It was reported in THE TIMES this week (13 July) that the Israelis have launched a concerted campaign against the Irish state's aid to the Palestinian people. Irish Aid, the Irish government's foreign aid charity was accused by Benjamin Netanyahu of helping people who want to destroy Israel. The Irish prime minister, Leo Varadkar, rejected the Israeli claim on Wednesday of this week. The spokesman in another Irish party cited a letter which shows a concerted attack on Ireland. "NGO Monitor, a Jerusalem-based organisation that has been closely linked to the Israeli government, claimed in the letter, sent on May 16, that Irish Aid, Christian Aid Ireland, and Trócaire had ties to terrorism and antisemitism." (page 6). The opinion was expressed in the Irish parliament that extreme Israeli settlers might get the idea that Irish charity workers can be a legitimate target for violence.
If the Israelis want a fight, the Irish will give them one.
