Israel to Ireland: If you’re going to embrace extreme anti-Israel policies, don’t expect us to stick around for tea.

Embassy CLOSED.

“The antisemitic actions and rhetoric that Ireland is taking against Israel are based on delegitimization and demonization of the Jewish state and on double standards,” says Foreign Minister Gideon] Sa’ar in a statement. “Ireland has crossed all red lines in its relationship with Israel. Israel will invest its resources in promoting bilateral relations with the countries of the world according to priorities that are also derived from the attitude of the various countries towards it.”

At the same time, Sa’ar announces that Israel will open an embassy in Moldova, which already has an embassy in Israel. The opening is expected to occur in the next year, and Israel is beginning the process of finding a site and appointing an ambassador.

“There are countries that are interested in strengthening their ties with Israel and do not yet have an Israeli embassy,” says Sa’ar. “We will adjust the Israeli diplomatic structure of our missions while giving weight, among other things, to the approach and actions of the various countries towards Israel in the political arena.”. //

I have known a few Irish, including natives, not just expats and immigrants. The Irish seem to have a reflexive response to side with rebels and underdogs, no matter the cause or politics. They love Palestinians, Cubans, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, Iranians, and anyone fighting a bigger force. I honestly think if some whacky Ayn Rand inspired insurgency sought to overthrow the government of Canada, the Irish would send them military aid.

Maybe that's why my Irish friends in college seemed to only pick bar fights when the odds were overwhelmingly stacked against us.
