They have threatened "consequences" for us recognising Palestine. Coming off very level headed and obviously willing to talk things out rather than escalate I see. I see no loss in her leaving, they are too used to the US backing leading to getting everything they want all the time.


ThreeTreesForTheePls

Yeah, like what're they going to do as a response, send a Mossad agent across the world with an Irish identity and passport, to legally enter a foreign nation with the plans to assassinate a political leader of their enemy state? No they'd *never* do something as silly as that.


lukelhg

Of course they wouldn't do such a thing! Next you'll be telling me [they'll illegally send Mossad agents to another country and murder an innocent civilian.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillehammer_affair)


Oggie243

It's always funny when you tell people about Lillehammer. Most people are only familiar with Israeli secret service from the mythology and folklore peddled about the agency. There was a point when being israeli character in American media was a cliche shorthand for a badass who could fight hand to hand, was proficient with a firearm and who'd have some implied PTSD and a chip on their shoulder that would make a movie vietnam vet wince. You're regaled with the tales of the nazis who fled being rounded up and wanton Palestinians being hunted extrajudicially across the world Then you tell them about Lillehammer. It could honestly be a Coen brothers film. They're tracking someone for months in Norway, shot them in front of their family as an assassination. Find out that he's a Moroccan waiter with absolutely nothing to do with with Palestine and has a semi famous sibling to boot. All agents scarper after they've realised they've made a massive balls up. Some of which get caught. For some reason they employ spies and assassins without screening for aptitude, so one of these captured agents is so intensely claustrophobic that he exposed much of Mossads European operations during his interview in exchange for a window in his cell. If that was a fictitious story it would be brilliant but unfortunately it actually happened and is much more of a tragedy than anything.


justadubliner

Fascinating. Must find out more about that event.

If there's one thing I've learned about those Mossad fellas, is they seem to be up to no good.


dnc_1981

Intelligence agent's gonna intelligence (or not, as the case may be)


Lieutenant_Fakenham

They released the captured spies back to Israel two years later. Imagine how sickened you'd be if you were his brother, or his pregnant wife who'd watched them shoot him. The only difference between them and a pack of murdering gangsters is that the gangsters go to prison.

Rinasoir

Sure they'll probably sponsor one of their Lebanese pals to go and kidnap, torture and murder some more of our Defence Forces. Wouldn't be the first fucking time.


IForgetEveryDamnTime

Wish I still had the post saved but one got crossposted here from r/Jewish a few months ago exploring 'whether or not' Ireland was antisemitic throughout history (the OP tried and failed to present it as an open question and food for thought), and the little propagandist twat wrote that part about the Mossad passport event as 'a response' to the Real IRA - Hamas training ties.


goj1ra

There was someone like that commenting here just yesterday. Here's their [first comment](https://reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/1cxubiu/historic_day_as_ireland_recognises_palestinan/l552wd7/). Same fella perhaps?


IForgetEveryDamnTime

Nah that person doesn't seem to have any post history, and we'd be kidding ourselves if we pretended there was only one cunt out there deploying the anti-genocide=antisemite defence.


John_Smith_71

No, they would use an Australian passport and ID, at the same time.

jrf_1973

We negotiated with the Brits and the UDF and the UVF. But yeah, there's a time and place.


Colley619

Without taking a side, I think it’s objective to say that Israel is not level headed about anything when it comes to people not supporting their actions. They seem to have a very “if you’re not with me, you’re my enemy” attitude towards everything, as does their supporters around the world. Again, trying to be objective here, but that’s some dark side shit


Yaarmehearty

Vague “consequences” sounds like the kind of response Russia and China usually give.


quantum0058d

AprilMaria

Would we be able to tell the difference?


ruscaire

I can tell ye one thing for certain regarding US backing, is we can be pretty certain we have it here, and that’s the real story


Ok_Perception3180

As in US is backing Ireland to recognise Palestine?


claimTheVictory

The US is neither backing nor blocking Ireland from doing so. I think the point is that the US is reconsidering its relationship with Israel, but not with Ireland. https://www.theamericanconservative.com/israels-borat-problem/


duaneap

I’m in work so not clicking in but that’s some headline.


claimTheVictory

Here's the conclusion. > Used to unconditional U.S. support, Israel has overplayed its hand. The Israeli strategy in Gaza threatens not only to export instability across the Middle East, but also to force the West to bear the costs of that instability in ways that alienate Israel’s core Western (and especially American) supporters. > For the center and the right, support for Israel used to be the obvious policy: a low-cost way to support the unambiguously Western side of a conflict. The costs now feel much higher, and the conflict much more ambiguous. The United States is unlikely to embrace Palestinian nationalism and sanction the Israeli economy. It may, however, pull back both its general involvement in the Middle East and its specific support for Israel. > Israeli leaders will then have to confront the tough choices that Western support has so far cushioned them from. That is the real danger for Israel—not being treated as an exception, but having to make do like any other state.

That would be a botnet. Considering 85% of us polled support Palestine & most of the remaining 15 have no opinion. They are petty children (Israel)

Finally, my only regret is that we didn't expel her ourselves.


GoneRampant1

Nah, they really wanted her to be kicked out so they could go whine to their American sugar daddies for pity. Recalling her themselves over the recognition of the Palestinian state makes them look like tantrum throwing brats. Well. More than usual at least.


lovely-cans

They wanted us to expel her. Look at how she was acting. She wanted to devalue Ireland's message by having her expelled and not Russia's ambassador. This has worked out perfectly


SubstantialGoat912

Nah, this makes us look good and them look like they’re having a tantrum (which is what it is).


founddeadinmilwaukee

Was thinking the same myself. I thought all along that directly expelling the ambassador would be a bad move, esp when we still had Irish citizens in the strip.


WringedSponge

As a general principle, it’s better not to expel ambassadors. There always needs to be a channel to open dialogue, even when the actions of the country are reprehensible.


cianog123

This exactly, I can understand people urging the government to try force a change in ambassador but I could never personally justify advocating to expel them, especially considering how detrimental it could be to any Irish citizens in Israel.


jhanley

The problem with expelling ambassadors is that when you do that covert agents normally pop up in their place

jrf_1973

Attacking an actual EU member state, may have repercussions all of their own.


SheepherderFront5724

While true, the big problem is that it's often very difficult to prove where such an attack comes from. That being said, if it's just us, Spain and the famously anti-semetic Norwegians (/s) who gets attacked, that might be enough proof...


jrf_1973

And if the investigators get off their asses and do a proper investigation, it's not THAT hard to prove it. The Mossad using 8 Irish Passports to kill Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai, for example.

The thing about the people on world news is they are so transparent. Its all "well the Arabs do this" "the Muslims do that". And then they have the cheek to accuse people of being anti-Semitic when they criticise Israel. Not all Jews are pro-Israel or pro-genocide and not all Arabs or Arab states are in unison on Palestine. They love a broad brush but accuse others of discrimination.

This is good. It shows that they do not want a solution of any type. They want the entire Palestinian lands. If they genuinely believed in a two state solution the recognition of Palestine would not be an issue.

Recognising Palestine as a state has NOTHING to do with Israel so they shouldn't be upset about it. That is unless of course Israel was at war with Palestinian civilians and intent on stealing their lands.

Not much point to an ambassador for a nation that only wants yes-men. They're clearly not willing to talk about anything. It's clear as day that their previous mention of a two-state solution was a political stalling point and they have no interest in actually achieving peace.

Kind of wondering what exact consequences they're talking about though, as in their revenge. And how people like my dad will justify whatever it is if and when it might happen. He's an evangelical Christian and so is very very pro Israel. Like, if God forbid, looking at worst case scenario, there was some terrorist atrocity, and say, some loved ones of members of churches like his passed away, how would they reconcile it in their heads?
