The oldest hatred has returned. Silence is violence. Stand tall & proclaim “this will not stand”

I am appalled at how anti semitic & nasty Ireland has become. It has wrongly boycotted Israel, refused to take part in the Eurovision out of pure hatred for Israel, sided with hateful people & now to add insult to injury is broadcasting a well loved Irish programme of Father Ted instead of the Eurovision without permission of the Creator of Father Ted. RTE should be in fact educating the Irish people of the horrors of the Holocaust how it started with boycotting Jewish businesses, spewed hateful language which then turned violent & killed millions. Just horrific.

The boycot against Israel and Israel goods and Israeli authors, artists and humankind must stop. So thankful for support against the vilifiers who taint and warp and perpetuate anti Jewish hate.

Fair play to Graham Linehan. RTE are a disgraceful antisemitic cesspool. Bakhurst must go. He has crossed a redline and has openly showed RTE can no longer be trusted to be neutral. Disgusting

RTE and the director Kevin Bakhurst have besmirched the name of Graham Linehan by using Father Ted in a sectarian antisemitic attack.

Graham Linehan is a great man. If it were not for him, I as a Jew and a Zionist, would find it very hard not to hate Ireland. Graham has proved that the spirit of Dean Swift and Oscar Wilde still lives. Well done, Mr Linehan!

Connection to the Land of Israel is an inherent part of Judaism. Hatred of Israel, on any level, is antisemitism.

I do not support anti-semitism or replacement Theology as a Bible Believing Christian. Viva Israel
