You've been looking in the wrong direction, the dangers are coming from the Left - read OP

The Jews must be antisemites too according to your warped logic

It's a fact that Soros uses his vast amount of wealth to influence politics all throughout the world, it's not a conspiracy, it's not antisemitic, it's reality, and reality doesn't change because you want it to.

Netanyahu, the longest serving leader of Israel, shares the exact same views. The point is, that it's not antisemitic when they do it, yet it is when anyone else does it. It's a cheap tactic, used to make people ignore valid criticism of the likes of Soros.

Being vocal about the excesses (to put it mildly) of Israel in terms of how they act in the Middle Eastern region isn't "antisemitism", nor will it ever be "antisemitism" no matter how some people, including Israelis, try to frame it. As far as the "left" is concerned, that is where the majority of it's so called, "antisemitism" lies, irrespective of the few genuine cases of real antisemitism that exists on that side of the aisle. And even most of those "genuine" cases have usually been limited to something relatively idiotic like shooting their mouth off in a tweet or, shock horror, liking a tweet.

But, without a doubt, there has been a concerted effort over the past few years to frame any and all criticism of Israel and/or antizionism as "antisemitism" and to a point, it works. Because all one has to do is shout the slur and people raise their heads. And the most vocal critics of Israeli policy in recent times have been people on the left, and because Israel has taken a lurch to the right and has made some new "friends" there that volume of vocality has become louder amongst certain circles. But there's rarely any actual hard evidence to go along with the slur. It's just, mainly, allegations and he said/she said indistinction. In fact so vague is all of this, that to be labelled an "antisemite" these days all one has to do is speak out out against yet another Israeli incursion into the West Bank or to, merely, be supportive of something like the BDS movement.

But it wasn't the left wing of politics that were shouting "Jews will not replace us" at Charlottesville a few years ago, a phrase that has its roots in the "great replacement" conspiracy belief so beloved of right wingers and white nationalists in general. And the spectre of holocaust denial is a very firm feature of the right wing as well. It's no surprise at all that a lot of people who express such sentiments eventually end up exposing themselves as real antisemites too.

And speaking of the holocaust, that's where the antisemitism of the right outstrips anything and everything that may attempted to be levelled at the left in modern times. Because that is the yardstick of judgement in real terms, and those on the right have been very eager to excuse their particular wing of politics from that little venture.

But in the noise of all of the cheap, politically motivated, yap about the so called "antisemitism" of the Left, it'll never be forgotten that it was the Right wing that did this to the Jews...

and this...

and then this...

A person who donates money to partisan political organisations isn't a philanthropist obviously. They are a political donor.

@I.R.Y.E.D 'Even a few posts from like minded people in the Christianity sub forums on here, but they also big contributors to the conspiracy theories sub forums.'

I haven't seen that and I read both those forums regularly.

Only a sub-grouping of American Protestants believe in milliennialist Israel theology.

Few if any Irish people believe in it.

@Tony EH

While you are correct regarding the majority not leaving the states, you can actually find pockets of them here and Irish born believers, as well as groups in the UK.

I know of two people who left the Baptist church in Phibsborough because of the retroic around those of the Jewish faith from a American pastor in the 90s.

You have the likes of James McConnell attracting people from both sides of the border, but at least even Evangelical Alliance Ireland had the sense to call on the government to ban Steven Anderson from visiting the county.

It isn't like Catholic groups here are exempt from ties to groups in the states either. Still laugh at the memory of the stickers all over phone boxes etc in Dublin in the 90s saying condoms didn't protect people from HIV/AIDS which was a theory from a US group and propagated by the Knights of Columbanus here, but do wonder who fell for it apart from a neighbour of my dad who is really down the whole conspiracy theory rabbit hole

You said, in your original post "Having an elected government..." did you not? This would imply the parties actually IN govenrment at the time, and not "other" parties.

Also, I was referring to Bertie Ahearne (who was taoseacht in 2001, not Charlie) who pretented to be left-wing ("I'm a socialist!") but was in reality a right-wing oppertunist.

All of this is irrelevant because, if you have to go back to the times of Bertie, Charlie and for God's sake Dev (who's before even my time, and that's not easy) then you're looking for age-old threats in order to portray an agenda and not looking at anything relevant to the modern day.

Israel is a nation not all Jewish people

And not all Jewish people are Isreal nationals.

You seem to be using them interchangeably and that is not correct.

I don't think that use is accidental.

Still all clear here. No danger to report sire. 🫡

That’s gas. Almost as if being a hateful, spiteful little bollocks that doxxes and deadnames has repurcussions. 🤷

He also doesn’t have a leg to stand on if he was to sue the first venue as a lot of their business comes from the LGBT community. They took a commercial decision to not host him as they had representatives of these LGBT companies suggest they wouldn’t be booking again if the venue was to turn their back on the trans community by renting out their venue to someone who has done so much damage to the trans community.

Tldr/ He f*cked around, he found out.

A venue isn't required to host him... On top of that, even talktv were laughing at him. Also sounds distinctly like they didn't inform the venue who would be performing... He did do the show outside of the Scottish Parliament and it sounded pretty bad. 😀 So he got his public square so free speech completely intact.

Why do you think a LGBT friendly venue would be happy hosting a transphobe?
