Well Done Ireland

Blimey, it seems that you can't even call out a country for Genocide these days without that country taking offence which is exactly what Israel have done after Ireland supported a petition at the International Criminal Court last week accusing Israel of the war crime.
Obviously the knee-jerk reaction of the Netanyahu Government was to reach for that tiresome accusation of anti-semistism before announcing that they would close their Dublin embassy due to Ireland's 'extreme anti-Israeli policies’ which the Irish Taoiseach, Simon Harris, replied was: ' deeply regrettable' and 'Ireland will always speak up for human rights and international law'.
Why anyone would be upset that a nation committing genocide has shut up its Embassy is confusing but Israel is fast running out of friends but it does have a good one in Moldova which is where the Israeli Government is planning on opening a new one due to the East European country being more friendly towards Israel.
Netanyahu could always go to Ireland to discuss it, or rather he could but as Ireland have agreed to detain him in line with the ICJ issuing of an arrest warrant for Netanyahu if he showed his corrupt face there it wouldn't be worth buying a return ticket, a plane would be provided for him to The Hague.
The patch of the Planet that Netanyahu can visit without having his collar felt is thankfully rapidly shrinking but as he is facing charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery and up to 13 years in jail, it could soon become very much smaller.
