 Hello friends and subscribers warm welcome back to my YouTube channel Daniel Rosal here as usual in Jerusalem, and I want to do a video today regarding what I'm going to call Ireland's fake neutrality via VV Israel Palestinian conflict because I think that there are certain elements of Ireland's very very hostile policy towards Israel that are Unique and there are others that are not unique right? There's a lot of countries Who are anti Israel broadly speaking Ireland's kind of chosen a very unique position among the EU in the extent of its Antibody, but I think this is my contention that one of the unique features of Ireland's approach to Israel is that it insists that it's neutral when it is very very clearly To anyone with a brain not neutral and there's a million and one examples of Ireland's fake neutrality or why I call it a fake Neutrality that we could look at but I thought I would describe today What I came across on Twitter, which is just an example of why this neutrality is is not a real thing So I'm just gonna try to actually have this ordered slightly wrongs We're gonna begin the story of the Israeli ambassador's attempt to meet with the Lord Mayor of Dublin, right? So I came out in the news like a couple of weeks ago that the Israeli ambassador to Ireland lady called Dana Ehrlich requested a meeting with the Lord Mayor of Dublin, right as as happens. That's what Embassies are there to do and I've raised the question before is there any point in having the Israeli Embassy operating in Dublin when so many people in Ireland seem to want to have a kicked out and when it attempts to dialogue and people Would say well, we want to have open channels of communication. We want to dialogue, but look what happens when When Israel wants to dialogue when Ireland wanted to but it's want to point out when Ireland wanted to dialogue in Israel To secure the release of Emily hand the Irish is ready Girl, it seems to be that that dialogue was successful But we're not seeing reciprocation from the Irish side who do not want to meet with us Israel and Israeli leaders So I came out in the news that The Lord Mayor of Dublin, Dahid Eroshta had said oh, we I got this request from the Israeli Embassy to meet with me Unlike what there what other countries would it be controversial that an ambassador wanted to meet with you that this would have To be something that would get to the papers But such is the level of absolute extreme hostility regarding Ireland in in Israel so anyway, this came out in the news and The Lord Mayor felt the need to point out that the Israeli ambassador asked to meet with me as in It wasn't me asking to meet with her and I raised Raised this a group leader is meeting. I'm just reading where the blue little dot thingy is on my screen I expressed that I was happy to refuse this request Okay, so This was initially it was like it was going to go ahead But then they did a reversal and this was the open letter that the Lord Mayor of Dublin's office shared on Social media this was that they just kind of did you know a copy of the letter as they sent it to the Embassy Dear ambassador, I refer to your recent request for a meeting in the mansion house On receipt of this letter. I consulted the leaders of all the political groups on Dublin City Council on 6th of November who collectively agreed to meet with you Over the last number of days and following further discussions and consultations I believe there was no longer a consensus among the group for that meeting on that issue We have a desire to act collectively and I therefore convened a group leaders mission meeting this morning to discuss the request Due to the ongoing violence in Gaza and a situation that has a disregard for human rights and the need for a permanent ceasefire All parties are united in the view that they no longer support the proposed meeting and we have therefore decided to cancel it You are sincerely the Lord Mayor of Dublin and then the leaders of all the like Factions in Dublin City Council. Just remember, of course the Dublin is Ireland's capital city You've got a sign on this letter the leader of Fina fall the Green Party the Fina Gale the Labour Labour Sinn Féin and the Social Democrats so everyone say saying the Israel is such a vile and a proberious country in the view of the City Council that we're not going to Even meet with you So then I want to just kind of again. I'm trying to pull together the this is how the Israeli Embassy reacted to that So I'm pulling this statement from their Twitter page and I'm just going to read it out as well We were disappointed with the decision of the Lord Mayor to cancel the previously agreed meeting and the fact that there is No option nor willingness to discuss matters of importance Among the issues we were hoping to raise at the meeting are the concerns of many Sorry, Israeli and Irish Israeli citizens who live and work in Dublin City as well as members of the Jewish community here Regarding the general rise in anti-Semitism One such manifestation Is the intimidating atmosphere that has been created by numerous large protests which claim to be in support of Palestinians Unfortunately, it is evident there are elements within those protests Who chant slogans which in effect call for the destruction of Israel and protesters who display on the streets and university campuses in Dublin's in Dublin the flag of the pflp, which is a terrorist organization within the EU Such actions are worrisome and can have the effect of inciting hatred or worse Israel is a democratic state that has full diplomatic relations with Ireland and as has been stated many times It is important to ensure The dialogue is facilitated and maintained between officials and other parties Especially for the benefit of both of our respective diaspora community. So this is what the Israeli embassy put out saying that basically That meeting that you refuse to have with us We wanted to talk about the rise of anti-Semitism in Ireland the fact that the flag of the pflp A prescribed terrorist organization which participated in the october 7th massacre has been displayed But then and this is the crux. This is why I call it a fake neutrality. Look. Look what happened uh tweet That I spotted on my twitter timeline in celebration of the international day of solidarity with Palestinian people Dublin city councillors Met with the Palestinian ambassador in city hall to offer our support for Palestinian's Ethnic cleansing by the rogue Israeli state and this is a picture here Of the Israeli ambassador to Ireland. This is a woman who by the way has previously in an interview that I published on youtube Lest it disappear refused to condemn The october 7th massacres. He wouldn't come. She wouldn't condemn the massacre. She wouldn't condemn Hamas And yet the same dublin city council who refused to meet with the Israeli embassy Who wanted to discuss among other issues anti-Semitism? Had no problem Meeting with the Palestinian ambassador who just about well a month ago refused to condemn Terror. So there you go guys. That is Not neutrality, right in summary dublin city council will meet with the palestinians They will not meet with the Israeli representatives. It's a very anti-israel policy um, it's basically a sort of I mean quasi diplomatic boycott of Israel and I think it's also worth pointing out or reiterating That dublin is Ireland's main city and this is its official representative body. So again Ireland is not neutral to Israel. It's extremely pro-palestinian and if they are calling themselves neutral It's uh, it's their deceit. They're they're tricking only themselves and they're attempting to gaslight us into believing There's something that simply is not true at all.
