This was a major ramping-up of the left’s campaign against Israel:
“The Irish Parliament was poised last week to pass a major piece of
legislation that would make it crime to engage in trade with Israelis.
The bill, which was seen as part of the Boycott, Divestment, and
Sanctions movement, or BDS, would have imprisoned Irish citizens who
purchased souvenirs in Israel for a maximum of five years and subjected
them to a fine of more than $310,000.”They weren’t just boycotting Israel, they were going to imprison Irish citizens who dealt with Israel — even by buying souvenirs.
This bill was an outrageous crime. Obama would have been applauding. But the Trump administration stepped in: “Trump administration officials are said to have made clear to Irish leaders that passage of the bill would put them starkly at odds with the United States and subject them to inclusion on a list of countries supporting boycotts of the Jewish state.”
Thank Gd, we have an American President now.
