Excellent podcast. The rank anti-semitism the Irish manifest with their moronic laws, and lack of knowledge of Levantine history are appalling. Nearly as bad as the English.

A bill, based on ignorance of history and religion, was  approved byAn Seanad (Irish Senate)  in November 2018. It aims to make trading with Israeli settlements a criminal offence. Speaking oh NEARfm's Global Solidarity, ZionIreland denounced the process by which the bill came to receive approval as dishonest and lacking in any public mandate. For the bill to become law, it requires approval in An Dáil (the lower house). This process will commence in 2019.

The bill has been declared illegal by both the Irish Government and its Attorney General, as it fails to comply with EU law. It has been supported by the main opposition party Fianna Fáil, and a motley collection of left wing senators. The bill focuses almost exclusively on Israel and includes penalty clauses of imprisonment for non-compliance. 

It is a bill that intends to brand the holiest site in Judaism, The Kotel (aka Wailing Wall) to be an occupied territory. It further seeks to claim that Jerusalem, mentioned more than 500 times in the Bible, but not once in the Koran, to further be occupied territories. Except neither of these sites are actually mentioned in the bill. The same applies to the Golan Heights, which the bills insists belongs to Syria, despite a state of war existing between Israel and Syria. In this gesture it kills off any pretense to neutrality in times of war and destroys the capacity of Irish diplomacy to again be considered an honest broker in foreign affairs.

ZionIreland drew attention to foreign interference in Irish affairs as being a major source of funding behind an intense local campaign to approve this bill. They further denounced it as creating divisions with Irish society, which are contributing to increasing evidence of anti Jewish prejudice. If the bill passes the lower house it will be largely due to the shenanigans being practiced by Fianna Fáil, the main opposition party, who condemned political violence in Ireland, but seek to reward it in Palestine.

Meanwhile homelessness in Ireland increases exponentially, the implications of Brexit become subsidiary to Arab nationalist interests , while local government seeks to assume unto itself powers reserved forthe State.

"Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive".

Anti Israel bill denounced as illegal and racist.
