The obsession of the Irish government with falsely accusing Israel of genocide is only equaled by its determination to commit an actual genocide against the Irish people.
In its latest move, the Irish government has called for watering down the definition of genocide to be able to apply it to the Jewish State, but there is no need to water down the formal definition, the “intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”, to charge Ireland’s government with ‘self-genocide’ or ‘autogenocide’ against its own people.
In the last 20 years, Ireland, a small nation of millions, has been overwhelmed by a mass migration of 1.6 million people. In 2023, there were 54,678 births in the Republic of Ireland and 141,600 immigrants. Birth rates dropped 5% in 2023 (hovering at 1.5 births per woman well below replacement rate) but the number of immigrants grew by 31%. And will grow further.
The most popular name for boys was Jack, among Irish parents, while the most popular name among non-European immigrant parents was ‘Mohammed’.
Churches are closing across Ireland and mosques are opening in their place. There were only 400 Muslims in all of Ireland in 1991. That shot up to 19,000 in 2002 and 83,000 in 2023. 3% of Ireland’s children are Muslim now and the numbers are increasing every year.
Some Muslims are impatient with those numbers and have been trying to hurry them along.
In November, an Algerian Arab began stabbing children outside a Catholic school in Dublin. A five and six-year-old girl suffered severe injuries. When a crowd gathered to protest the latest act of Muslim violence, a ruthless police and media crackdown quickly ensued.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, the son of an Indian father, scolded that the Irish protesters had “brought shame on Dublin, brought shame on Ireland and brought shame on their families and themselves.” No shame was brought on those who had allowed Riad Bouchaker and a legion of foreign invaders like him to occupy Ireland, slaughter and displace the native population.
Media accounts emphasized that the Algerian Muslim stabber, Bouchaker, who needed an Arabic translator in court, was really an “Irish citizen” and condemned bigotry against him.
No mention was made in the media that Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire, the Catholic school attended by the children, was four blocks away from the ‘Dublin Mosque’ and the headquarters of the ‘Islamic Foundation of Ireland’ which had formerly been the Donore Presbyterian Church.
And no questions were asked about what this proximity to the largest mosque in the city might have had to the attack. Such questions, according to the government, are “disinformation”.
Bouchaker was only doing to Ireland’s children what the Dublin Mosque had done to a church.
One cannot fault the current Irish government for its Jihad over Israel. It’s really treating the Jews no worse than it treats the Irish. And if it expects Israel to lie down and die rather than stand up to Islamic terrorists that is the exact expectation that it (and not just it) has for Ireland.
And perhaps the Irish government is jealous that the Israelis refuse to follow in its footsteps.
The modern rebirths of Israel and Ireland were linked by common rebellions against British rule. Isaac Herzog, the president of Israel is the grandson of the Chief Rabbi of Ireland. His father, Chaim Herzog, Israel’s sixth president, was born in Belfast. His grandfather, Yitzhak HaLevi Herzog, was both an enthusiastic Irish nationalist and Zionist. Rabbi Herzog became known as the ‘Sinn Fein Rabbi’ despite Sinn Fein being founded by Arthur Griffith who hated the fairly small Jewish community in Ireland so much that he had cheered on the Limerick pogrom.
The ideological heirs of those who prided themselves on driving the Jews out of Limerick have welcomed in Limerick’s multiple mosques. Muslims are now the second largest religion in Limerick. And history shows it will only be a matter of time until the second will become the first.
Israel and Ireland as modern states arose from 19th century nationalist movements seeking to restore the glorious past of diaspora peoples. Animated by writers, artists, linguists and poets determined to revive what many saw as dead languages and the dead past, Zionism and Celtic nationalism seemed to have much in common. But the outcomes have been very different.
Half the Jewish diaspora lives in Israel while the vast majority of the Irish diaspora still lives abroad. Israel is a technological pioneer while Ireland serves as a Big Tech tax shelter. Israel has fought and won wars against Muslim invaders while Ireland shamefully kneels to them.
The revival of Israel is an object of pride to Jews around the world, but Ireland remains little more than a tourist stop with little about its state to take pride in as a modern day nation.
And most damningly, Israel’s birth rate is double that of the Irish birth rate.
Israel could very easily have ended up like Ireland: a kleptocracy run by crooked club socialists doling out just enough social welfare to keep the population voting for them, a cafe cultural establishment whose literary and linguistic experiments had soured into a club of worthless worthies, and plenty of history for scholars to look back on but no future to look forward to.
And if the Israelis hadn’t spent the last century fighting for their lives, maybe it would have.
If Israel had been living next door to some dying socialist republics with nothing to aspire to beyond wrangling about their share of EU subsidies, maybe it would have also become a failed experiment with Labor and Likud as its Fianna Fail and Fine Gael, Amos Oz as its Joyce, and people who don’t bother with the national language, but just want to move to Europe.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) the Jews were cursed or blessed with their enemies.
Mediocre decline was never an option for Israel. More than the Jews, it is their enemies who will not allow Zionism to die out. And so Israel is in yet another war for the Irish government to deplore. The Irish were allowed to stop fighting while the Jews can never have any respite.
And so paradoxically they can also never die out.
The Jews and the Irish are both a little mad, self-destructive and prone to endless infighting. We ought to understand each other better, but true to form we do not when we most need to.
Israel is what the Irish nationalists once dreamed of before they became small petty men.
The poet warriors who go off to die for their homeland are not historical figures in Israel, they are friends and neighbors. Everyday life is a struggle for survival against enemies out to kill you. Each child born is a triumph. Keeping a shop going while serving in the war is heroic. And so everyone takes a break from the infighting and pulls together because life means something.
Ireland once had that. It no longer does. And by the time it does again, it may be too late.
Where the Irish government allows Arab Muslim invaders to murder their children, the Israelis refuse. The Irish government calls this genocide: the Israelis call it survival. The Irish nationalists have sold out their homeland and their people, and resent those who won’t.
A generation hence the Israelis will have sons in their homeland while the sons of Ireland will be everywhere but in Dublin, mourning a homeland lost once again to foreign invaders and traitors.
Ireland is facing its own genocide. And few dare to talk about it. In Ireland, hating the Jews is safe, but opposing Muslims is a crime. Israel is not Ireland’s problem: instead it ought to be Ireland’s model. And yet accuse Israel of genocide and you’re a national treasure, but accuse the Irish government of genocide and you’ll face smear campaigns and criminal charges.
There’s a genocide problem in Ireland. The blood of Irish children stains a nation. Israel’s worst enemies are outside it, but Ireland’s worst enemies are inside its own government.
Absolutely brilliant, dear Mr. Greenfield.
Thank you for your razor-sharp analysis, which hits the nail on the head.
I admire you for your clear-sighted analysis and your ability to masterfully hit the bull’s eye.
Few people can do that. In another context, Ernest Becker, for example, with his book “The Denial of Death”. A masterpiece that sheds light on the depth psychological reasons why people murder, commit the Holocaust and also why they hate Jews.
I read your articles and analyses every day.
God bless you.
PS: Let me guess, you are an INFJ (MBTI, Carl Jung), aren’t you? I myself am an INFP.
Anyway. Thanks again!
Yeah, changing definitions really bothers me, Often there is some ulterior purpose.
Changing the definition of vaccines was crossing the Rubicon for me, there was nothing wrong with the old definition, in fact it was quite good. I was a big fan of the old vaccines, dating back to Pasteur or whoever, superb science.
For the anti-Semites of Limerick …

Pity Ireland
Fabled land of barroom brawlers
To Ahmed they dare not lift a hand
Content as beer-soaked crawlers
Ireland, America and Occupied “Palestine” the British Mandate occupation has much in common. Sadly Israel beat the British in occupied “Palestine”. You would think there would be complete empathy, the opposite.
Seriously,
If the Irish want to kill themselves it is fine by me.
…and anyway they will be too drunk to care.
The Irish have no dog in the Israel/Muslim hunt, and yet they howl out their hatred of Israel.
So if they want to commit auto-genocide by means of Muslim invasion, I say… have at it.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer set of sanctimonious virtue-signaling pr*cks. F ‘em.
It’s not the Native Irish that are killing Ireland. It’s the Muslims that are being allowed in by their compromised government and encouraged by that P.O.S. in London, PM Starmer
A few months back I read on these pages that, in Ireland, fully 60% of towns and cities have Muslim mayors.
It’s way past time that in England, Scotland and Ireland that the natives finally rise up and throw these foreigners (I am being polite) and the traitors who let them in out and take back their country.
We need only look at what’s going in the UK and realize that is our future if we let the globalists back into power here.
So much for the Irish saving civilization
My neighbor was one of the profs doing research on one of the islands off the west coast of Ireland so I got to see some of that stuff. The monks were driven off the mainland to the most remote islands out in the Atlantic that were hard for the barbarians to reach 🙂
Great book, wasn’t it.
Rise and Fall of Western Civilization:
Paganism to Christianity with birth of Judeo-Christian Western Civilization and basic human rights then to Secular Multicultural anti-Nationalistic Globalism back to Paganism then submission to the imperialistic, oppressive ISLAMIC demographic jihad from the East.
My bona fides: Irish mother, Irish-American father, grew up in the Connemara gaeltacht. Mother and brother buried in Moycullen.
I simply don’t understand modern Ireland. The people protest and the government ignores them. The government calls elections and the people vote the same old parties back into power. Meanwhile, economic policies that created the Celtic Tiger are now driving people to emigrate and the country feels like it did back in the 1950s: dull, listless, dead in the water, the best and brightest running for the exits.
I think Ireland’s problems are the problems of the world in general: we’re ruled in general by one giant kakistocracy, and it shows.
The gun is in the end the only antidote to royal oppression.
The tyrants must be killed.
“Elections” are merely a golden calf.
Ireland will soon be a small backwater in the Caliphate of Europe. And the mullahs will ban the one pleasure the intolerant priests never touched: booze. It’s hard to work up much sympathy for a country whose Taoiseach visited the Nazi German legation in Dublin (still up and running as the thousand year Reich had seven days left) to sign the condolence book after Hitler’s suicide.
The nation is doomed when the government sides with foreign terrorists.
Muslim invaders replace the native governments with the compromised one first.
The clean up must start there.
“Israel trying to exterminate and ethnically cleanse all the Palestinians…”
That premise is total bullsh*t..
If you can’t put your hand on a BIBLE and swear allegiance to the NATION then you do not belong in office!
Ireland is just now hitting that “magical %” of islam where chaos is common. Once that % gets to 10% then Ireland is no more! UNLESS they are ready and able to do a 1776! And the really stupid (not sad) part is the invaders are probably enjoying a good life PAID FOR by the Irish taxpayers!
Well put. Historians say that once a nation’s external enemies are defeated, and prosperity is achieved, its people begin to lose the passion and martial spirit that led to their success. Israel is still fighting for survival, so it is so true that its enemies fuel that spirit.
The US and Ireland? On the “empire falls” side of the arc. I do hope that our country can revive that spirit, as we are so imbued with the notion of self-governance that even if our elites don’t care, we do.
They better watch what their getting into right new
My kingdom for a block, report, or mute button.Hello? Administrator who reviews all my comments…. Hello?
Hate Jews Much?
You can have a white society or you can have white guilt. You cannot have both.
What a stupid tragedy. They fought the english for 800 years to get rid of them and now they just hand the nation to foreign invaders without a fight.
“Israel is what the Irish nationalists once dreamed of before they became small petty men.”
Not really, Irish Nationalists were always small and malevolent, they didn’t want to live, they wanted the British to die.
Israel does want to live.
Mr. Greenfield is 100% correct.
Michael Yon, the most experienced war correspondent and expert on genocide in the world, has said that the Irish people are being set up for mass genocide by their government.
Muslim/African immigrants of fighting age greatly outnumber Irish males of the same age cohort.
The indigenous Irish people are committing suicide by political correctness.
I only wish I could supply them with the guns they need to fight for their own survival.

You are talking nonsense. Like any Westerner with a brain in working order in their head, Israelis refuse to acknowledge “the Palestinians” as ‘a people’. And you can’t possibly aim at ‘exterminating’ a people that you know doesn’t exist.
“Brothers, there are 1.8 million of us (Arabs) in Gaza… When we seek the help [of our muslim brothers] it is to continue to wage jihad… Allah be praised, we [“Palestinians”] all have Arab roots, and every “Palestinian” in Gaza and throughout “Palestine” can prove his Arab roots, whether from Saudi Arabia, from Yemen, or anywhere… Brothers, half of the “Palestinians” are Egyptians, the other half are Saudis. Who are the “Palestinians”?… They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from upper Egypt, we are Egyptians, we are Arabs, we are muslims, we are a part of you.” (Fathi Hammad, Hamas Minister of the Interior & National Security representing “the Palestinians”, addressing Egypt in 2012:)
Genesis 12:3 – “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you;..”.
But then, as the millennia history proves again and again, one could not overestimate the self-assured arrogance of the debased half-wits. Still, at least be superstitious if you care (?) for your people and country.
Excellent. Simply excellent article.
