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
The Irish state agency
Irish Aid
sends my tax money to anti-Israel NGOs
and even to the terrorist Palestinian Authority.
I am even forced to pay through my taxes for Irish and EU
aid to the vile Palestinian Authority.
Hamas brags about aid money "turned into weapons", June 2007.
"Two years ago, one bullet in Gaza cost around €3.50 - now it would cost 35 cents. The American aid money has been translated into weapons. Thank you, America!"
I am forced to pay through my taxes for Palestinian "security" forces (i.e. Islamist terrorists)
and for indoctrination of hatred in
Palestinian schools and TV.
"Settlement", 2003.
A taxpayer-supported anti-Israel exhibition.
"This project acknowledges that artists are not 'neutral' beings, divorced from social and political realities, but often hold partisan viewpoints which are articulated through numerous and complex strategies."
Though, oddly enough, none of them hold a pro-Israel viewpoint.
The Israeli Consul General
said:
"I was annoyed that they mixed culture and politics and joined the anti-Israel bandwagon.
A gay and lesbian event is not just another festival,
gays and lesbians have fought for their rights,
events such as these should promote openness and dialogue, a boycott rules out dialogue.
A boycott ignores the fact that that
none of the other Mediterranean countries would even dream
of offering sponsorship for an LGBT festival.
They see scenes from Lebanon and think it means all Israelis are bad,
you wouldn't expect an arts festival to be so closed minded."
I am forced to pay through my taxes for this politicised body.
Ian O'Doherty attacks the vote:
"The fact that Israel is the least segregated society in the region,
and that Israeli Arabs enjoy more freedom than their counterparts
in other, Arab-run, countries is something that tends to be conveniently forgotten"
I am forced to pay through my taxes for this politicised body.
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.
I say "apparently" because I have found no union statement on this.
Nor have I found any news item on this in the Irish media.
All we have is an IPSC statement.
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.
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.
