דער קערפער פֿון השםFascinating collection of letters responding to an article about antisemitism in Ireland.
Excerpt from the first one, here:
"Rachel Moiselle’s painful lament (‘Listen to #Irish #Jews when we tell you we are being betrayed’, December 28) evoked the deep sense of belonging that Irish Jews have always felt towards #Ireland.
She cites an emotive reflection by #RobertBriscoe’s granddaughter, Vivienne, on his deep patriotism and contribution to Irish freedom and ponders how he would consider the position his contemporary co-religionists find themselves in today as their very #Irishness is openly challenged.
Sadly, however, as the biographer of Briscoe (Robert Briscoe: #SinnFéin Revolutionary, #FiannaFáil Nationalist and Revisionist Zionist, 2016), I would argue that from his first days in the revolutionary movement to the end of his long political career, he was aware that to be #Jewish was to have one’s loyalty constantly questioned."
Letters: Revolutionary Robert Briscoe knew that to be Jewish is to have one’s loyalty constantly questioned
Madam — Rachel Moiselle’s painful lament (‘Listen to Irish Jews when we tell you we are being betrayed’, December 28) evoked the deep sense of belonging that Irish Jews have always felt towards Ireland.
