Holocaust Memorial Day
The Holocaust defies the imagination. To give the simplest sense of scale: the 21st century was transformed by a multiple act of terror on September 11, 2001, when 3,000 people died. During the Shoah, on average, 3,000 Jews were killed every day for five and a half years.

The tone, intensity and imbalance of much anti-Israel comment in Ireland and the rest of Europe oversteps the bounds of legitimate political debate. It leads me to suspect that the old anti-semitic virus lurks in our people in a mutated and slightly camouflaged form.
