Irish TD promotes anti-Semitic conspiracy theory on the floor of the Dail

Yikes. Not a great way to calm tensions given the Sally Rooney fiasco already this week.

There’s nothing wrong with what she fundamentally said; although given history sure, ‘Jewish Supremacy’ maybe isn’t the right word, but then again what do we call it in every other nation on earth when a majority elevates itself above the minorities?

"history" = the persistent claim that the Jews are an insidious force determined to dominate the world through nefarious, secretive means, which has been the basis of just about any anti-Jewish movement through history.

The second someone uses the term "Jewish supremacy", they prove themselves an ally of every anti-semitic movement in history. I see you understand that on some level, but this is also very much not the time for equivocation.

And I condemn as abhorrhent actual anti-semites and anti-semitic ideology; obviously. But I equally won't act like the abhorrent treatment of the Palestinian's and the apartheid-like state emerging in Israel today isn't happening and doesn't also deserve to be condemned simply cause the perpetrators are Jewish and might call me anti-semitic for it.

And I'm sure you're capable of doing that without using or justifying the repulsively anti-semitic language used by this Irish TD.

The language was unhelpful; sure, but not necessarily wrong either. There exists a state of Supremacy in Israel of one religious and cultural identity over others. That's undeniable, really, if you look at the facts on the ground.

And making this an argument about semantics instead of the suffering of the Palestinian people is in and of itself distasteful and very clearly the goal here. We can debate the reason's behind why Israel exist's the way it does for hours; but the fact remains, it's an inherently racist state, pretty much by design. That can't really be denied.

You're defending Nazi lingo, and now you're repeating antisemitic rhetoric about Israel being inherently racist by creation, and we're done here.

Almost at bingo!

The term Jewish supremacism isn't nonexistent- factually, there are Israelis (mostly religious nationalists) who are Jewish supremacists with opinions just as disgusting as David Duke's. But the way she presented it as Israel's core goal is, obviously, as antisemitic as they come- as are people here who jump at the chance to talk about the (((lobby))). Basically all modern antisemites use Israel as the new elders of zion, and Ireland has a history of antisemitic voices.

It's one of those terms, to me, that has an entirely different meaning coming out of a non-Jew's mouth vs. a Jewish person's mouth. Similar to discussing Chicago crime rates with a black youth leader vs. a Republican Congressman from Iowa.
