Ben Cohen, a columnist for the Jewish News Syndicate, wrote that he initially regretted making a quip about Paddystinians because Paddy was an ageing pejorative about drunkenness and other Irish stereotypes.
“As it turns out, I needn’t have worried,” he wrote. “I discovered that the hashtag #Paddystinian was being eagerly adopted on social media by Irish supporters of Hamas. The accompanying posts were variously obnoxious or downright stupid, with many of those mocking the assertion that their country is antisemitic.”
So it’s cool for you to be racist but the second someone criticizes your state, not your religion, you get mad, Ben? Guy sounds like a fucking chode.
“At first I thought I was being bigoted, which is bad. Then I discovered I disagree with them, so that makes it okay.”
Yup. Some Irish people say things I don’t like, so that makes my statements ok.
I’m sure he loves when people do the same to Jewish people
