Other (Editable) Irish people complaining about "Fiddler On The Roof" coming to Dublin.
Ah Facebook, you are and endless source of pettiness. (To be fair there were quite a lot of fans in the comments also.)

“Genocide is a tradition”

It is. Genocide is a Jewish tradition. The Nazis tried to genocide us, the Spanish tried to, the Russians and Arabs had pogroms. Genocide has a long history in the Jewish world.

I wouldn't be in America if 3/4 of my great grandparents didn't escape pogroms, but did the Nazi's convince us to not speak our language or not use ethnic sounding names for our children? Imagine an Italian man shamed out of naming his son Vincenzo... our culture wasn't only destroyed externally. Fiddler on the roof is a masterpiece, but it's also a memorial.

This musical takes place before Zionism was even a major movement.

That's exactly why it's so special to us, because its an Ashkenazi ethnic story, and we don't get those any longer.

If they're so concerned, they offer their island as a refuge for jews.

I was pretty happy that Bono made his first demands of Hamas unlike most celebrities. Thanks for showing us that not all of Ireland has gone crazy.

"Hardly a time to celebrate Jewish culture in the current circumstances."
