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?

      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.

      There is an abundance of stupid quotes from people of all kind on this planet.

      These quotes are handpicked to hate, not to initiate discourse .

        Yes I understand that, but if those people had a following and support from the government or a political party it becomes much more serious than if it’s some random drunk after a Friday might bender.

          Two of them did have a considerable following and political support. Fortunately, those are the two quotes that are made up.

    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 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.

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

        Yeah, you know those little hats they wear? I heard if they sing Hava Nagila, spin around once, and touch the hat, they can teleport!

        Fun additional fact: Harry Belafonte didn’t die, he was just singing Hava Nagila again but this time he was wearing a yarmulke because he was visiting a synagogue. The rabbi recognized him and mentioned that he enjoyed the cover, so Harry began to perform it and at the end of the song, the yarmulke got bumped and poof: Harry Belafonte now resides on one of those Jewish space lasers the lizard people in congress keep talking about.

        Anyways, he’s a huge hit up there in outer space; I heard he’s working on a pretty badass cover of Mazel Tov now, can’t wait for it to drop! I’m a little sad he’s not on Earth after that teleporter accident but it really worked out for the best if you ask me: We’re going to get some wonderful music out of it!

      Not xenophobic, that’s for people from another country. Anti religious.

        Fun fact: Xenophobia just means “fear of “others”” (technically “fear of alien” but using the definition of alien that is “not like the observer”). So it can apply to any group- national, racial, religious, even regional or tribal.

        It is the umbrella term for all interpersonal bigotry.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a cop that put it there. At least in the U.S. Do Irish police have as much of a nazi problem?
