179: Rachel Moiselle: the huge price defending Israel and the Jewish people in Ireland

“I can’t align with Palestinian protests and they say I’m less Irish because of it”.

Rachel Moiselle is a young woman born and bred in Dublin, a PhD. student who calls herself a city girl.

She loves the place she grew up in - but the feeling among her people isn’t much reciprocated.

Raised a Roman Catholic, her father’s family were Jewish - and in standing up for Ireland’s community of around 3,000, Rachel’s found out the hard way about antisemitism since October 7th.

She’s been shunned, cancelled and lost friends.

But she wouldn’t change a thing - oh, except one, that is, she’s fully converting to Judaism.

Rachel gives her first ever interview to Jonny Gould about the life she's been thrust into since October 7th.

Jonny Gould's Jewish State is proudly supported by Dangoor Education and UK Toremet, promoting philanthropy.
