www.wikipedia.org Hatred of Israel reaches new levels in Ireland: A couple of months ago, an outrageous anti-Israel display was held on Dublin's main pedestrian street, presenting IDF [Israel Defense Forces] soldiers as Nazi troops. As part of the display, sponsored by the Dublin City Council, a group of pro-Palestinian activists set up a model of the separation fence [along the West Bank border] and an IDF roadblock. The activists dressed up as soldiers and beat, humiliated, and pointed their weapons at other activists dressed as Palestinians in front of thousands of Irish citizens and tourists.

Members of the Irish parliament have also claimed that Israel "kidnapped," abused, and undressed Irish nationals who took part in a Gaza-bound flotilla stopped by the Israeli army. Israel has strongly denied the accusations. But that's not all.

A Facebook group called for heavy rocks to be thrown at the Israeli Embassy building in Dublin. Anti-Israel elements recently vandalized a Dublin auditorium slated to host a concert by Israeli singer Izhar Ashdot. The Facebook accounts of Israeli Embassy officials have been attacked by Irish hackers, and in addition, anti-Israeli elements attempted to disrupt an Israeli film festival organized by the Embassy in Dublin. "The Irish government is feeding its people with anti-Israel hatred," an Israeli official argued. "What we are seeing here is clearly anti-Semitism."

Foreign Ministry sources said Ireland had undoubtedly become the most hostile country to Israel in the European Union, "pushing all of Europe's countries to a radical and uncompromising approach."
