Today the flags fly at half-mast.

On the night of 14 June 1941, doors were knocked in the dark across Estonia. Mothers were given minutes. Children clutched whatever they could carry. More than 10,000 people — among them infants and the elderly — were loaded into cattle wagons and sent east, into the cold, into silence. Men were torn from their families and sent to camps from which most never returned.

They committed no crime. Their only offense was being Estonian, being educated, being landowners, being someone the regime decided to erase.

We lower our flags today not out of habit, but out of memory. For the empty chairs at kitchen tables. For the letters that stopped coming. For the graves that have no markers in the Siberian earth.

A nation that forgets its grief forgets itself. So we remember. We say their names. We teach our children why this day is quiet.

Mälestame. We remember. 🕯️🇪🇪

This is possibly the saddest thing I've seen in a long time..an immigrant nurse talking about fleeing her home..she saved her UNIFORM. So she could still WORK for our communities.

I'd fill this country with a thousand of this woman than one of those good for nothing thugs.
God help this poor woman.

#OnThisDay in 2005 the IRA murdered Robert McCartney, 33. Engaged father of 2. A riot prevented @PoliceServiceNI entering scene & facilitated a cleanup operation. A campaign of intimidation drove the McCartney family out of Short Strand where they had lived for 5 generations #OTD

[Suzanne Breen @SuzyJourno]

Stabbed & beaten, Robert McCartney was left to die like a dog on the street 21 yrs ago. Ironically, some involved in his murder & cover up had been at the Bloody Sunday march earlier. But they'd never believed in truth & justice - they were just cosplaying

Today marks the third anniversary of the death of Irish soldier, Pte Seán Rooney , who was murdered by Hezbollah in Lebanon. We should keep him in our thoughts and prayers, and we must never accept musicians, bands, politicians, or other protesters using the Hezbollah flag in anti-Israel protests as a sign of support for Hezbollah, just because Hezbollah is also an enemy of Israel. When you think of Hezbollah you should think of them with disgust, not admiration

Michael Collins hid from Black and Tans among Dublin's Jews
Stuart Rosenblatt : Cork Examiner Mon 7th March 2022.
The tale of Michael Collins, a renowned independence hero, hiding among the Dublin congregation is a story that was highlighted after dedicated research.
New evidence of Michael Collins evading the Black and Tans by masquerading as an elderly Jewish man on his way to synagogue, and speaking "gibberish" has been unearthed by genealogist Stuart Rosenblatt.
Jews were for centuries the second-largest religious group in Ireland. Those who attended the Dublin Hebrew Congregation, then at Adelaide Road Synagogue passed down the tale orally and Rosenblatt first heard of it from the late Julie Lapedus, a participant. He has also heard ‘secondhand’ accounts, including one from the late Sybil Fishman, whose father was also a witness. Had they not sheltered Collins, who knows what would have happened to Irish independence as we know it?

Rosenblatt said: “The Easter rising coincided with Passover celebrations and many Jewish families drew parallels between the Hebrew fight for freedom; Moses taking us from Egypt and the Irish independence struggle.”
Curfews and raids were "the norm" in 1920, he said, and rewards had been offered for the apprehension of the Dáil members.

"The longer these ‘rebels’ stayed ‘at large’, the more the British felt their authority was waning, thus the more desperate their methods became to cling onto Ireland. The constant searches and interrogations by the Black and Tans created a vicious cycle. The story of Collins hiding among Jews was not very well-known outside the community.”
Dublin in the 1920s had a sizeable Jewish population of over 3000. The bulk of the modern community hailed from Eastern Europe; mostly from Lithuania and the Russian Empire in the late 1800s fleeing persecution in the European mainland. Eventually, they settled in an enclave dubbed 'Little Jerusalem'. Yiddish, a European Jewish language even became the third most spoken language in Ireland at the time, after English and Irish.

[Dr. Alexandra Herzog @alexandratali25]

Dublin City Council’s move to strip my grandfather’s name from Herzog Park is deeply troubling.

Chaim Herzog was born in Belfast, attended school in Dublin & fought the Nazis as an Irishman.

Irish Jewish history is part of Ireland’s history. Protect it.

[Alan Shatter @Alan__Shatter]

The proposal of Dublin City Council to change the name of Dublin’s Herzog Park & erase Irish/Jewish history & the connectivity between Ireland & Israel in an antisemitic purge resonant of StalinistRussia has generated international uproar & condemnation.
It has even been criticised by members of the Irish government, some of whose inflammatory rhetoric & demonising of Israel has resulted in escalating antisemitism in Ireland. Having ignored Dublins Jewish community, engaged in no consultative process with it, ignored its own development plan, cultural & human rights obligations & not even had the decency to communicate with the Herzog family, the Council’s process & intent presents as a gross violation of the law & of the IHRA definition of antisemitism adopted by the Irish government last January without any steps being taken to implement it.
The council’s Mayor should withdraw this egregious proposal from the Councils agenda & publicly apologise to Ireland’s Jewish community & the Herzog family for its conduct .
