要证明反犹主义会毁掉一切它所触及的东西，看看爱尔兰共和国就足够了。
For proof that antisemitism destroys everything it touches, look no further than the Republic of Ireland.
爱尔兰曾经是一个以热情友善著称的国家，向每位来访者送上“十万次欢迎”，如今却充斥着对以色列的恐惧与憎恶。究竟发生了什么？
Once a famously friendly country, wishing "A hundred thousand welcomes" to every visitor, Ireland now seethes with Israelophobia. What went wrong?
爱尔兰国家足球队竟因未与以色列队握手而应感羞耻。周日爱尔兰队与以色列队的交锋，暴露了这个国家对这个犹太国家的恐惧与憎恨到了何种程度。
IRISH NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR NOT SHAKING HANDS WITH ISRAELI OPPONENTS The extent of Ireland’s fear and loathing of the Jewish state was apparent in its soccer clash against Israel on Sunday.
两队在欧洲国家联赛中相遇。赛程公布的那一刻起，爱尔兰就陷入了愤怒。“我们为什么要和那些实施种族灭绝的疯子交手？”都柏林那些戴着凯夫亚赫头巾、喋喋不休的人问道。
The two teams met as part of the UEFA Nations League. From the minute the fixture was announced, Ireland was gripped by rage.
一股毛主义式的狂怒席卷了绿宝石岛。一场“停止比赛”的运动被发起，试图让“我们的球员”免于与以色列人共享球场的耻辱。
"Why would we want to play against those genocidal lunatics?", asked Dublin’s keffiyeh-adorned chattering class.
体育界、政界、媒体和都柏林左翼沆瀣一气，要求取消比赛。他们哭喊着，爱尔兰球员不应被迫与“灭绝凶手”混在一起，并臆想出一幅疯狂画面：身穿绿色球衣的球员遭到双目狂乱的以色列球员围攻。
A Maoist fury descended on the Emerald Isle. A campaign was launched – "Stop The Game" – to try to save "our boys" from the shame of sharing a pitch with Israelis.
一度，那群戴着凯夫亚赫头巾的暴民聚集在爱尔兰队下榻的都柏林酒店外，用扩音器高声呼喊，要求停止比赛。
Sportspeople, politicians, the media and the Dublin left clubbed together to demand the match be called off.
比赛最终如期进行。出于安全原因，比赛不得不在中立国家匈牙利闭门进行。
Irish soccer players should not be made to mingle with "genocidal murderers", they cried, conjuring up a demented vision of the boys in green being set upon by wild-eyed Israeli players.
全球最新报告发现：反犹暴力已达到1994年以来的最高水平。然而，即使在比赛中，爱尔兰人仍忍不住得意洋洋地给了以色列一记暗拳。以色列国歌响起时，爱尔兰球员低头致敬。他们佩戴黑色臂章，纪念那些在以色列“种族灭绝”中丧生的人。
At one point, the keffiyeh mob gathered outside the Dublin hotel the Irish soccer team was staying in, barking through megaphones for the game to be stopped.
更糟的是，他们拒绝与以色列球员握手，仿佛对方患有道德疾病；仿佛只要碰一下“那群人”，就可能染上种族灭绝的病毒。这种行为粗鄙、自恋，而且严重违背体育精神。
In the end it went ahead. For security reasons, it had to be played behind closed doors in a neutral country – Hungary. ANTISEMITIC VIOLENCE REACHES DEADLIEST LEVEL SINCE 1994, NEW GLOBAL REPORT FINDS Yet even at the game, the Irish couldn’t resist landing a smug blow on Israel.
爱尔兰从上到下都被反以色列的狂热所吞噬。仇恨以色列如今成了文化精英阶层的道德黏合剂。他们通过自己对犹太人家园的敌意来界定所谓的“美德”。你越仇恨以色列，就越有道德。
The Irish players bowed their heads during the Israeli national anthem.
这股狂热无处不在。媒体执着于他们错误地称为以色列“战争罪行”的东西。
They wore black arm bands for those killed in Israel’s "genocide".
最近的一项分析发现，今年1月至5月，爱尔兰四大主要媒体，包括国家广播公司RTE，共发表了3,007篇关于以色列与巴勒斯坦的报道，平均每天20篇，数量超过任何其他议题。
Worse, they refused to shake the Israeli players’ hands, as if they were morally diseased; as if you might catch the genocide bug simply by touching Those People.
政治圈同样充斥着仇恨。政界人士公开称以色列为“令人作呕的犹太复国主义政权”。
It was churlish, narcissistic and profoundly unsporting. Ireland has been consumed, head to toe, by the anti-Israel frenzy.
爱尔兰政府甚至积极游说淡化“种族灭绝”一词的含义，以便我们最终能够据此给以色列定罪。说白了：那就让我们收拾犹太人吧。
爱尔兰最知名的文化名片——从说唱乐队Kneecap到畅销作家莎莉·鲁尼——几乎张口闭口都是以色列。
Hating Israel is now the moral glue of the cultural establishment. They define their "virtue" through their animus for the Jewish homeland. The more you hate Israel, the more virtuous you become.
反以色列的敌意随处可见。不仅在都柏林——这座无可争议的欧洲仇犹之都——乡村 likewise also exists. I was cycling in the West recently when I saw a Palestine flag in a random field of sheep. Sheep for Palestine? How fitting.爱尔兰从上到下都被反以色列的狂热所吞噬。仇恨以色列如今成了文化精英阶层的道德黏合剂。他们通过自己对犹太人家园的敌意来界定所谓的“美德”。你越仇恨以色列，就越有道德。
The mania is everywhere. The media is obsessed with what it falsely calls Israel’s "war crimes". A recent analysis found that between January and May this year, four of Ireland’s main media outlets, including state broadcaster RTE, published 3,007 reports about Israel-Palestine. That’s 20 a day. More than on any other topic. The hate is rife in political circles, too. Politicians openly refer to the "disgusting Zionist regime" .

The Irish government has even agitated for a watering down of the meaning of "genocide" in order that we might finally find Israel guilty of it.
政治圈同样充斥着仇恨。政界人士公开称以色列为“令人作呕的犹太复国主义政权”。
Shorter version: Let’s stitch up the Jews. Ireland’s biggest cultural exports – from rap outfit Kneecap to bestselling author Sally Rooney – speak of little else besides Israel.
爱尔兰政府甚至积极游说淡化“种族灭绝”一词的含义，以便我们最终能够据此给以色列定罪。说白了：那就让我们收拾犹太人吧。
You can feel the anti-Israel animus everywhere.
爱尔兰最知名的文化名片——从说唱乐队Kneecap到畅销作家莎莉·鲁尼——几乎张口闭口都是以色列。
Not only in Dublin, Europe’s undisputed capital of Israelophobia.
反以色列的敌意随处可见。不仅在都柏林——这座无可争议的欧洲仇犹之都——在乡村也同样存在。最近我在西部骑车时，看到一片随机的羊场里竟竖着一面巴勒斯坦旗帜。羊也支持巴勒斯坦？真是贴切。
Also in the countryside. I was cycling in the West recently when I saw a Palestine flag in a random field of sheep. Sheep for Palestine? How fitting.
情况一度糟糕到以色列在2024年罕见地决定关闭其驻都柏林大使馆，并指责爱尔兰“污名化犹太国家”。
Things got so bad that Israel took the extraordinary decision to shut its embassy in Dublin in 2024, citing Ireland’s "demonization of the Jewish state".
爱尔兰人会说，他们只是在“批评以色列”。现在 surely已经没人会信了？当“批评以色列”变得失衡而执念化时，它就越过了红线，沦为反犹偏见。尤其当它宣扬我们这个时代最 toxic 的弥天大谎——即以色列是一个绝无仅有的野蛮民族，与20世纪30年代的纳粹如出一辙。
The Irish will say they are just "criticizing Israel". Surely no one’s buying this anymore? "Criticism of Israel" crosses the line into antisemitic bigotry when it becomes disproportionate and obsessive. When it promotes the great, toxic falsehood of our age – namely that Israel is a uniquely barbarous nation not unlike the Nazis of the 1930s.
爱尔兰只有约3000名犹太人。至于犹太国家，它距都柏林2500英里，是一个遥远的国家，爱尔兰人对它毫无影响力。
There are only around 3,000 Jews in Ireland. As for the Jewish state – it is 2,500 miles from Dublin, a distant nation over which the Irish have no influence whatsoever.

我认为，这源于爱尔兰自身道德秩序的混乱。自天主教会缓慢崩塌以来，爱尔兰便开始寻找一套新的道德体系，以及一套关于善与恶的新叙事。
I think it stems from Ireland’s own moral disarray. Ever since the slow-motion collapse of the Catholic Church, Ireland has been on the hunt for a new system of morality, for a new narrative of Good and Evil.
在就抵制以色列比赛进行激烈投票之际，爱尔兰首相驳斥有关爱尔兰反犹主义的担忧 爱尔兰在以巴危机中找到了这套叙事。对后天主教时代的爱尔兰而言，以色列已成为撒旦的替身、一个可供爱尔兰人衡量自身美德的恶魔形象。
IRISH PM REJECTS ANTISEMITISM CONCERNS IN IRELAND AMID DRAMATIC VOTE OVER BOYCOTTING ISRAEL GAME And it has found it in the Israel-Gaza crisis. Israel has become a kind of Satan substitute for post-Catholic Ireland, a demonic entity against which the Irish might measure their virtue.
如今，爱尔兰人的身份几乎完全由其对以色列的敌意来定义。自称“文化意义上的爱尔兰人”的埃德·希兰，在迈克勒莫尔事件后领教了这一点。由于他未能对犹太国家表现出足够的刻毒，他在爱尔兰几乎被当成了不存在的人。一位专栏作家怒气冲冲地说，他“永远都不该再在爱尔兰受到欢迎”。
Irishness is now defined almost entirely by its antipathy to Israel. Ed Sheeran, who calls himself "culturally Irish", found this out following the Macklemore scandal. Sheeran was virtually unpersoned in Ireland for failing to be sufficiently venomous about the Jewish state. He should "never feel welcome in Ireland ever again", fumed one columnist.
问题就在这里：身为爱尔兰人，就意味着憎恨以色列。反犹主义一直是一种吞噬一切的心智病毒，是一种致盲的阴谋论；在这种说法中，犹太人被视为世间一切灾祸的根源。而眼下，爱尔兰深陷这种病毒，病情严重。
There you have it: to be Irish is to hate Israel. Antisemitism has always been an all-consuming mind virus, a blinding conspiracy theory where the Jews come to be seen as the source of every earthly ill. And right now, Ireland has got this virus bad.
