Dublin Flies Palestinian Flag Over City Hall


The Dublin City Council has laid down its authority at the feet of a mob of alt-Left extremist thug politicians bent on ensuring that enough Jews perish in order to “even-the-score” on behalf of the Palestinian Hamas warriors.  Led by United Nations-backed accusations and false assumptions, John Lyons, an ultra-Leftist mover and shaker of Irish opinion-making and the City Council have determined that the way they will show support and solidarity with the terrorist-prone Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), will be to honor their fallen heroes by flying the Palestinian flag over the capital city hall.

Lyons’ Facebook page is a veritable pro-terrorism platform where the Counselor continuously goads the Conservative caucus by calling Catholics degenerates and Israelis the mother of all whores.  Yes, sir, Lyons is a laugh a minute.  It’s no wonder that he generates so many positive responses to his divisive rhetoric.

 

Liam Hurley Mr Lyons, can you please answer one question for me. What makes the Palestinians more important than the people in Western Sahara? Or Yemen, Crimea, Sudan, Tibet, Syria, Venezuela, Kurdistan, Kashmir and so on? To follow on, if the Palestinians aren’t more important, why aren’t you flying the flags of any other nations in “solidarity”?

Your decision to fly this flag is merely pandering to your uninformed voter base, the reality is that Israel/Palestine is a minor conflict in the world at the moment. I’m glad that you take pride in flying the flag of people who teach their children to blow up and stab Jews, I’m sure your pathetic pandering to your marxist voters has made the Jewish community in Dublin (and Ireland as a whole) feel safe and valued.

David Meehan Not in my name, Shame on you and Dublin city council. A completely ill informed decision by certain councillors with a vile political agenda. They have no interest in peace and wish to cause division and distress to victims of Palestinian terrorism. If they were really interested in the peace and security of decent Israeli and Palestinians citizens they would understand that there are many complex issues on all sides and not be extreme in its bias and political posturing. This flag-flying is divisive and derives from a mentality that was rife in Northern Ireland during the height of the troubles.
Thomas O’Reilly A disgrace, this flag is the flag of Islamic terror, promoting terrorism against Israel and innocent people.

Edward O’Neill From 1948 right up to the start of the 6 day war the areas of Golan , Sinai , West Bank and Gaza and East Jeresulm were ruled by Jordan , Syria and Egypt respectively . There was absolutely nothing stopping the Palestinians from establishing their own nation under a two state policy . They chose not to do so .Fact !

Pre 6 day war the Arab league passed a motion calling for the complete destruction of Israel and begun planning for the invasion . The IDF attacked troops massed on their borders and took West Bank , Sinai , Golan and East Jerusalem to act as a buffer . The plight of the Palestinians was an afterthought . The Arab league attacked Israel again , twice actually during the War of Attrition and Yom Kippur and again the Palestinians were an afterthought .

Israel has a right to defend itself . That’s just a reality . Nobody is saying what is happening is good or right but with every neighbour Israel has having the public goal of the destruction of Israel what do you expect .

Hamas and Hezbollah and other groups continue to launch attacks on the IDF and into Israel from civilian areas which is a clear violation of the Geneva convention and international law yet I have yet to see any condemnation of them coming from your party ! Hamas officials continue to be involved in many financial scandals with aid and development money going missing and ending up resting in overseas bank account belonging to guess who , you got it :- Hamas officials ..

Israel and Egypt had to build the electricity interconnection at a cost to them of over $1B USD per year . Israeli and Egyptians hospitals treat over 40k Palestinians a year because Hamas couldn’t even keep the lights in hospitals going and sick people and babies were dying . And yet we hear nothing about this from groups such as yourself .

Abbas himself admitted to Reuters recently that the Palestinian issue could have been resolved in 2008 only he walked out of the talks .

But the thing that really bugs me about parties such as yourself is that you claim to be anti racist .. yet the degree of anti Semetism coming out in your press releases is truly disgusting . Blatantly racist garbage under the guise of political correctness .

And for the record . I have no familial link to Judaism in any form whatsoever .

The Irish Times elaborated on the letter sent from the Israeli ambassador Ze’ev Boker to the Council.

“Dublin has a long and proud tradition of welcoming new communities, and I know of many Israelis who have come to Dublin for work reasons and decided to stay,” he wrote.

“We must ask what kind of message such a gesture sends to these Israelis who are proud to now call Dublin their adopted home?

“I also know that some members of the Irish Jewish community are concerned by the negative message that the flying of the flag promotes.”

This move on the part of the Dublin City Council should prompt a boycott of travel to the motherland by Irish abroad.  Perhaps a little Leftist lesson in divestment and sanctions from the Right would be welcomed.

Another Irish candidate, Gino Kenny, raises the Palestinian flag to celebrate their victory:
