I’ve been studying and working in the area of language and translation since 2011.

I can categorically say that this is the single worst breach of professional ethics I have ever seen. A deliberate mistranslation to hide genocidal antisemitism. I am truly floored.

This is a stain on the BBC that will never be removed.Image
Do the BBC have in-house translators? Or did they hire translators for this documentary without conducting an appropriate background check? These translators must be identified and immediately fired/stricken off any interpreter register.

I cannot stress enough how I have never seen anything like this in well over a decade of working in this general area.

Also: I don’t speak Arabic but even I hear ‘Yehud’!
Leaving this here.

The anti-Israel bias espoused by Irish media and Irish politicians has reached indefensible and deeply shameful levels in the past week.

There has been an overwhelming amount of of falsehoods, conspiracy theories, scapegoating, and bald racism.

I’ll list these in this thread:
1. Our Táiniste described the pager attack as a ‘wanton disregard for civilian life’ and ‘indiscriminate’.

This was a surgically precise attack.

Pagers of Hezbollah members detonated individually: with knowledge of who and where they were. It was, by definition, discriminate.
Image
2. On a talk show, Israel was described as a ‘terrorist state’ by a Sinn Féin (!) politician. The presenter implied the pager attack to be a terrorist attack.

On the same show, a guest falsely implied that the devices of Lebanese people generally were indiscriminately targeted.

Speaking with a friend who was incredulous that this cartoon made it to print in the Irish Times. She asked me how.

I gave her the answers I’ve said for months:

1. Antisemitic rhetoric is normalised here. Indeed, it’s lauded if done under the guise of anti Israel sentiment. Image
Think about how many educated people in the Irish Times would have had to see that and deem it appropriate to print.

Not one of them recognised the hooked nose and yellow star as antisemitic? Even if they were ignorant of the more nuanced tropes?

This speaks to normalised…
…antisemitism in Irish society: even of the most blatant kind.

2. Our media, along with our politicians, are the worst purveyors of antisemitism in this country. This type of antisemitism published in our most reputable outlets actively stokes anti Jewish sentiment in Ireland.

I’m projected to finish my PhD in March of next year, thus this will be my final Michaelmas term in Trinity.

I feel a cocktail of emotions. What was once a place of joy for me-I often described the Centre for Deaf Studies as my favourite place-is now a place I dread entering.
I have written about this for the Jewish Chronicle at length and will not repeat the same sentiments regarding antisemitism here.

Rather, I will say this: Trinity is not a university I would recommend attending. It does not protect vulnerable students.

thejc.com/lets-talk/trin…
Trinity, in my experience, protects its fellows/lecturers. Two of whom endorsed the October 7th massacre.

I, a PhD student with no power, have been brought to account and have a complaint against me for expressing truth they did so: an infringement on my freedom of expression.

I think the decision not to share the videos of the October 7th attacks publicly was a terrible decision made by Israel.

I do not think people comprehend the level of denial that I’ve experienced in Ireland.

At best, people just do not grasp the valence of brutality involved:
Image
Image
the performative sadism and cruelty of the most bestial nature.

I know people disagree.

The primary argument I hear is that ‘we do not parade our slaughtered people in front of the world for their atrocity porn’.

This is one that I understand and empathise with fully.
But this October 7th denial, which we saw unfold in real time, is only going to get worse as the months and years go on.

Despite my condemnation of Ireland’s antisemitism problem, I actually do hold faith in the goodness of the majority of my people.

I think if they…

There may come a point in life where you have to choose between the appearance of goodness and actual goodness.

For me it was October 7th. My heritage plays a large role in why I have been vocal about antisemitism since then. But in fact, more fundamentally, it comes down to…
…seeing pure evil with my own eyes on that day and experiencing people around me at best rationalise it, at worst celebrate it.

I am a raised Catholic and there was never any significant danger for me personally.

I am not motivated by self interest. Betraying my heritage…
…was an option, the only detriment being the mental burden it would have wrought on my psyche.

Betraying my Jewish friends was an option, sadly one that too many Jews have experienced.

Ultimately I made a split decision on October 7th. To be a good person rather than…

I deleted my post about the INRI initialism on the crucifix. I am profoundly depressed at the level of historical illiteracy and astounding stupidity in the comments. I can’t read anymore.

You can hate Jews/Israel all you like.

But these are incontrovertible historical facts:
1. Jesus was a Jew. He was born, lived, died, and taught as a Jew.

2. He was from Judea, not from Palestine.

At the time, Palestine did not exist as a place. The Romans changed the name ‘Judea’ to ‘Syria Palaestina’ over 100 years after Jesus’ death.

3. Jesus himself could…
…not possibly have been a Christian by organised religion.

Christianity began as a movement within Second Temple Judaism in the 1st Century CE.

Christianity was, of course, founded on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

4. Jesus could not possibly…
