Doherty said that the party has guidelines for how members and elected representatives use social media. “The various tweets from Sinn Féin TD Réada Cronin are inaccurate, anti-Semitic and racist,” said Maurice Cohen, chair of the Jewish Representative Council of Ireland. Varadkar tweeted the remarks of the new Sinn Féin TD “should trouble us all”. This is not the kind of change we need,” he added.

The Palestine representative council of Ireland has condemned the ongoing apartheid in Palestine 🤔 FreePalestine

This is the Jewish community speaking out on something like this but over in your home country you're persecuting another minority. Or should I say killing them. And you want an apology because the media says so 🤣 Ok! 😀👏

...'unearthed' is th perfect word!!! So,, did he condemn her comments 6 years ago,, our were they too busy bombing Palestinian children at th time? And as a matter of interest,, does he drink Fluoride?

Comments about too many people in Ireland having too many opinions about too many things they know too little about too often sounds a tad stereotypical.

Trying to normalise antisemitism; is this part of the CHANGE SF are adamant the Irish electorate want?

SinnFein has a big problem with Antisemitism within its members .

Those that defend the apartheid and racist state of Israel are in no moral position to lecture anyone else on what is offensive or not. Blowing children to bits, shooting them in the eye is 100 times more offensive than any written word can be.

And I condemned land grabbing, bombing schools and hospitals detaining children from the parents and persecuting a population.

As a Jewish man I'm not surprised, sinn Fein supporters are usually antisemitic knuckle draggers
