"Some people are trying to paint the country's stance on the war as antisemitic and anti-Israel, says Taoiseach"
"Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said Ireland's principled stance on Gaza and the West Bank was being "weaponised" against the country."
"Mr Martin hit out at the suggestion, particularly from elements of the Israeli government, that Ireland is antisemitic or anti-Israeli because of its strong stance on human rights abuses and breaches of international law in the Middle East."
Ireland's principled stance on Gaza and the West Bank is being described as 'weaponised' against the country. Elements of the Israeli government have suggested that Ireland is antisemitic or anti-Israeli because of its strong stance on human rights abuses and breaches of international law in the Middle East. Ireland rejects conflating criticism of actions or policies with hostility toward Jewish people or the state of Israel. Ireland emphasizes that its positions are grounded in human-rights concerns and international-law obligations. Ireland objects to attempts to characterise human-rights advocacy as prejudice.
