Oh, this? It’s just an American author for Times of Israel casually suggesting that they should carpet bomb and drop napalm on Irish peacekeepers.

(Please remember not to criticise this. You wouldn’t want to be called antisemitic.)

You've seen the bio of this guy, I guess? He's a former US policy adviser, including on the Israeli/Palestine peace talks in the past.

I actually cross-referenced the two accounts this morning and your man has deleted that post.

Side note: I just mentioned this to someone else - something that might interest you, whether or not you like their music, given how prominent and outspoken they've been about Palestine. It's Ireland's submission to the Oscars.

Just a quick note to say, the Irish public broadcaster #RTÉ makes its news and other public-service programmes available without paywall or geoblocking.

I find this very nice :)

Because #Ireland has a certain history of peacekeeping and humanitarian work, the reporting on Israel-Palestine has a slightly different angle (still very balanced to both sides).

Nah, go on. Call me an anti-semite. It's just a word which now rolls off my back.
