The Irish prime minister's meeting with the Jewish community was canceled amid intensifying accusations of antisemitism due to his stance on Israel. Ambassador Yechiel Leiter condemned the Taoiseach, stating that labeling him an antisemite for supporting UN principles in the Middle East was absurd. The Taoiseach defended his position and emphasized Ireland's condemnation of Hamas alongside his solidarity with Israel post-October 7. He dismissed the accusations as a deliberate distortion of Ireland's consistent stance on the conflict.
If any Jewish leader canceled the meeting, they should be commended. It would show leadership. The battle for antisemitism starts with shunning antisemites.
You can't fight antisemitism if you claim the No.1 Jew in the world is a war criminal, referring to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
It's absurd to label someone antisemitic for being in favour of the principles of the UN regarding the Middle East.
There's a deliberate distortion of Ireland's position in respect to the Middle East. To label it antisemitic is wrong, false, and a deliberate distortion of the truth.
