Ireland—Most Hostile Country to Israel in EU

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.”
