UK police have, for once, shown a rare bit of single-tier policing spine. The same police who routinely kick in the doors of people who post perfectly legal opinions online sit on their truncheons when Muslims run violently amok or rape thousands of little white girls for decades on end. Just once, though, they’ve actually done their job.
British police have charged Liam O’Hanna, a member of the Irish rap group Kneecap, with a terrorism offence for allegedly waving a flag in support of Hezbollah at a concert in London.
Although the gig took place in November last year, Metropolitan Police were not made aware of the incident until April when a video surfaced online.
In a statement, police said the 27-year-old displayed the flag “in such a way or in such circumstances as to arouse reasonable suspicion that he is a supporter of a proscribed organisation”, in this case Hezbollah.
Like most anti-Semitic Pallywankers, when caught out, they’re furiously denying the blatantly obvious.
After the investigation was announced, Kneecap said it had “never supported Hamas or Hezbollah”.
Oh, really?
Earlier this month, the police said they would investigate online videos allegedly showing the band calling for the death of British MPs and shouting “up Hamas, up Hezbollah”.
It’s hardly surprising, given that Kneecap are Irish, though. Ireland has become – or has simply reverted to being – an epicentre of virulent anti-Semitism. Ever since October 7, ‘pro-Palestine’ fervour has swept Ireland. As Pallywankers will, they of course deny that they’re motivated by blatant Jew-hating.
The figures say otherwise.
Antisemitic attitudes among Christians in Ireland are “disturbing” and “Medieval,” due in large part to entrenched religious beliefs held by the Catholic community, according to a new survey.
Conducted by Professors Motti Inbari of the University of North Carolina at Pembroke and Kirill Bumin of Boston University and Metropolitan College, the study’s findings revealed even stronger anti-Jewish sentiments in the Republic of Ireland than they found in their survey of the United Kingdom, published in January, the authors said.
The December 2024 study of 1,014 Christian adults in Ireland found that a third believe Jewish people “still talk too much about what happened to them in the Holocaust. Some 49 per cent agreed with the statement “Jews are more loyal to Israel than this country” and 36 per cent said they believe Jews “have too much power in the business world.” About 31 per cent agreed with statements that Jews “don’t care what happens to anyone but their own kind,” and that they are hated “because of the way they behave.”
The Jew-hating on the streets is being reflected all the way to the top.
The findings come amid heightened tensions between Ireland and Israel, following Israel’s decision to close its embassy in Ireland in December and Dublin’s joining South Africa at the International Court of Justice in its genocide case against Israel.
An ADL survey shows that one-fifth of Ireland’s adult population holds anti-Semitic views. Like Gaza, Irish schoolchildren are even bombarded with anti-Semitism in the school curriculum, courtesy of pro-Hamas group ‘Teachers for Palestine’. The curriculum slanders Israel as ‘genocidal’, yet completely omits any reference to the October 7 atrocities, the Israeli hostages or Hamas’ constant rocket attacks on Israel.
Sadly, the revival of anti-Semitism in Ireland should surprise no one. Ireland has a long and deplorable history of anti-Semitism. Sinn Féin founder, newspaperman Arthur Griffith, was a rabid anti-Semite who ranted against “Jewish usurers and pickpockets in each country”, and that “Jews are pretty sure to be traitors if they get the chance”. Griffith also published Irish Nationalist Frank Hugh O’Donnell’s declaration that “the Three Evil Influences of the century were the Pirate, the Freemason and the Jew”.
Sinn Féin are still peddling anti-Jewish hate. MP Réada Cronin has spewed years of anti-Semitic bile online, claiming that Jews were “responsible for European wars”, that Adolf Hitler was a “pawn of the Rothschilds”, and that the Mossad was “influencing” British elections. Cronin never faced disciplinary action for her hate. Another Sinn Féin MP, Chris Andrews, blithered that Hitler was not “too far wrong”, while Irish MEP Mick Wallace frequently shares anti-Jewish material on social media.
The Irish hold extremely antisemitic views in comparison to other Western countries, [study co-author Kirill Bumin] said.
“It’s important to understand the points of reference,” he said. “If you compare Ireland to Iran, Ireland looks great. But when you compare it to other advanced democracies in the Western world, Ireland has a significant problem, and a failure to acknowledge that problem and to understand the interconnectedness of different narratives shaping it allows it to persist.”
The swastika is always lurking just underneath the shamrocks.
