The Irish left and Israel - Ireland's tax against Israel




 

Irish Aid

Anti-Israel NGOs funded by the Irish taxpayer:

Tax-funded anti-Israel art

Trade union activism




Ireland's tax against Israel

As an Irish taxpayer, I am forced by the state to donate money to anti-Israel "charities", anti-Israel NGOs and anti-Israel artworks. I am even forced to donate money to the terrorist Palestinian Authority.

I am ashamed of what my country does with my tax money.

Brian Cowen, 25 June 2003, said that the terrorist Arafat was "the symbol of the hope of self-determination for the Palestinian people".



Leon Klinghoffer, the disabled Jew murdered by Arafat in an attack on a cruise ship in 1985.
Arafat's men, like the Nazis they are, singled out Klinghoffer as a Jew, and shot him in the forehead and chest as he sat helpless in his wheelchair. They threw his body and wheelchair overboard.
When that bastard Arafat died in 2004, Michael D. Higgins led a candlelit tribute to him.
But Klinghoffer's daughters said: "Leon Klinghoffer, our father, was one innocent civilian among thousands who were murdered under the rule of Yasir Arafat and the P.L.O. As a family who has unfortunately been touched by Mr. Arafat's terrorism, we find that our only solace in his death is that he cannot kill anyone ever again."





Irish Aid - Using my taxes to campaign against Israel



I am forced to pay through my taxes for Irish aid to the Palestinians.
Above is the section on "Palestine" from the 2011 annual report of Irish Aid.

Ireland funds the anti-Israel NGO Miftah

Irish trade unions

Similar to the state abusing the taxpayers by using taxes for anti-Israel purposes, trade unions invariably abuse their position by using members' fees to fund anti-Israel activism.


Ireland's largest trade union, SIPTU, abuses its position by using the fees of its members to pay for anti-Israel agitation and partnership with the oppressive and terrorist Palestinian Authority.
This is an event called "Palestine: A Celebration" hosted by SIPTU and the Palestinian Authority, 17 Sept 2011.



SIPTU abuses its position by forcing its members to donate to the anti-Israel Michael D. Higgins' campaign for President in 2011.
From Standards in Public Office Commission report, Feb 2012.


  

Mags O'Brien

Mags O'Brien (Irish trade unionist, Trade Union Friends of Palestine) has a particular hostility to Israel.
  


Mags O'Brien expresses the left's delusion that in supporting the Palestinians they are somehow "non-violently" standing for "civil liberties", like the "freedom riders" in 1960s America.
From SIPTU magazine, June 2011.



Irish "feminists" Mags O'Brien (Trade Union Friends of Palestine) and Freda Hughes (Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign) express solidarity with Palestinian women on International Women's Day, 8 Mar 2011.



Mags O'Brien, 24 Sept 2021, mourns the death of Fatah terrorist Hussein Masalma.
Hussein Masalma was jailed by Israel since 2002, apparently for "planning to carry out a suicide attack".



Fatah gave Hussein Masalma a military funeral in Sept 2021.
I guess they knew what he was.
Note the Fatah flags.

Banned in Iran: This site is banned in Iran.

Blocked on Twitter by the regressive left and Islamists: I love debate. I love ideas. But the Western left and their friends the Islamic right do not return the favour. Their response to opposing ideas, whether expressed politely or robustly, is often to block. See Who blocks me on Twitter.

I like debate. But I do have rules. See Who I block on Twitter.

Twitter is broken, 2016 to 2022: I am on Twitter at markhumphrys. Twitter was a great place for debate before 2016. You could meet everyone in the world, and argue about ideas. Starting in 2016, Twitter became increasingly broken. It became full of reporting and bans and censorship. In 2019, Twitter even started shadowbanning me for no reason that was ever explained, or could be appealed. By 2022, everyone was looking for a better place to debate.

Twitter is saved, 2022: In 2022 Elon Musk bought Twitter and started to end the censorship. It looks great so far. Twitter seems to be saved.

Campaigns to silence me: I now have no less than two entries on the Banned List at Academics for Academic Freedom. This is a list of "individuals who were banned from speaking at universities in the UK and Ireland, or faced campaigns to silence them, or sack them for their views." The two campaigns to silence me were the BLM protests (unsuccessful) and the Israel debate (partially successful, in that it drove the debate off campus).
