Times of Israel – Dec 17, 2024
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar castigates comments made today by Ireland’s president, who accused Israel of breaching Lebanon’s and Syria’s sovereignty and charged, without evidence, that Jerusalem is seeking to establish settlements in Egypt.
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar yesterday defended his decision to close Israel’s embassy in Ireland, saying that Dublin “encouraged” antisemitism under a prime minister he accused of hating Jews.
Responding earlier today, Irish President Michael Higgins said that “it is a very serious business to actually brand a people because in fact they disagree with Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu, who is in breach of so many bits of international law, and who has beached the sovereignty of three of his neighbors, in relation to Lebanon, Syria, and would like in fact actually to have a settlement into Egypt.”
“I think to suggest that because one criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu that one is antisemitic is such a gross defamation and slander,” Higgins added during a ceremony where Palestinian Authority envoy Jilan Abdalmajid presented her letter of credence.
President Michael D Higgins has said that to say the Irish people are anti-Semitic is a “gross defamation and slander”, and it is a “very serious business” to do so simply because people disagree with the actions of the Israeli Prime Minister.

“From Lebanese territory, Israel’s sovereignty was breached for over a year,” he says. “For no reason and unprovoked, Hezbollah joined Hamas on October 8th [2023] and since then fired tens of thousands of missiles, rockets and drones at Israeli citizens and communities. Israel did what any country would — it defended itself against a brutal aggressor.”
On Syria, Sa’ar says: “While Assad’s regime disintegrated, armed groups entered the buffer zone and attacked UNDOF forces, in violation of the Disengagement Agreement from 1974. Israel temporarily entered a few limited points to prevent the threat of radical Islamists against its citizens and communities. Israel will not wait for another [onslaught resembling what Hamas did on] October 7th [2023] on any of its borders.”
And regarding the Egypt settlement claim, he says: “Higgins invented the claim that Israel seeks to form settlements there. In the context of our peace agreement with Egypt, Israel withdrew from a huge area — all of the Sinai desert, and uprooted all of its communities there. This peace agreement has been maintained since 1979.”

This is Israel’s Achillies Heel: Overreach. The more land they take the more land can be taken from them. The Anglo-American empire, head office in London, can protect them from the consequences of their actions for only so long.
The fake-jews are liable for the largest identity theft of all times, it is WHITE people who are the actual Semites.. omg, and the shit show just goes on and on and on..
Palestinians in Israel are treated worse than blacks in South Africa and the Israeli government expects these victorious anti-apartheid activists to look the other way, now, that they hold positions of political authority.
Joe Slovo’s and Helen Suzman’s chickens are coming home to roost in Tel Aviv.
amaq–Jews in South Africa were destroying a White country, which was not difficult, them having tens of millions of Blacks to inflame, but they are not likely to destroy their own Jewish State

Joe Slovo’s and Helen Suzman’s chickens are coming home to roost in Tel Aviv. No! They’re coming home to roost in London and Washington!
Thank you Martin. Finally some one else ‘gets it’. At long last.
Welcome to the party, Martin, now pull up a chair and share as the popcorn gets passed around.
Let’s watch King Jesus Return with His Angels to utterly destroy these blood drinking murdering parasites
Praise the Lord !
AMEN
Forty years ago, Michael D. Higgins would have been an anti-apartheid activist like the rest of his generation. That campaign may have ended in 1993 but the mentality it engendered hasn’t gone away. This is the chicken that is coming home to roost in Tel Aviv.
In other words, their condemnation of Israeli actions towards Gazans, Palestinians and the Lebanese is a continuation or renewal of their opposition to South African apartheid.
F**K Israel! F**K Jews!! We are SICK of them after 3000 years of constant mass-murder! They can burn in Hell!
i always laugh at accusations of anti semitism
as if name calling is equivalent to the genocide jews are doing
the more the jews keep their antisemitic ways
so better for the world seeing their true evil face .
thank you Satanjahu opening the eyes of the blind!
