'Jews are killers!': Jewish man assaulted on Dublin bus amid spike in antisemitic incidents

A Jewish man was assaulted on a Dublin city bus over the weekend by a passenger shouting antisemitic slurs and accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza, in an incident that has drawn renewed attention to rising anti-Jewish sentiment in Ireland.
The attack occurred late Saturday night, when the assailant confronted the man, saying, “Israel is committing genocide in Gaza,” and “Jews are killers,” according to video footage circulating on social media. The attacker slapped the man and attempted to snatch his mobile phone.

He also claimed he could identify Jews by their faces and criticized a fellow female passenger for intervening, saying she was “defending the Jew.” He then accused the Jewish passenger of being complicit in what he described as “the genocide of Palestinians.”
The bus driver called police, and the suspect was arrested at the scene, according to local authorities. No serious injuries were reported.
The incident comes amid heightened tensions over Irish legislation that would criminalize the import of goods from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. The bill, formally known as the Israeli Settlements (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill 2025, is backed by several members of Parliament and has drawn criticism from Israel and Jewish leaders worldwide.

When in Ireland, be prepared to produce documentation that shows you are not a killer on demand. Or else.

Just as in NYC, be prepared to leave a subway car on demand if you are a "Zionist"

And, if you feel like being more proactive, keep a yellow Star of David handy, just in case you are forced to wear it in public in the near future.

That people born, raised in, and living outside of Israel are being attacked for having inflicted genocide.

Ireland needs to learn the name Ahmaud Arbery. That's where their hatred of Irish people who are Jewish is heading.

I don't know how other Black Americans aren't as angry as I am. We KNOW what this hateful hates leads to.

Don't look away.
