I am not an historian, decent author or a journalist, and the chances are that unless there is a link or reference to somewhere else, the perpetrator is yours truly – Renaud Sarda. I created this blog as a focal point, to arm people with arguments and facts that they can perhaps use to counter biased media reporting and anti-Israel propaganda, and to help counter (BDS) campaign. I am a Zionist/Sephardi/Jew who will fly the Israeli flag, and defend whatever Israel does.
To all friends of Israel in Ireland and all who support free expression and the spread of understanding and friendship between peoples
This email is to inform you that Foley's pub/restaurant, Merrion Row,
Dublin 2 (near St. Stephen's Green) has been flying the national flag of Israel from its upper window for the past week.
The move began when the proprietor learned of the annual celebration of Israel's Independence Day, Yom Hatzmaut, which this year fell on 26 April and was celebrated in Dublin on Monday 30 April, and decided to fly the blue-and-white Star of David flag of Israel in honour of the occasion.
Despite pressure from some predictable quarters to remove the flag, the pub has courageously continued to fly it.
Please send them a message of appreciation and support
