Last week, I posted about Tadhg Hickey, the so-called comedian from Ireland who would love us all to believe he is not a Jew-hater, but whose posts and videos show otherwise.
Hickey has now again let down his guard, this time retweeting one Ryan Dawson:
In case the name seems familiar, that could be because I have exposed his antisemitism in the past (as have others).
Here is a reminder:
This is who “anti-Zionist-not-antisemite” Hickey has retweeted.
And if Hickey wants to claim he had no idea that Dawson is a Jew-hater, behold the very tweet before the one he amplified :
While more people online are wisening up to Hickey’s antisemitism (thanks in part to posts like this), this does not seem to be the case in Ireland, where his Gatman show ran at the Project Arts Center in Dublin and at the Everyman Theater in Cork, and was even recently reviewed by the Irish Times, Ireland’s newspaper of record.
Perhaps in Ireland, Hickey’s antisemitism is not a bug but a feature, given how naked antisemitism seems to be socially acceptable there.
