Jerusalem is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. However in recent years its skyline has begun to take on a decidedly modern twist with high rise developments expanding the city skyward. Many Jerusalemites are justifiably concerned about whether this building boom will really benefit the city and its residents - or only serve to further enrich non-resident landlords. ==Ti...

Israel is currently under attack and like many people living here (and supporters of the Jewish state abroad), I've been feeling an instinctive need to dive into online Israel advocacy. However, like some, I have very mixed feelings about the effectiveness of the activity - as well as some grievances about how hasbara fails to capture the full picture of what it's really like to live in Israel. #h...

How life has been in Jerusalem since the outbreak of fighting between Israel and Hamas on October 7th 2023. #jerusalem #israelhamaswar #gaza

At a time when much of the international community has chosen to place aid pledges to the Palestinians under review, Ireland this week announced an additional €13M of funding for the Palestinians via to UN institutions, UNRWA and OHCA. However given the very spotty history of UNRWA in abetting and assisting with Hamas's war of terror against Israel and the ongoing hostilities ... could Ireland and...

איך זה היה לגדול כמו יהודי באירלנד ... מדינה אם פחות מ-3000 יהודה סך הכל? זאת שאלה שאני מקבלת כל הזמן מישראלים. בסרטון הזה אני משתתף קצת מהנסיון שלי. כתובית: עברית.

Since the recent outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, Ireland has entrenched itself once more in its traditional opposition to the Jewish State. For Ireland's diminutive Jewish community with less than 3,000 members, being both Irish and Jewish can feel increasingly like incompatible identities. In this video, I share a little bit about my own experience growing up as a Jew in Ireland...

While the Ireland-Israel relationship has never been known as a particularly friendly one, recent weeks have seen an unprecedented level of criticism against Israel emanating from Irish politicians. Amid the backdrop of criticism and the strength of the BDS movements, Israelis are beginning to question whether it's time to return the 'favor' and boycott Irish products. Intro - 00:00 Ireland hostil...

When asked to explain their longstanding opposition to the State of Israel, many Irish critics of Israel are quick to draw upon what they see as a fitting analogy between their experience of English colonialism and what they perceive the State of Israel to be doing to Palestinian Arabs. Unfortunately like many other mendacious lies propagated about Israel - such as the accusations that Israel is a...

Today, in Dublin, People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett engaged in (yet another) protracted rant against Israel. During the course of today's address - flanked by Irish police - he referred to Israel only as the "Israeli regime." He also endorsed another comparison between Israel's treatment of the Palestinians and Nazi Germany - a manifestation of anti-Semitism according to the IHRA workin...

Opinion/vlog: Nefesh b'Nefesh is keen on holding photos opps at Ben Gurion Airport showing new batches of immigrants (olim hadashim) arriving in Israel. However, assuming the Israeli identity isn't something that happens overnight. It's okay to accept that the journey of becoming Israeli can take a lifetime. #Aliyah #Israel

Although Hamas's paramilitary wing, the Izz ad-Din Al Qassam Brigade, was the main perpetrator of the October 7th massacres, there are several other paramilitary factions and splinter groups located in the Gaza Strip - and Israel's mission is to obliterate all of them.

Ireland frequently claims to be officially "neutral" when it comes to Israel even though its foreign policy towards the world's only Jewish State makes this claim basically laughable. A recent example of how this claim does not translate into any semblance of reality came when Dublin City Council rescinded an invitation to hold a meeting between its members and Israeli Ambassador to Ireland Dana E...

The Irish government has made its first reaction to inflammatory rhetoric from parliamentarian Richard Boyd Barrett calling for his supporters to rise up in "intifada" (violent struggle) against Israel. Pressed by Gript Media's Ben Scallan on whether the rhetoric would constitute legally proscribed hate speech under the revision to Ireland's hate speech code that the government is contemplating, D...

If the connection between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel is a fundamental component of Judaism, then how can it be that there are Jews who self-identify as "anti-Zionist" and oppose Jewish sovereignty in today's Israel? This is a good question that I was asked recently in the comments section and speaks to the fundamental differences between two major conceptions of Judaism: religious an...

Ireland is frequently accused of being the most anti-Israel country in Europe. However, Ireland is also home to those who support and defend the Jewish state - and who aren't shy about being vocal in doing so. Today I spoke to one of those supporters, Ciarán O'Raghallaigh from Cavan in Ireland. I had a broad ranging conversation with Ciarán touching upon Irish support for Israel, the perceived med...

Today the world's oldest active journalist Walter Bingham published an opinion piece in the Jerusalem Post asserting that the Jewish diaspora has no future - a claim with which I agree. Here's a readout of his important piece. Reading: Daniel Rosehill.
