Move to strip former Israeli leader’s name from a Dublin park sparks an outcry in Ireland

LONDON: A proposal to rename a Dublin park named after a former Israeli president has sparked an outcry, with Ireland’s chief rabbi saying it would be “a shameful erasure” of the country’s Jewish history. Supporters argue that renaming Herzog Park would be a gesture of solidarity with Palestinians following the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip that left more than 70,000 people dead, according to the territory’s Health Ministry.
