an open letter to ireland's minister for foreign affairs michael martin

Michael Martin.

Back in July some members of a squad of assassins used fake Irish passports while on a mission to kill a leading member of Iran's proxy terror army Hamas.

The assassins were never proven to be Israeli.

Nonetheless in the aftermath of this assassination of an Arab Islamist terrorist, you Michael Martin summoned Israel's ambassador to Ireland for a very public dressing down.

You also expelled a senior Israeli diplomatic official from Ireland.

All this was no doubt very pleasing to Fianna Fail's Arab Islamist terrorist friends.

I mean the Arab Islamist terrorists who have been paying your political party for Irish passports.

Those passports which you sell to Arabs are of course genuinely and egregiously illegal since you Michael Martin don't have the right to sell Irishness.

It doesn't belong to you Michael Martin.

Now.

Last week a Russian spy ring was broken up by the FBI in America.

Some of the Russian spies were carrying faked Irish passports.

To date Michael Martin you have failed to summon the Russian ambassador to Ireland for an explanation.

To date Michael Martin you have failed to expel any members of the Russian diplomatic corps.

To date Michael Martin you have failed to issue a single public dressing down to any Russian whatsoever.

Your lack of engagement on this matter is enlightening.

Clearly you consider it acceptable for Putin's Russia to blatently use fake Irish passports in its attempts to subvert the United States of America.

Yet the merest suspicion that the State of Israel has used a faked Irish passport in its supposed execution of a terrorist, a still unproven accusation, provokes apoplexy.

Afraid of the Russians are we?

Or is there some other reason for your lack of action with regard to the Russians forging Irish passports as part of their espionage operations?
