Weird when you consider how little Jews we have in Ireland. Like, we only have one tiny Synagogue in Dublin. How exactly are they destroying this country?

You'll just drive yourself crazy trying to understand the logic behind the kind of moronic inbreeding racist idiots who put this flyer up. There is no logic, because they are just disgusting hate filled people. The only "reason" is that they need someone to blame because they won't take responsibility for how miserable they have made their own lives.

    I wasn't trying to understand their viewpoint because I know they are just copying their views from the Internet. There's a big problem with lots of people getting the viewpoints from American politics and forgetting some of the US problems don't apply here.

    You have to be a little careful: by sharing it here, even as something you are against, you have made the message travel farther than a few shitty printed leaflets. Nazis like games and double-meanings and codes because they know they can’t openly support posts like this, but the goal is always to “spread the message”. You may have inadvertently played into their hands.

    That's usually pretty rare but happens enough I don't remove bigots' stickers, only cover. Fucking sewing needles too

    I tend to use a metal scraper when doing this sort of neighborhood clean-up.

    So far, haven't encountered any boobytraps, but it's not much inconvenience to be safe while removing garbage.

    Just need to stick a larger sticker of Devine or some shit on top of it.

    Go around and cover them up with antifascist posters. Bonus points if you manage to include screenshots of nazis/neonazis getting punched in the face.

    It's the implication.

    I'm a little mildly infuriated that the picture of the thing I'm supposed to be reading is so small and sideways.

    Easier to hate someone when you don't see them all the time at the bar, at the office, at the coffee shop...

    Print out pictures of cats and paste them over the top.

    I try to imagine who put them there. Someone who sneaks out at night, looking both ways before taping the antisemetic flyer down. Feels to them they are helping the world. Spends the rest of the day at the computer reading conspiracy theories, and preparing their next flyer.

    I just visited Auschwitz and Birkenau memorial camps in Poland, with the kids. Feels like never forget is always important to remember.

    That's sad, to still have this kind of xenophobic discriminatory content in 2023

    Are those actual real quotes? And if so... WTF??

  • source

  • The first quote is real, but out of context. It is from a book by a young Jewish author reacting to antisemitic racial theory with... Jewish supremacist racial theory. It straddles the line between satire and seriousness; it's intentionally provocative.

    The second is certainly not real. It's wildly out of character for Menachem Bagin, no attribution for it exists, it isn't mentioned in any reporting of any event he appeared at or in any biography of him... it's straightforwardly made up to suit an antisemitic fantasy.

    The third quote is also fake; it was made up in the early 2000s, about a decade after the rabbi in question (who was very prominent to hasidic Jews) died. It doesn't make any sense in the context of Jewish theology or this particular rabbi's teachings, but it does sound something an antisemitic conspiracy theorist would imagine a Jewish rabbi saying.

    Here's the thing: I'm sure there are plenty of very real quotes by Jews saying awful stuff about non Jews -- at the same time, whenever an Irish person says something idiotic, you don't expect every other Irish person to have to prove to you they don't share that opinion; that kind of behavior is basically the definition of bigotry.

    Very sad indeed. I do not understand of what some people are scared so much / have so much hatred toward that they put energy in doing something like that.

    Can you go to the police for that?

    Nothing stopping you from reporting it, but offensive posters are likely a pretty low priority for them.

    Some cities do have cleaning crews that deal with minor vandalism. If those exist in your area, maybe notify them.
