Is Ireland the most hostile EU country to Israel?

The Israeli embassy has come under attack on its Facebook page, and antoher Facebook group called on Dubliners to copy the Egyptian attack on the Israeli embassy and throw rocks at the Embassy in Dublin.

A spokesman for the Israeli Embassy in Dublin said he did not believe the country was the most hostile place in Europe for Israelis.“The problem is a very vocal, small minority. They have some sympathy in the media and parliament which exaggerates their influence. The street theatre in Grafton Street was very provocative.

"Those activists have a fixation on Israel, not on any other country, although they claim they are not antisemitic. They are trying to destroy relations between Israel and Ireland. They should not be given the recognition they do not deserve.”

“The present Irish administration has actually had a more positive relationship than the last one, the current Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore is very fair and impartial, more so than has been the case in the past.”
