It never happened if we destroy the record

Sinn Fein and other councilmen are reported to have voted to rip out the page of a town's visitors' book, which Israel's Ambassador to Ireland Zion Evrony had signed during a visit last month. According to newspaper reports, town councilmen in Carrickmacross, Co Monaghan, voted on Friday to remove the page, which was signed by Evrony during a visit to the town's civic offices.

"At the time of his visit The Independent reported that Evrony was in the region on a tour of Ireland, aimed at countering misconceptions about Israel. According to the paper, he contacted the town council hoping to meet local officials, however his visit sparked a protest attended by some 30 demonstrators and arranged by Sinn Fein. It was reported that one of the protesters told the ambassador he wasn't welcome and asked him to leave. "

There is something quite unreal about Sinn Fein councilmen complaining about a visit by anyone, let alone a representative of a friendly country. Maybe SinnFein have forgotten their recent past or maybe their past is why they would rather have relations with Hamas terrorists than Israeli politicians.
