Anti-Israel Ireland is considering purchasing Israeli drones for its army, the Irish Times reported on Wednesday.
Ireland, which has always been hostile to Israel, increased its hostility to new heights since October 7th, joining South Africa’s absurd claim against Israel at the Hague, recognizing a Palestinian state as a reward for terrorism, and urging the EU to rescind its trade agreements with Israel. Its Prime Minister even referred to an Irish-Israeli hostage who was released from captivity in Gaza as a “child who was lost and was now found.”
However, when it comes to its self-interests, all its supposed views are scattered to the winds. It has no qualms about using Israeli arms, purchasing over $9.45 million of Israeli-manufactured arms in the past ten years. And now despite Israel’s so-called “genocide” in Gaza, the Irish military is allowing Israeli companies to submit bids for a tender for a fleet of drones, the Times reported. According to the report, Israel, which is a “world leader in drone technology” is “well-positioned to secure the contract.”
Ireland was joined by Spain and Norway when it recognized a Palestinian state in May. However, Spain also put its self-interests ahead of its so-called affinity for the Palestinians. Its plan to open an embassy in Ramallah failed because Spanish diplomats refused to relocate from Israel due to concerns about “quality of life and security.”
“It’s absurd to recognize Palestine without opening an embassy to formalize it,” sources from the Spanish Foreign Ministry who spoke with the Spanish digital newspaper Ok Diario said at the time.
Of course, the Spanish diplomats’ concerns are valid. In April, German Ambassador to the Palestinian Authority Oliver Owcza was attacked by a mob of enraged Palestinian students at Birzeit University over Germany’s support for Israel.

If they don’t get it from Israel, they’ll purchase it from Turkey. I’m sure Israel is not giving them a discount.
Is this supposed to be news? First of all, the Zionist “State” is not a real State; it’s almost like pre-schoolchildren playing house, just with lots of financial, propaganda and other power. As well, the gentiles tolerate the Zionist “State” for (as long as) it serves their purposes, whether that be Christian Zionism or any other reasons like their technology. But even if that “State” were an actual State, this still wouldn’t be news. Sovereign entities have only interests, not allies.
HaKatan, can you please clarify how the State of Israel is any less of a State than other country its size?
Also, you’re a Kapo.
“the Zionist “State” is not a real State’
