@Timalloy5 @Israel_for_ever @AhmedElshiekhA @TalMuscal @ArielElyseGold You confused the motivations. And a media outlet is not in charge of making policies.
Irish authorities during the war also turned away Jewish refugees, claiming they would take Irish jobs, and inflame anti-Semitic sentiments amongst the Irish. /1

@Timalloy5 @Israel_for_ever @AhmedElshiekhA @TalMuscal @ArielElyseGold James Joyce, in Ulysses, recited a nursery rhyme Irish schoolkids were taught:
Little Harry Hughes and his schoolfellows all Went out for to play ball
And the very first ball little Harry Hughes played
He drove it o'er the jew's garden wall./2

@Timalloy5 @Israel_for_ever @AhmedElshiekhA @TalMuscal @ArielElyseGold And the very second ball little Harry Hughes played
He broke the jew's windows all.
How did the son of Rudolph receive this first part?
With unmixed feeling. Smiling, a jew, he heard with pleasure and saw the unbroken kitchen window.

@Timalloy5 @Israel_for_ever @AhmedElshiekhA @TalMuscal @ArielElyseGold Then out there came the jew's daughter
And she all dressed in green.
`Come back, come back, you pretty little boy,
And play your ball again.'
`I can't come back and I won't come back
Without my schoolfellows all,
For if my master he did hear
He'd make it a sorry ball.' /4

@Timalloy5 @Israel_for_ever @AhmedElshiekhA @TalMuscal @ArielElyseGold She took him by the lilywhite hand
And led him along the hall
Until she led him to a room
Where none could hear him call.
She took a penknife out of her pocket
And cut off his little head,
And now he'll play his ball no more
For he lies among the dead." /5

@Timalloy5 @Israel_for_ever @AhmedElshiekhA @TalMuscal @ArielElyseGold With such horror tales drummed into the heads of Irish schoolkids by teachers and parents and media, no wonder you can sit there demonizing the Jewish state with such assurance. You are after all a product of the culture that condoled with Nazis over the death of their fuhrer. /6
