The stink of Jew-hatred in Ireland

Last Wednesday, while wading through the fevel swamps of Indymedia, I came across this bit of glue-sniffing induced conspiracy rambling. Of course this charge of Arafat being poisoned is a new aphrodisiac for the Islamo-fascists and their fellow travelers, but I was surprised to see it spread to Ireland.

Ok, I have a romantic view of Ireland ... and I feel a few tugs of regret that such might be coming from the land where my daughters have fairly close heritage (their dad, my ex, is 2nd generation Irish-American). I realize, too, the anti-Western Civ types can be found all over and when actually in Western countries they are usually a sad, self-loather kind of creepizoid. I decided to write it off as I do the inmates of the democraticunderground asylum.

But then this showed up:

Gardai are investigating links between an Irish neo-fascist website and an upsurge in anti-semitism in Dublin.
Three Jewish sites in the capital were targeted late Thursday night or early Friday morning, with swastikas daubed on a synagogue, a museum and a cemetery.

Detectives are now exploring if there are any connections between the anti-semitic incidents and the Stormfront Ireland discussion forum, which is part of the Stormfront/White Pride-World Wide internet site.

-------

A senior Garda source said they had to consider the possibility of links between an emerging neo-fascist group in Dublin and the apparently co-ordinated vandalism.

'There is plenty of anti-semitic material on this site from Irish contributors, so we will try and see if there are any connections. We have to examine every angle on this worrying development,' the officer said.

Stormfront Ireland, among other things, promotes the cause of Holocaust revisionism. In one email posted by 'Barry' it is suggested that 'Ireland is an easy country to do Revisionism in.'

For all the oppression and horrendous, near-genocidal, attacks the Irish have historically endured, I'm at a real loss to explain this.

Hi Darleen,
I think you need to revise your thinking to a macro level rather than a micro level. It is evident your lack of knowledge of Irish history (www.irishholocaust.org) is one such reason for your zealous title. We choose not to bleet on about the past, but tend to look to the future and let the bigots live in their little worlds.
I am Irish, live in Ireland and we are liberal, forward thinking and accept other nationalities with open arms, share our culture and learn from other cultures. The element you have read and posted on could not amount to more than a handful of idiots.
