Thank you Graham for calling out RTE's shameful incitement of hatred towards Jews. RTE and its ilk are smashing western civilization's Judeo-Christian foundation with a sledge hammer. To associate the innocent Father Ted's characters with their Jew hatred is grotesque.

This a step too far and Ireland is now in danger of becoming a place unrecognisable to the country we were promised by Collins, Dev and lemass .

Embarrassing that the proud nation of Ireland is now noted principally for its vile, shameless, noxious anti-Semitism. Was it really ever thus?

Childish and petty, but unsurprising behaviour from RTE.

Hardly democratic to dictate what viewers can and cannot watch especially when that programme is not promoting terrorism violence or a particular religion.

Antisemitic racists should not be involved in tv or radio.

Very presumptuous of RTE to decide to boycott this event: not everyone shares their view on Israel.

This is disgraceful. TV us for entertainment purposes only and should not be used to inflict despicable biases on the public. Israel, like any other country has the right to perform along with every other country without people, especially people in authority, using it to make a political statement.

I support Graham Linehan in calling out Ireland’s boycott of Eurovision because of Israel’s participation as hateful.

Jews are a bunch of lying, bloodthirsty, arrogant, manipulative, baby-killing man-raping, inbred demons that should be Zyklon B'd to death for the good of the world. Enjoy your £7000 Graham.

Ireland's stance toward Israel and Jews is beyond despicable.
