A supposedly ‘leaked’ letter from the Irish president

President Higgins of Ireland has very recently accused Israel of leaking a letter that he wrote to his new Iranian counterpart, congratulating him on his recent election. He says that he “doesn’t know how Israeli authorities would have obtained the courtesy letter” – and regrets that Israel’s ambassador is not currently in Ireland to be consulted. All that sly inference was said regardless of the fact that the Iranian ambassador to Ireland was first to publish the contents of that contentious letter…

Such conspiracy-style sentiments are worthy of a right-wing fundamentalist, who believes in the veracity of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion!  Ireland used to identify with Israel some decades ago. But the past is a different country, as the saying goes.

Political Ireland loves to cast herself as the ideological underdog and ferverently believes we have an important part to play on the world stage. This partly stems from being the first country to challenge the might of the British Empire after 300 years of colonisation.

During the early 20th century, both the Irish and the Jews provided each other with moral support for the war effort for independence against the British, when the Irish fighting tactics inspired the Jews in their fight for independence in the Palestine Mandate area. But that seeming solidarity counts for nothing now.

The contemporary political zeitgeist is to demonise Israel under the sly cover of Ireland being “anti-Zionist”. Ireland proudly leads the way in “recognition” of Palestine.

“Ireland’s dream is that the Israeli and Palestinian children of May 28th 2024 will grow up to be neighbours at peace…” – the opening gambit of Ireland’s recognition of the state of Palestine, made by Simon Harris, Ireland’s Taoiseach (or Prime Minister).

Would such proud, self-congratulatory political recognition be for the pitiless Palestinian people, or the holocaust-inspired, democracy-hating Hamas? Is Ireland continuing to channel the supposedly-equivocal, Jesuitical spirit of De Valera?

Days after Hitler “heroically” blew his brains out,

De Valera, ignoring the gaunt ghosts of Aushwitz,

autistically expressed his condolences to Herr Hempel,

in the spirit of unwisely applied diplomatic doctrine.

“I do what I think is right,” De Valera stubbornly stated.

What other countries made such thoughtless gestures?

Did he also leave funeral flowers? A lily-wreath, perhaps?

Who in Ireland assented such an outrageous, outlier action?

Taoiseach De Valera called on the German Minister, Eduard Hempel,

‘to offer condolences’ on Hitler’s death. He apparently made a ‘mental

distinction’ – between Hitler and the German people as a whole.
