Here's a response from the experts.

 

FDD Expert Response
“Israel is clearly not committing the crime of genocide, as defined by the 1948 genocide treaty. So now, both Ireland and Amnesty are seeking to create a new, bogus definition of genocide in order to find Israel guilty of it. In doing so, Ireland and Amnesty are proving that they are motivated by hatred of the Jewish state rather than by allegiance to the rule of law. They are also making a mockery of international law, the ICJ, the genocide treaty, and the victims of actual genocides.” — Orde Kittrie, Senior Fellow

In the mean time, more and more countries and organisations are speaking out against the Israeli atrocities.

Are they trying to make a mockery of international laws the same as Ireland, the subject of this topic? Perhaps you should read the latest expose on the fake death figures promoted by Hamas in todays other topic. Oh no, you won't do that as it disagrees with Hamas.

 

Another fine example @stevenl of when you have nothing to add to the topic just deflect and return to your characteristic Israel hate with unsubstantiated off topic inflammatory claims of atrocities by Israel.

If I were an Irish Jew, I'd be getting nervous now.  Changing laws to make it easier to prosecute Jews is how the Holocaust started in Germany when the Nazis took power in 1933.  One of the first steps the Nazis took was to change laws to the detriment of Jews. This helped "normalize" the persecution of Jews.

A very small number of Jews live  in Ireland, which makes their situation all the more perilous.  An estimated 2,500 to 2,600 Jews reside in the Republic of Ireland, but less tan 800 are Irish citizens, according Wikipedia.   The others are employees of multinational companies, digital nomads, exchange students and spouses of Irish citizens.   As the Irish Republic has 5.35 million residents, only 0.05% are Jewish      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Ireland

 

The Israeli government  has reacted strongly to its Irish counterpart's constant siding with those who seek to destroy Israel.

In response to the antisemitic policies of the Irish government, Israel is closing its embassy in Dublin.  

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar announced the closure of the country’s embassy in Ireland on Sunday, accusing Ireland of “extreme anti-Israel policies.”

“The actions and antisemitic rhetoric used by Ireland against Israel are rooted in the delegitimization and demonization of the Jewish state, along with double standards. Ireland has crossed every red line in its relations with Israel,” Sa’ar said, according to a foreign ministry statement.

Meanwhile, there have been attacks on individual Jews,  The young man in the story below was an exchange student from the U.S. who was weaing a Star of David pendant.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jews with Irish passports began to decide Israel would be a better place for them to live.
