@Holocaust_Irl My wife asks same, my answer is same. I do find outside Dublin many are more generous, willing to listen; the ignorant and unsurprising hateful comments particularly on X are not always representative. That said general govt and media lack of issue engagement has been shameful.

My op-Ed in today's Irish Times on the current state of antisemitism in Ireland. "A report on antisemitism in Ireland, released last week by the Jewish Representative Council of Ireland, had some deeply distressing findings: 143 incidents were recorded over a six-month period ending in January 2026. If this were the UK, with 120 times more Jews, that would represent 17,000 incidents."

PEN America and PEN Sydney condemn any actions that place detainees at risk and urges all parties to the conflict to prioritize civilian safety. Iranian authorities must immediately guarantee the safety and whereabouts of all detainees and release those imprisoned solely for the peaceful exercise of their right to freedom of expression, in accordance with Iranian provisions such as Resolution 211 and international human rights law. pen.org/press-release/…

You have only to read often incredibly vitriolic comments to this and report reposts to recognize the problem; they make for depressing reading. Question is: how do political, media classes respond? The answer is likely also predictable and depressing. Point thus made, sadly.

A report on antisemitic incidents in Ireland, the first of its kind is released by the Jewish Representative Council of Ireland today. That the JRCI had to compile the report itself is telling; Despite entreaties and warnings for the past two years from the Jewish community,

An epic run: Veteran foreign correspondent Fergal Keane to leave the BBC after 37 years. And still telling the truth as he departs. Yes 1000 times to this. @fergalkeane47

I stand in solidarity with Narges Mohammadi, a tireless fighter for women, human rights and freedom in Iran. She has endured horrific violence in detention and her health is at serious risk. Now, after another sham trial, she faces more than 17 years in prison. But Narges

Exclusive: The Nobel Committee say they have credible reports that Iranian Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi has been severely beaten in custody. The allegations are graphic and horrific. Nobel chair Jørgen Frydnes calls it “cruel and inhumane treatment, a blatant violation of international human rights law.”

🚨URGENT: Islamic Republic Regime committed a massacre After more than 70 hours of near-total internet shutdown, Narges Foundation is receiving absolutely horrific reports of mass shooting of protesters by Islamic Republic forces that has resulted in at least, we emphasize, at least over two thousand protesters killed. According to reports Iran’s security forces are using lethal force against protesters nationwide. This is a sweeping crackdown unfolding under the cover of a digital blackout. Mass arrests are on going as families are seen gathered at centers full of dead bodies looking for the remains of their loved ones. The world needs to be pay close attention to what the regime in Iran just did. Thousands killed and injured. Thousands more rounded up in scale never seen before. Stand with people of Iran. #Iran #Iranprotest #FreeNarges #NargesMohammadi #InternetShutdown

...your business. Instead of engaging with the community and listening, you threaten but your threats are empty and devoid of any moral foundation. Come after those who are willing to take you on if you wish, but leave @RachelMoiselle and her family out of your ignorant posts.

like your intellect are empty, vitriolic and ignorant. I'm more than happy to debate antisemitism and hate speech in Ireland with you at any time. You want to do something about someone: try me instead of threats against Ms. Moiselle. You bring shame on yourself, your family...
