Barrett the Never Ending Whinger, In their hatred of Israel, certain Irish politicians can only be described as unhinged fanatics. A prominent example would be Richard Boyd Barrett, a People Before Profit-Solidarity TD. At various “pro-Palestine” rallies, a hysterical Barrett has described Israel as “filthy”, “savage”, “psychopaths” and “mass murderers”. He has even called for Israel’s destruction, stating “The only answer is intifada.” In Dáil Éireann, Barrett has used his parliamentary privilege to argue that Israel has no right to defend itself. In other words, Jews in the Middle East should just let themselves be destroyed by jihadists. This cretin represents the very worst of Ireland. He belongs in Hamas, not in the parliament of a liberal democracy.
