From the Ireland Israel Alliance website - a new article that describes the Irish media's relations with Israel over the years:
"The hostility of Irish media to Israel over the past 25 years, with a few exceptions, is too well known to need retelling.... the tendency of news outlets to take anti-Israel propaganda at face value ... combine to deny the Jewish state a fair hearing in the Republic.
It wasn’t always like this. Fifty-five years ago ... Israel received a warm and supportive coverage ...This article will explore instead how Irish newspapers ... reported and commented on the birth of the modern Israeli state in 1947-48."
