@rtenews: President Michael D Higgins has said that accusations of anti-semitism against those who criticise the policies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amount to "slander against Ireland". "If you criticise Netanyahu's policies you are then described as being anti-Semitic. That is a disgrace and a slander," he said. Speaking at Bord Bia Bloom, President Higgins said that Irish people are among the best-informed people with regards the situation in the Middle East. He said this can be attributed in part to families who sent sons and daughters on peacekeeping missions to Lebanon and elsewhere and who returned and spoke the truth.

A country that recognizes the terrorist state of Palestine should remain silent on the subject of anti-Semitism!

It’s not hard. Judaism is a religion, Israel and the IDF are government and military bodies. While tied to each other, they are most certainly not the same. Being critical of the Italian government wouldn’t be considered Anti-Catholic.

It is sad that even the world leaders are afraid to criticize Israel because they would be labeled antisemitic.

Netanyahu is antisemitic. He's a Zionist and despises Jews who promote Peace and Coexistence like the Musical Festival did. This is the continuation of the pogroms from WWII. He's a terrorist and a fanatical fascist. He's disgusting.

Unfortunately, we have a bad history in terms of Jewish people, after ww2, they think we are antisemitic. I've never heard a word said against a Jewish person in ireland in my 60 years!!

Zionism isn't Judaism. anti-Zionism isn't anti-Semitism. Israelis aren't even Semitic. Palestinians are generationally Semitic. Hebrew was a dead language until they learned it after Israel was made.
