretty nasty, insular, and violent conservative Jews.
If you are being an asshole and someone calls you an asshole doesn’t mean its anti-semitic.
