Anti-Semites online are co-opting the Irish language to bypass censorship of their hatred and threats. This poster announces “I love dead Jews”. We need to stand up against this.

I’m confused. Why do you expect strangers to challenge a random poster? Report them, done.

I imagine the number of native Irish speakers who regularly post anti-Semitic content as Gaeilge online is vanishingly small. Think you’d probably be able to get most of them banned yourself in an afternoon.

Respectfully, reporting won’t actually stop anything. They just make new accounts. On the plus side, maybe three people will understand them.

That’s not just an anti-semite, that’s a Nazi.

See this is what the zionists want! They want us to confuse the Jewish people with the Israelis. We are not anti semitic ffs. We are anti zionists.
Jews aren’t always zionists

Nobody. Understands. Them.
Unless they speak fluent Irish.
Source? Me, I’m a result of our shite method of teaching Irish. I haven’t a clue. Like most other Irish people.

I think it’s stupid accusing people of “co-opting” Irish just because you don’t like what they’re saying in it. How do you know they’re not Irish?
You might as well say anti-semites are co-opting English. No language has any inherent position on Jews.
Irish is not political, therefore it cannot be co-opted.

Yeah sure but you’re talking to the wrong internet, OP.

Not surprised.
Report, then get off Twitter.
