Hey Ireland, no homeland for the Jews? How about no homeland for the Irish? Oh and BTW STFU, who asked you? Go blow up your schoolchildren so that you can have your own country eh? Wasn't it the IRA that gave lessons in terrorist murders to the Palestinian Arabs?
Ireland's Zionist slurs like Iran, says Israel
Ireland's Zionist slurs like Iran
EXCLUSIVE BY ROB HARRIS
IRELAND sparked a diplomatic outcry last night by refusing to back Jewish rights to a homeland.An aide to Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern told the Jewish Telegraph that Zionism was a religious issue and refused to take a position on "an Old Testament mandate".
The Israeli government hit back, comparing the Republic to the hardline Iranian regime.
"I am very sorry that Ireland takes this position because in doing that they support [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad," blasted a senior aide to premier Ariel Sharon.
Last month Ahmadinejad told a "World without Zionism" conference that Israel should be "wiped off the map".
We are lifting the lid on these explosive comments after Mr Ahern refused to go on the record to denounce claims by former Irish minister Justin Keating that Jews have mounted a "self-serving and untruthful Zionist myth" to lay claim to Israel. John Kennedy, a foreign policy adviser to Mr Ahern, said the Republic would recognise Israel only in its modern form and would not comment on any historical claims on the land.
Mr Kennedy said: "Support for Israel isn't premised on Zionism. Our support for Israel is that its effect in being. Zionism may be what brought it to be there, but Zionism is essentially a religious issue - a faith issue. I don't think you're going to get the Taoiseach to take a position on that."
Mossad head Meir Dagan, who was listening to our interview, pointed out: "We were here 1,600 years before the Arabs." Mr Gissin added:
"If you don't support Zionism ipso facto you are actually saying, in the logical progression, we don't support the right of the Jewish people to have a state of their own, in their own ancestral homeland.
