Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said he does not regret saying the Israeli response to the 7 October Hamas attack was becoming “something more approaching revenge”.

Varadkar is catching flak for saying very softly what the Israeli government has admitted openly since day one?

Israel has declared itself at war and vowed “immense” revenge…

I’m sorry, making this post makes you an anti-semite.

I didn’t down vote. I figured it was sarcasm.

It is sad that I need to confirm this.

He’s a smarmy fuck, but when he feels like he’s on the popular side he digs in.

This is the case with most leaders who condemned Israel. Jordan has a dictator who has left Jordanians to live under crushing poverty, Erdoğan kills Kurds wherever he can, Sisi is a military dictator who won Egypt with a coup, etc etc

Huh?

Not what I was implying, just that I think this guy is an incredible prick who’d step over his own mother to be seen as a popular guy in the papers.

He is nothing close to a tyrannical leader, just a prick
