The Irish government takes pride in its new prejudiced draft Bill, claiming to be the first country to try to ban trade with Israel. Indeed, it might be the first time since Nazi Germany that any European govt. has promoted a law to specifically boycott goods produced within the only Jewish state. And what is the acronym of the “Prohibition of Importation of Goods” Bill? PIG.

The acronym “PIG” mentioned by the Israeli ambassador is accurate, derived from “Prohibition of Importation of Goods” in the title of the Irish “Israeli Settlements (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill 2025.” However, its use may be rhetorical, given the term’s cultural sensitivity in Jewish contexts. The bill aims to ban imports from Israeli settlements, which are deemed illegal under international law, but critics argue it discriminates against Jewish-produced goods. The acronym’s accuracy is confirmed, though its framing is contentious.
