    McConnon said she had long been a protester against the Israeli government but was still proud to be an Israeli.

    She admits to being a proud Israeli after they’ve done a mask-off genocide and wonders why people are giving her shit for it? Must be antisemitism.

    Just for fun, I looked up Bar Clara Mendez McConnon on social media. Unsurprisingly, it’s about 80% full-throated support for genocide, 10% explaining why Israel isn’t doing a genocide genocide, and 10% Harry Potter.

    All through the lens of, “Wow! Look how anti-Semitic Ireland is! They hate genocide!”

    Bar Clara Mendez McConnon, 33, is originally from the upper Galilee region, which borders Lebanon, but has lived in Dublin on and off since 2012. McConnon is currently in Tel Aviv with her Irish husband and their two young children due to the discrimination they have received.

    have they tried not supporting nazis

    Should the US start a war with Iran, I fully expect “being opposed to the war against Iran is anti-semitic” to be deployed sincerely.

    Members of the Israeli community […] have emigrated

    Sounds like an opportunity for conscience-havers to get lower-priced real estate and citizenship from Ireland! Buy the dip!

    Orli Degani was dropped as an election candidate for the Social Democrats because of her stance on the war in Gaza

    Any Israelis or Jewish people who don’t support genocide reporting incidents of antisemitism or nah?
